THE MISSION OF THE ARTS PROGRAM IS TO PREPARE STUDENTS FOR CONSERVATORY AND PROFESSIONAL LIFE AS ARTISTs.
SPCPA provides comprehensive training in Theatre, Musical Theatre, Dance, Music, Creative Writing, and Visual Arts. All arts classes are taught by current working professional artists and focus on technique, practice, study and the creation of original work. Through master classes and J-Term, students have the opportunity to engage with many artists and arts organizations in the Twin Cities and beyond.
The SPCPA Visual Art Dept. culminated their year with an exhibition this past week showcasing work from the Advanced Critique Seminar class. The showing highlighted the bold vision and deep thinking of the student artists. Visitors had the chance to engage directly with the artists, who spoke about their work with clarity, insight, and sophistication. Check out a sample of the work.

Just about every night in May at SPCPA there's a showing. Last night, contemporary instrumental ensembles and bands performed in the Lehr Theater – congrats to all, and especially to the seniors, whom you can see one final time in the Senior Showcase on Monday night @flying.v.music in Minneapolis!

It was amazing! What a talented group of students.
It's May, so that means it's showcase season! Congrats to the SPCPA music dept on a terrific concert last night in the Lehr Theater. The event focused on the vocal portion of the music program. Thursday night at 6PM will showcase the Instrumentalists.

SPCPA senior dancers take a bow! Last night's Senior Project Dance Concert at Park Square Theatre, featuring choreography by senior dance track students (performed by junior and senior dancers), was an inspiring culmination of years of dedication, creativity, and growth. Every piece reflected integrity, care, and heart. We are incredibly proud of these artists and wish them nothing but success as they step into the next chapter of their journeys.

What's more thrilling than hosting the latest Ten Thousand Things Theater production on campus? When SPCPA Musical Theatre teacher, Annika Isbell, plays Violet in the musical, VIOLET! An immediate standing ovation greeted the company at the end of this powerful and moving production, "a rollicking ride through love, resilience, and questions about what beauty really is in this tale full of country, gospel, blues, and honky-tonk rock music."
Check out one of their FREE public community performances – though free, reservations are required. More info: tenthousandthings.org/violet/

Sounds fabulous!
SPCPA Creative Writing students visited the Minneapolis Institute of Art yesterday on a field trip for an ekphrastic writing exercise! An ekphrastic writing exercise is one in which the writer responds creatively to a piece of visual art–like a painting, sculpture, photograph, or even a film still–through writing. The goal is to explore, interpret, or give voice to the image using words. This can take many forms, such as poetry, monologues, stories, letters, dialogues, etc. We hope the visit inspired all of you!
