THE MISSION OF THE ARTS PROGRAM IS TO PREPARE STUDENTS FOR CONSERVATORY AND PROFESSIONAL LIFE AS AN ARTIST.
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.
Congrats to SPCPA 10th grade Visual Art student, CYRUS CARLSON, whose work has been selected to be featured on the cover of the national publication, Student kind literary journal! This issue will be released May 1.

Good luck seniors! Do as much as you can with your talents. Getting out there is hard sometimes, but you have an upper hand with your focus. Don't be afraid to make something on your own, and make connections!
Field Trip! Visual Art students in Individual Projects visited the Walker Art Center last week, where Walker Educators led students through two exhibitions: "Motion Capture" and Tetsuya Yamada's "Listening." Here students can be seen experiencing "Listening."

Playwright Alan Berks of Wonderlust Productions was on campus yesterday, conducting a story circle with 11th and 12th grade Theatre students. They are gathering material for an audio play that is part of a larger project happening all over downtown St. Paul this summer (via posted QR codes). There just might be some SPCPA material/references in the finished piece – stay tuned!

So exciting
Right before Spring Break, dance students had the opportunity to participate in a masterclass with TU Dance. The students learned an excerpt of their upcoming work THREAT. This masterclass was made possible by the Saint Paul Foundation and Bigelow Foundation. Thank you, TU Dance!

Courtesy of the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, SPCPA dance students had the privilege of participating in a masterclass with touring Argentine folk dance company, MALEVO. Created by director, choreographer, and dancer Matías Jaime, this all-male group specializes in Malambo and seeks to share the form beyond its limits with a modern approach. The students thoroughly enjoyed studying el zapateo (the footwork) and las boleadoras (the lassos) in this 60-minute workshop. Thank you Ordway and MALEVO!

Creative Writing students enjoyed a field trip to Anoka Ramsey Community College to meet award-winning author Edwidge Danticat. She shared words of wisdom and read from her most recent short story collection, EVERYTHING INSIDE. Before the reading our students participated in a writing exercise led by an ARCC professor.
