2010-2011 SPCPA J-Term
What is J-Term? For 13 days in January each year academic classes go on hiatus
and students are immersed in rehearsals for an arts performance project. These
rehearsals generally culminate with one or two performances. J-Term replicates the
professional experience and engages students in the artistic energy of various
rehearsal and performance venues under the direction of SPCPA faculty and/or guest
professional artists. J-Term is a part of SPCPA training. It is required as part of the
school year and earns a full credit for successful participation. Grades are Pass/No
Credit. Again, there are no academic classes during J-Term.
When is J-Term? J-Term begins on January 11 and all performances will be
completed by January 30. REHEARSALS TAKE PLACE WITHIN THE USUAL
SCHOOL DAY (8AM-4PM) BUT MAY BE ANYWHERE FROM 4-8 HOURS LONG
DEPENDING ON THE PROJECT. Some projects have a rehearsal schedule
requiring students to participate as they are needed or “as called.” These “as called”
rehearsal schedules will be distributed to families at some point after students have
been cast. Students may attend a rehearsal for their project even if they are not
called. Students who wish to remain on-campus during J-Term must either be in
their rehearsal or in the Commons on the 5th floor of the Landmark.
How are students placed? During arts classes on Monday, October 11, students
will complete a J-Term preference sign-up sheet in class and immediately turn it in.
Students who don’t attend the class on Monday should complete and return a signup sheet at the front desk at the Landmark, Lowry or Wilkins before the end of the
day, Tuesday, October 12. Students must choose four projects and rank them in
order of preference—1 indicating first choice and so on. Students who don’t turn in
a sign-up sheet by Tuesday will be placed at faculty discretion. PARENTS ARE
ENCOURAGED TO DISCUSS J-TERM CHOICES WITH THEIR STUDENTS AND
COLLABORATE IN THE SELECTION PROCESS. PLEASE NOTE WHERE AND
WHEN EACH J-TERM PROJECT TAKES PLACE WHEN MAKING CHOICES. All
project rehearsals and performances are either on-campus or in a venue on an MTC
bus line.
Audition Placements for dance, theatre, and music theatre options will be held on
Tuesday, October 19, in three of the Wilkins Studios. All students auditioning for
dance, theatre and music theatre options will attend placements during both of their
arts classes on that day. Students will be placed in instrumental music J-Term
offerings based on student preferences and faculty discretion. Some audition
placements may also take place within students’ regular arts classes during the week
of October 19-22.
Students will receive J-Term placement notifications at the end of the day on
Friday, November 5. Every effort will be made to place students in one of their four
choices.
Independent Study is an option for up to 20 students based on merit and faculty
review. J-Term Independent Study Forms will be available in Mr. Goranson’s office
on the 5th floor of the Landmark Center, beginning October 4. All students must still
audition for a project should the Independent Study request not be approved.

reputation for creating “clear, brilliant storytelling,” dances that “recall Fred and Ginger at
their most playful” and “magic out of just about nothing.” Transforming the stage and

Guest direction and choreography by Sossy Mechanics (Megan McClellan and Brian
Sostek)
Rehearses and performs at the Lab Theater in Minneapolis on a double bill with The
Land of Polished Stones.
The Land of Polished Stones
The Land of Polished Stones is an epic tale of life and death — an earthy, dramatic, poetic
work with a comic edge. This original, ensemble created evening of dance-theater will be
highly physical and imagistic, requiring full bodied movement from all cast members actors and dancers. Performers should come to rehearsal ready to move, vocalize,
experiment and invent. Our process and final piece will be based in “Total Theater”: the idea
that all elements of performance (movement, visuals, music, text) are equally important and
should be conceived and developed simultaneously. The Land of Polished Stones has
principal roles for both experienced dancers and actors as well as up to three or more
instrumentalists who are able to compose or improvise. Vocalists are welcome, but
must be willing to move. In preparation for J-term, 2-3 casting and development workshops
will be held fall semester. Please contact Jon Ferguson ([email protected]) or Sarah
Jacobs ([email protected]) with questions. For dancers, actors and musicians.

Piano in the Round
Piano duets reflect the crucial collaborative quality of appearing to think with one brain. As four
synchronized hands move in response to a single artistic impulse, we listen to just one artist in service
of the music. The final production will be held at the beautiful Landmark Center, Room 317. Join Dr.
Max Radloff for the elegant and exciting evening of Piano in the Round.
Rehearses at the Lowry, Performs at the Landmark Center
Project Director: SPCPA’s Max Radloff

Departure Point
Creating New Music with Zeitgeist
Departure Point is a composition/performance workshop for music students interested in
exploring new and traditional ways of creating new work. Students will meet with Zeitgeist
members for 4 hours each day at Zeitgeist’s performance space, Studio Z. Our activities
will focus on the composition and rehearsal of two large works created by students in
collaboration with the members of Zeitgeist. We will create these new works in a unique
way. Students will select two themes to serve as a framework for a large composition made
up of smaller compositions (Paintings by Picasso, Dante’s The Divine Comedy, Silent Movie
Stars, etc). Students will be split evenly between the two themes, and each student will be
responsible for creating one element of our large work. These works can be completely
composed, or they can contain degrees of improvisation. They can require the entire group’s
performance participation, or they can be written for any subset of the group. Throughout
the process, Zeitgeist and guest composers/improvisers from our community will perform
works for the students in order to enhance and inspire the creative process. In the end, we
will have two works that contain the creative contribution of each student, created under a
framework developed by everyone, and rehearsed and performed collaboratively by students
and Zeitgeist.
Zeitgeist is a new music chamber group of two percussionists, woodwinds, and piano
based in the Twin Cities. As the only full-time chamber ensemble in the Twin Cities wholly
dedicated to the performance of new music, Zeitgeist is a unique cultural resource for
audiences in our community. They present a concert series, maintain a performance space
(Studio Z) and carry out a variety of audience enrichment programs for members of our
community. You can learn more about Zeitgeist at www.zeitgeistnewmusic.org.

Thingamajig
With a focus on visual storytelling, students will work collaboratively to create an
imaginative world filled with endless possibilities. Combining image-driven forms such as
(but not limited to) puppetry, projections, and objects with live actors, students will use
everyday materials and objects to help tell an original story of their choosing. This project is
great for students who are looking to explore puppetry as a theatrical tool, who have an
interest in the visual arts and making things, and who are interested in creating original
work.
Guest Director: Kyle Loven
Kyle Loven is currently a Seattle-based artist, but has deep roots in the Twin Cities. His
image-driven work combines puppetry, projections, objects, and other art forms with live
actors. In addition to his original creations, Kyle has worked most extensively with Michael

Carousel
Rodgers and Hammerstein's immortal Carousel was named by Time Magazine in 1999 as
the single greatest musical of the 20th century. "If I Loved You," "Soliloquy" and "You'll
Never Walk Alone" are just a few of the songs that helped reinvent musical theatre in its day
with its lush score and seamless integration of song, story, and dance. Set in a small New
England town, the story of an impulsive, brash carnival barker and his bride spans heaven
and earth in its exploration of love, human frailty, and redemption. This concertized version
will rehearse at the University of Minnesota, SPCPA, and will perform at the O’Shaughnessy
Auditorium at St. Kate’s.

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
Six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to
escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't
necessarily make you a loser. THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE is a
charming and funny tale of overachievers' angst chronicling the experience of six adolescent
outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. The show's Tony Award winning
creative team has created the unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of heroes: a
quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they
can stand out and fit in at the same time. For actors, singers, musicians.

Into the Woods
Book by James Lapine
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
An ambivalent Cinderella? A blood-thirsty Little Red Ridinghood? A Prince Charming with a
roving eye? A Witch...who raps? They're all among the cockeyed characters in James Lapine
and Stephen Sondheim's fractured fairy tale. When a Baker and his Wife learn they've been
cursed with childlessness by the Witch next door, they embark on a quest for the special
objects required to break the spell, swindling, lying to and stealing from Cinderella, Little
Red, Rapunzel and Jack (the one who climbed the beanstalk). What begins as a lively
irreverent fantasy in the style of The Princess Bride becomes a moving lesson about
community responsibility and the stories we tell our children.
Students must come to first rehearsal off-book and ‘off-song.’ Some pre-J-term
rehearsals will be required. Rehearses and performs at the Illusion Theater in
Minneapolis

The Arabian Nights
By Mary Zimmerman
A play that Chicago Magazine recently called, “A feast for the eyes and ears,” and the New
York Times hailed as a “celebration of the salutary powers of storytelling,” The Arabian
Nights is based on the Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night. The play ties ancient
Baghdad into the current Middle East. In the story, the King marries Scheherezade, who
begins sharing with him tales of love, comedy, and dreams. Her cliffhanger stories prevent
her husband, the cruel ruler Shahryar, from murdering her, and after 1,001 nights,
Shahryar is cured of his madness, and Scheherezade returns to her family. This adaptation
offers a wonderful blend of the lesser-known tales from Arabian Nights with the recurring
theme of how the magic of storytelling holds the power to change people. The final scene
brings the audience back to a modern day Baghdad with the wail of air raid sirens
threatening the rich culture and history that are embodied by these tales.
This production will likely use 3-4 instrumentalists.
The Arabian Nights Guest Director: Jason Ballweber
Jason Ballweber received a BA in Theater from the University of Minnesota. While there he
started working with Four Humors Theater and is now the Artistic Director. Jason has also
performed with companies such as Theatre de la Jeune Lune, Three Sticks, Open Eye

Some students will be required to come to first rehearsal off-book.
As You Like It
By William Shakespeare
One of Shakespeare’s most enjoyable comedies, As You Like It has achieved immortality if
for nothing else than for being the play to contain the timeless refrain:
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts.
It is a wonderful lark of a play, a delightful combination of equal parts sweet romance,
pastoral whimsy, and downright hilarity. It is a play suitable for all ages, and one that
leaves audience members grinning long after the epilogue.
Rehearses at Park Square Theatre in St. Paul
Performs at the History Theatre in St. Paul
