SUMMARY:“Peter Pan Now Adventures” - Wed and Thurs
DESCRIPTION:In “Peter Pan Now Adventures\,” students pick a character from Gorton Drama Studio’s original play\, “Peter Pan Now” and help develop\, write and shoot original short films. If a student was in the production of “Peter Pan Now\,” she can play her original role or choose a new role.

SUMMARY:“Peter Pan Now Adventures” - Thurs
DESCRIPTION:In “Peter Pan Now Adventures\,” students pick a character from Gorton Drama Studio’s original play\, “Peter Pan Now” and help develop\, write and shoot original short films. If a student was in the production of “Peter Pan Now\,” she can play her original role or choose a new role. Students do not have to have been in the production of “Peter Pan Now” in order to be in the class and all students will work on multiple films and get the opportunity to portray multiple characters. \nFor example\, an actor who portrayed a lost kid in our play can try portraying Peter Pan. Or an actor who portrayed a pirate in our play can play a lost kid. An example of a short film we can develop\, write and shoot is: Tootles leads the lost kids to Mermaid Lagoon to retrieve a shark tooth that one of the mermaids stole from him. \nGuided by experienced instructors\, students master fundamental acting techniques such as hitting marks\, voice projection\, and character development\, while also delving into more nuanced aspects of performance\, like authentic relationships and believable behavior. Veterans and first timers are welcome in this class that provides a supportive space to grow\, learn\, and most importantly\, have fun. Join us at Gorton Drama Studio and unlock the magic of storytelling on screen. \nAges 9 – 14 Years  \nThursdays 4:30 – 6:30 \nMarch 21 – May 16 \nNo class March 28 \n8 classes- $400 \nAbout Our Artistic Director:\n \nJeremy Kruse\, Artistic Director of Gorton Drama Studio is the author of “The Young Actor’s Handbook” (Applause Acting Series\, 2017).The book was published in Korean and Chinese in 2022.

SUMMARY:Drawing & Painting for Teens with Joalida Smit
DESCRIPTION:These sessions will guide your teen to find their unique voice and individual style. Bring your own ideas or work on a contemporary portrait from materials in my studio. We will explore different mediums\, techniques and genres  in a fun supportive environment\, where your budding artist can develop and grow at their own pace. Ages 12 – 17 \n*Your child may be asked to leave if they do not comply with the rules of the art room. \nWhy take an art class?\n \nTeens can benefit from taking an art class for a variety of reasons. It supports cognitive and emotional development. In particular\, it facilitates executive functioning through planning and organising ideas and solving problems as they emerge during the process.  It is a stress-release and can be therapeutic\,providing a unique way for teens to communicate thoughts\, emotions\, and ideas that might be difficult to express through words alone. It builds self-esteem\, facilitates personal growth and social-emotional development as budding artists develop their skills in the presence of others. \nRegardless of their career aspirations\, engaging in artistic activities within a class environment can contribute to a teen’s overall personal development and well-being. \nPhoto credit of Joalida: James Gustin
