J-Term
For the first three weeks of January each year, J-Term replaces a student’s regularly scheduled academic and arts classes. Students are immersed in daily rehearsals for an arts performance project. J-Term is considered a “how to rehearse” class, giving all students an opportunity to be in a formal rehearsal process. Rehearsals culminate with one or more workshop-style performances for family and peers. J-Term endeavors to replicate the professional experience, introduce students to professional venues and artists, and engages students in the artistic energy of rehearsals/performances under the direction of SPCPA faculty and/or guest professional artists. J-Term is an important part of our training.
J-Term is curricular and required as part of SPCPA’s regular academic year. Students earn a full credit for successful participation; grades are Pass or Fail. Students are required to attend daily rehearsals and performances; participation is not optional. The school’s attendance policies do apply to J-Term, but on a condensed scale: two (2) unexcused absences during J-Term puts a student in jeopardy of not passing J-Term. Parents/Guardians are still responsible for reporting attendance matters (Attendance Hotline: 651-222-3200, press 1 to skip ahead to the beep).
J-Term performances and exhibitions are almost upon us! Be sure to check out the project, FORM THE BAND, WRITE THE SONGS, DO THE GIG, guided by local professional, Jenny Case!

J-Term performances, readings, and exhibitions begin next weekend! Here are some rehearsal images from SPCPA's collaboration with Interact Center for Visual and Performing Arts. The interdisciplinary project, Dancing on the Edge of a Volcano, will feature the work of SPCPA visual art, theatre, music, and creative writing students alongside Interact artists.
"This groundbreaking production will be a passionate act of poetic rebellion as Cubism, Dada, Surrealism, Bauhaus, and jazz combine in an explosion of unbridled creativity to create a work that will lift your spirits and break your hearts."
It's shaping up to be a production you will not want to miss.
