Yesterday, SPCPA’s 11th and 12th grade dancers had the honor of working with renowned choreographer, dancer, and scholar Ananya Chatterjea.
Ananya’s groundbreaking work blends contemporary dance, social justice, and healing practice. She is the creator of Yorchhā, the signature movement language of Ananya Dance Theatre, and the architect of Shawngrām, a justice- and community-centered choreographic methodology. A Guggenheim Fellow and Professor of Dance at the University of Minnesota, her work has been performed and taught around the world.
We are deeply grateful for the inspiration, movement, and dialogue she shared with our dancers.

Guest artist Camila Leiva visited SPCPA last week! A muralist, painter, comic artist, and arpillera artist based in Minneapolis, she was born in Chile during the final years of Pinochet’s military dictatorship. Last week, Camila led an arpillera workshop with students.
Arpilleras are a form of textile art created by women as a form of resistance to Chile’s authoritarian regime. They also helped raise awareness outside Chile about los desaparecidos (“the disappeared”) — people who were kidnapped by the government and never seen again.
In the coming weeks, students will be creating their own arpillera-inspired narrative textile pieces.

Every actor has that nightmare: it is opening night, and you never learned your part. Worse, you don’t even know what show you’re performing! But an actor’s nightmare is an improviser’s dream come true.

We were thrilled to welcome Ten Thousand Things Theater to SPCPA’s Studio 2 on Tuesday to perform Two Gents by William Shakespeare! Our 11th and 12th graders in Theatre and Musical Theatre loved how the company made Shakespeare so engaging and accessible—thank you, TTT, for sharing your incredible work with our students!

My license is in theater and dance, but now I just substitute for any high school subject in the St Paul Public Schools. Do you ever need subs? Please message me if so!
