Perpich Center\, MDE\, and PELSB are preparing for future rulemaking regarding the teaching licensure standards in the arts—dance\, media arts\, music\, theater\, and visual arts. Reviewing these requirements for adequate reflection of the evolving needs of K-12 students\, schools\, and communities is an important undertaking. This process presents a great opportunity for input from the field\, and the results of this process will have an impact on the future of arts education in our state. Moving forward\, your input and involvement are crucial to ensure a successful outcome. \nThere are two info sessions available for dance and theater: \n\nTuesday\, September 23 from 4:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.\, or\nWednesday\, October 1 from 4:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.\n\n\n\nREGISTRATION HERE \n\nOther Details: \n\nWhat: We will share the steering committee recommendations and opportunities for participation and feedback. We will explain the steps taken so far and outline the next courses of action. There will also be time for asking clarifying questions. Each session is the same\, therefore participants only need to choose one session to attend.\nWho: This meeting is open to the public\, and is especially intended for those looking to learn more about potential changes to dance and theater licensing in Minnesota.\nWhere: This is a virtual meeting. A zoom link will be sent out before each session.\nQuestions? Email max.clark@pcae.k12.mn.us\n\nWe recognize the survey and meeting(s) are happening at a busy time of the school year\, so thank you in advance for your time and thoughtful responses.

SUMMARY:"WE COME FROM STARDUST: STORY\, SELF\, AND DANCE"
DESCRIPTION:Join Mary Harding\, Dance Education Specialist\, on Tuesdays in July as we are introduced to ViewPoints and movement prompts based on children’s literature! \nOn Tuesday\, July 22 we will emphasize ViewPoints\, a movement-based practice that uses six elements – space\, shape\, time\, emotion\, movement\, and story – to create and analyze performance\, focusing on the materiality of the body and the creative use of space. We will also explore multiple variations for movement prompts. \nOn Tuesday\, July 29 will explore a new iteration of a Name Dance\, a session called “We Come from Stardust – Story\, Self\, and Dance.” How many times have you taught a “Name Dance” to your students? How has it changed over time? My “Name Dance” has shifted\, depending on purpose and intention. This session demonstrates my most recent iteration with my high school students. \nUsing the children’s book\, “Where We Come From”\, written by four Minnesota authors\, including Diane Wilson\, we will explore creating dances based on self\, place\, family\, and memory. This children’s book proposes that “We come from stardust. We come from place\, language\, and spirit.” The session explores the creative process for this curriculum\, including writing and movement prompts based on the book and strategies for reflection and revision. \nWe will engage in reflective discussions on the shifts in our practice. This session will give us a chance to walk through one teacher’s experience and take the age old “Name Dance” into our current world. \nThe sessions will be tailored to the needs of the participants. Sign up for as many sessions as you want. These topics are deep and can be visited multiple times. \nIN-PERSON SESSIONS\nTuesday\, July 22- ViewPoints\nTuesday\, July 29- We Come from Stardust – Story\, Self\, and Dance \nREGISTRATION HERE \nTIME: 9:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. \nCOST: Free \nLOCATION:\nPerpich High School Dance Studio\n6125 Olson Memorial Hwy\nGolden Valley\, MN 55422 \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:DANCE PROGRAM PRESENTS "UNBEKNOWN PATHS"
DESCRIPTION:TICKET RESERVATION LINK \nUnbeknown Paths\n \nFrom all corners of the state\, the dancers of the Perpich Arts High School Dance Program are happy to present “Unbeknown Paths” on May 1 and 2\, 2025. The spring concert is the culmination of a semester of work. The dancers will demonstrate their creativity\, choreographic skills\, and performance expertise in student choreographed works\, faculty work\, and guest artist work. These dancers followed a path that somehow brought them together in the dance program at Perpich. While here\, they have leaned on\, learned from\, and grown with each other. Now\, the paths will diverge again into distinct\, beautiful paths. The works range in style\, musical choice\, and intention\, revealing the dancers’ individual accomplishments and their strong feeling of ensemble. The title\, ”Unbeknown Paths”\, refers to the feeling the students have about moving on different paths at the end of the year. The dances range from dynamic to fluid\, from formal to fun\, with a range of intensities.

SUMMARY:DANCE PROGRAM PRESENTS "UNBEKNOWN PATHS"
DESCRIPTION:TICKET RESERVATION LINK \nUnbeknown Paths\n \nFrom all corners of the state\, the dancers of the Perpich Arts High School Dance Program are happy to present “Unbeknown Paths” on May 1 and 2\, 2025. The spring concert is the culmination of a semester of work. The dancers will demonstrate their creativity\, choreographic skills\, and performance expertise in student choreographed works\, faculty work\, and guest artist work. These dancers followed a path that somehow brought them together in the dance program at Perpich. While here\, they have leaned on\, learned from\, and grown with each other. Now\, the paths will diverge again into distinct\, beautiful paths. The works range in style\, musical choice\, and intention\, revealing the dancers’ individual accomplishments and their strong feeling of ensemble. The title\, ”Unbeknown Paths”\, refers to the feeling the students have about moving on different paths at the end of the year. The dances range from dynamic to fluid\, from formal to fun\, with a range of intensities.
