“I wouldn't be this confident without the training I got from the NeuroKitchen. I look at the idea of being an artist in a whole new way.” - Noah Tomko-Jones (ASM student with 2 years of arts training with NeuroKitchen Arts)
The NeuroKitchen Theater Ensemble is dedicated to their students mastering the basics of acting, scene writing and guitar/ukulele playing. Artistic Director Ron Bieganski’s workshops are about understanding emotional flow, character and scene studies. Andrew Holowka’s music workshops are an introduction to Guitar/Ukulele and song writing.
Ron Bieganski has been a part of After School Matters since it began in 1991. Ron has been working with youth to develop the artist within them for 35 years at ASM, Free Street Theater, DePaul University, Columbia College, NYU, UNLV, at art centers throughout northern Europe, and with NeuroKitchen Arts Collective.
“Honing in on being comfortable with the uncomfortable has led me to so many life changing opportunities. I have applied everything I've learned at NeuroKitchen to all aspects of my young adult life. It has set me up for a life of successful artistic endeavors.” - Christine Meinders (ASM student with 4 years of arts training from NeuroKitchen Arts and now on scholarship at The Art Institute of Chicago).
