NHTP Artist Residency

Since the Spring, NHTP Teaching Artist Drew DeSimone has been in residence at the Squamscott River Academy in North Hampton teaching Creative Drama and Screenwriting courses at the therapeutic high school. Students explored the art of acting and writing their own short film scripts. This summer he is teaching a Film Appreciation workshop as part of the Squamscott River Academy summer semester. Students are exploring and analyzing cinematography across all genres of film. NHTP artist Sara Conlon and NHTP Board Member Angel Simone are also working on the summer program.

“Drew brings an excitement to learning through drama, theater and film. His passion for the performing arts shines bright, capturing the students natural curiosity for learning. Students are engaged and curious! Despite the significant challenges that place students in our program, they are able to enjoy learning in his well-crafted lessons and content delivery.”  Nash Reddy, M.Ed.,Ed.S., Director of Academics - Squamscott River Academy
