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.
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!
