education

We believe that arts education is a two-way conversation.

Whether we’re offering our flagship creativity course Art/Life Unlimited, a traditional acting class, or one of our unique learning experiences, RealTime’s practices are rooted in collaborative, cooperative generative methods; clear and kind communication; and mutual respect. RealTime Arts’ founders have over 15 years’ collective training and experience teaching performing arts to learners of all ages– from children to adults to seniors– and over 20 years' experience teaching at the high school and college level.

realtime arts learning experiences include:

skills-based classes in playwriting, acting, and directing, with a focus on working for and with communities
lecture-based classes on various topics, including community-engaged and devised theater
learning experiences centered on touring performances of our works about real people and real places
experiential workshops and courses for corporate teams and community groups

Art/Life Unlimited

Whether you haven’t made anything in years or you’ve just been stuck in “scroll mode,” Art/Life Unlimited is a dynamic course or workshop designed to help adults and seniors bring more creativity into their daily lives, in any area they wish-- from developing a steady art practice to making gorgeous Excel sheets to painting their bathroom to naming their Spotify playlists.

Through visits from professional artists, immersive exercises, and lively discussion, students see the world — and themselves— with fresh eyes.

This is not about being an artist (though students sometimes find out they are one!) It’s about waking up the senses, breaking out of passive consumption, and realizing we’re allowed to shape our world — one small act of creation at a time.
