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.
It was a full and joyful week in the Lehr Theatre as SPCPA students shared three different music showcases—Vocal & Symphonic, Musical Theatre, and Contemporary Instrumental.
Here are some images from the Contemporary Instrumental Showcase, offering a glimpse into one of many performances that took place this past week.

In Repertory class, SPCPA Dance students learn new works set on them by our artist-instructors. Yesterday, pieces choregraphed by Tumelo Khupe and Hassan Ingraham performed for other students and staff. It was an inspiring showcase of the creativity and dedication happening every day in our studios.

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.

At a downtown school you get to walk to field trips! Last week Theater and Musical Theatre students had the chance to walk a block to see Between Riverside and Crazy at Park Square Theatre. Next week, music students walk across the river to visit "Joyful Noise," the recording studio on a boat! And last Friday, pictured here, 9th and 10th grade Visual Art students and SPCPA co-chair Zamara Cuyun walked to the Minnesota Museum of American Art, guided on their tour by their Assistant Curator, Kylie Hoang. Thank you MMAA – they had a blast!

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/
