The Z’s Creative Classroom offers performing arts classes to learners of all ages and abilities in a variety of mediums. It’s a safe and inviting space for all to explore their curiosity and interest in the arts. To lead these classes, we’ve selected the top teachers, performers, and artists in the Southcoast. Not only do they leverage their talent and experience to bring out the best in each student, these local artists are also employed for work in their craft.
The arts are a powerful tool that deepens our connection to the world and can reveal new ways to see it. That’s why we aim to make Creative Classroom as accessible as possible with a “pay what you can” model. Choose a price at check-out and it will cover the cost of the entire workshop or multi-week course.

Great films move us on many different levels. They fully engage us, open pathways of empathy and excitement that may not have been known, pull at our deepest emotions, enchant us with wonderment, spike our adrenaline, and maybe, if we’re lucky, leave us just a little bit changed…
Join film professor, and Z film curator, MJ Herrup every other Wednesday in October and November to discuss the film basics – from what makes a great shot to the subtleties of sound design – and dive even deeper into the history, reception, and critical analyses of each film. It’s Film Appreciation 101, but just the fun part, without the grades or pressure. For cinephiles and newbies alike.

Ukulele Instructor
Deb picked up her first ukulele and instantly fell in love with this small but mighty instrument. Her passion for the ukulele led her to become one of the few New England teachers certified by the prestigious James Hill Ukulele Instructor Institute. A lifelong music lover, she also directs a ukulele band and has studied with musicians both local and international.
Dance Instructor
Sue Young’s passion for dance started at just 6 years old when her mom signed her up for dance classes, laying the groundwork for a lifelong love of dance. She has studied under a diversified group of instructors and is experienced in ballet, jazz, tap, Irish Step, Latin, swing and ballroom. After recuperating from open heart surgery in 2012, she returned to teaching and became The Z’s Salsa instructor in 2016. But Sue doesn’t just stay in the classroom, she’s also a Zeiterion Volunteer Usher!
