The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts has opened enrollment for winter GRoW @ The Wallis winter virtual courses.

The Wallis offers two courses for adults ages 55 and older through the program to stimulate creativity, connect to others and tell their personal stories. Courses are held virtually through Zoom.

“Staged Stories” teaches participants how to write and share stories through journaling and creative writing.

One class is taught by Debra Pasquerette from 10 a.m. to noon every Thursday from Jan. 20 through March 31. Another is taught by Victoria Kemsley from 2-4 p.m. every Thursday from Jan. 20 through March 31.

“Beyond Words” will teach students how to share stories from their lives using various forms of artistic expression, including the written word, collage, photography and music. Pasquerette teaches from 10 a.m. to noon every Wednesday from Jan. 26 through April 6. Kemsley teaches from 2-4 p.m. every Wednesday from Jan. 26 through April 6.

No prior artistic experience is necessary for either course and both will culminate in a final virtual presentation.

The registration fee is $75, though scholarships are available. Enrollment is limited.
