News Release from the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts, May 28, 2009

San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts (SCPA) is proud to announce the first ever Summer Intensive August 3-14, 2009,
featuring well known guest Master Artists

SAN DIEGO – A new pilot Summer Intensive Program will take place this summer August 3-14, 2009 at the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts (SCPA). This intensive two-week program is designed to give advancing high school students an opportunity to ensconce themselves in their chosen discipline. The program is designed after The Juilliard School's summer intensive and is funded through the 21st Century ASSET's grant. Required auditions are set for June 13, 2009.

Students will need to audition to be accepted into the program. Once accepted students will attend classes that are designed to challenge and further develop technique and theory. Classes will take place beginning August 3, at 9 a.m. Each student will be required to attend both the morning and afternoon sessions. Morning sessions will end at 12 noon and afternoon sessions will begin promptly at 12:30 p.m. and run till 3:30 p.m. SCPA faculty will teach morning sessions.

SCPA is thrilled to announce that the afternoon sessions will be led by guest Master Artists from San Diego and Los Angeles! Names include Sam Woodhouse, Artistic Director at San Diego Repertory Company, Pablo Francisco from The Limon Dance Company, Sandy McCree from HBO's The Wire, and Dr. Ella Steinberg, conductor for the San Diego Youth Symphony.

Students who are serious about their major, and committed to this kind of intensified training are encouraged to sign up for an audition. Auditions will held on Saturday, June 13, 2009 on the campus of SCPA. Please contact Artistic Director, Richard Trujillo, at 619/470-0555, ext. 21 2 to schedule an audition time.

Finally, this is a professional audition, which does take time. Class sizes are extremely limited for this pilot program! SCPA hopes that the success of this year's intensive will allow this district arts-based magnet school to expand the program next summer. As a result, please be advised that this will be a very competitive audition.
