Teacher Biography

Kurt Jolly (he/him/his) is a gay Chicago-based writer, director, performer, and interactive artist. He has a diverse experience in many artistic avenues: teaching art education, performing on the stage, behind the writing desk, and behind the camera. Like his name, he looks to find the joy and happiness in the world while also acknowledging its darkness. He looks to write/direct and perform in pieces that are inclusive stories with well rounded characters- not ones geared to the unfortunate stereotypes and tropes of marginalized communities often not seen in the best light of past entertainment.

He has a Masters in Education and Leadership, and has studied at The Second City Chicago. One of his comedic pilot screenplays was selected as a semi-finalist in the Teen Movie Contest from Powederkeg (Paul Fieg) and ColorCreative (Issa Rae/Deniese Davis), and his short film “GlitterLand” (with a mostly LGBTQIA and/or female identifying cast/crew) was accepted into various film festivals.
Zoom Class

Classes will be held via Zoom. Instructors will send out Zoom invites one day before class begins. We encourage students to set up a Zoom account for themselves before class if they have not already to ensure when class begins you are able to jump straight into the art!
