CPVA Annual Report - 2004-05

Annual Report - Executive Summary 2004-05 _______________ Planning: Goals and Objectives and Assessment Reports Substantial progress was made in fulfilling plans developed for the CPVA and each of its departments or affiliated areas. However, this is just the beginning of a 3-year process of building enrollments, strengthening the degree programs, increasing recruitment of quality arts majors, raising the visibility of the accomplishments of the arts faculty, staff, and departments on campus, and developing the resources needed to support all these activities.

See Sections 4 for details of department assessment plans in 2004-05.

See Sections 5 and 6 for the Dean, and CPVA and department strategic planning documents.

See Section 9 for detailed event marketing plan for CPVA for the coming year.

Academic Programs The overall CPVA Headcount of majors was up to 426 in the fall of 2004 which represents an 11% increase above the same time in 2003. However, total SCH production for CPVA was down by 6.8% from the previous year. We continue to feel the negatives effects of the change in the Fine Arts GE requirement that took effect in the fall of 2002. SCH production for CPVA has dropped 25% while at the same time the number of majors has increased! Strategies to build SCH in Fine Arts GE classes remain a high priority.

Art & Design • • •

A new degree program that will grant a BFA in Art was approved in June and will be implemented beginning fall of 2005.

New course fees were approved for Art & Design which should better support the class room activities of our classes.

New Art 1050 Photography course (GE fine arts) was added to department and will begin in the fall of 2005.

CPVA Events Marketing Plan for 2005-06 I.

ORGANIZATION MISSION AND GOALS The educational mission of the College of Performing and Visual Arts (CPVA) is to acquaint SUU students with the fine and performing arts in general, and to specifically educate and train students to develop careers and a life-long involvement in the arts.

A. MAJOR GOALS 1. Make the arts visible and accessible, exciting and innovative, and an integral part of the intellectual and cultural life of Southern Utah University and the surrounding communities.

2. Increase the campus and community’s positive perception of our contribution to the quality of life of this area through our programming.

3. Develop a clear and consistent marketing and PR message about who we are, what we do, and why we do it.

4. Create learning opportunities for students involved with the marketing and PR for the CPVA as well as build student awareness about the importance of effective community relations and the arts.

B. MAJOR OBJECTIVES 1. Develop and sustain an ongoing marketing and PR operation coordinated by the CPVA Dean’s Office.

2. Work with arts departments to develop an integrated marketing and PR plan and operation within the CPVA in support of their mission related programming.

3. Increase attendance at all arts events on campus.

4. Expand on the existing Perspectives Series to include all three departments and the Braithwaite Gallery.

5. Create quality brochures, flyers, programs, newsletters, and other related documents that are attractive and are cost effective.

6. Create and support a website that promotes the arts on campus and serves as an aid to the public seeking up to the minute information about SUU arts events.

7. Increase website interaction by regularly web-casting CPVA events and by seeking input from our audiences through online surveys.

8. Integrate the marketing and PR activities of CPVA with the MFA Arts Administration Program’s educational goals and where possible include opportunities for undergraduates to gain experience in the area through writing and graphic design.

9. Develop a staffing plan for the CPVA and the departments related to marketing, PR, alumni relations and fund-raising. Stress creating jobs for students that will help them financially and will expand their skills.

10. Assess cost-to-benefit of all CPVA marketing activities and adjust and adapt as needed.

DRAFT 4 II. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS A. Marketplace 1. Problems a) Limited research information about potential audiences on campus (faculty, staff and students) and in the area b) Market saturation issues – There are many arts producers in our area already providing a substantial supply of arts product to a small community. c) It is difficult securing the attention of the SUU student body about arts events on campus and then converting them to regular attendees given the competing demands of student life. d) There is a small market base – population of 36,310 in Iron County. A basic assumption is that no more than 3% to 5% of the population qualifies as regular arts consumers or roughly 1089 to 1,815 people. These folks have the income and/or discretionary time to attend arts events on a regular basis. e) Potential arts audience in St George is larger simply based on population but willingness to drive 45 to 60 minutes to college arts events is limited.

Special events or well-known speakers or performers may draw them to campus or they might come because they may know someone who is in a show or who is presenting a concert or who is exhibiting (a relative, a son, a daughter, grandchildren, and the like). f) This is a relatively conservative community that does not respond positively to programming that may contain adult language or situations.

If we borrow the film industry rating system the programming equivalent of R, PG13 or event PG rated performing arts events can be problematic.

Art, music and dance seem to have had fewer controversial events in the eyes of the local community and the SUU administration in the recent past. However, in the recent past, the theatre department generated negative reactions to programming that by most standards for educational units in colleges and universities in America would not be particularly controversial. g) There are very limited advertising, printing and postage budgets for event promotion and the habit of working together to market their events is not established behavior among the arts departments and the gallery. h) The campus venues do not lend themselves to supporting student performance work very well nor are they very accessible. Parking at the Randall Jones and Auditorium is adequate but Thorley and the Braithwaite are hard to find unless you already know where they are.

Thorley is too small for large music ensembles, and the theatre auditorium facilities are actually bigger than needed for student productions. The “black box” space is very difficult to work in and has a poor excuse for a HVAC system that drowns out the performer’s voices.

2. Opportunities a) The quality of product offered is generally good. However sometimes we don’t know how good it is going to be until very close to the actual event date. (Yes, sometimes the final product isn’t very good. Hence the marketing should not try to oversell what the audience may see.) b) Many events are free or are very low cost.

SECTION 9 - CPVA Events Marketing Plan 05-06 ver 4

2

DRAFT 4 c) Wide array of offerings (lots of variety of music, art, dance, theatre and related presentations to offer to the various public tastes). d) We can also do work that is less mainstream and be proud of it. It is an opportunity to be able to do more adventuresome programming from time to time. e) Cedar City seems very committed to sponsoring and promoting the arts and arts festivals as part of their strategic direction. We should try to capitalize on that fact and that our campus is home to the well regarded Utah Shakespearean Festival. f) The lack of well designed and executed marketing plans by the CPVA in the recent past means potential to gain attention and audience share is possible. Think of this as the “No where to go but up” marketing scenario.

Anecdotally there seems to be a low level of awareness of all the events we sponsor on campus each year while at the same time everyone seems to think we have great arts departments on campus. (NOTE: However, this reputation is not backed up by significant faculty and staff attendance at arts department events. In fact, the attendance of the art faculty at each others events seems limited. For example, about 15% of the total faculty and staff elect to take advantage of the tickets offered to them to the theatre and dance season. Music events seem to attract a very small number of faculty and staff.)

g) There appears to be a willingness on the part of the departments to designate specific events that appeal to the family oriented composition of the area. h) More adventuresome programming should be possible if it is carefully targeted to the students and some segments of the faculty, staff and community. i) There is a good opportunity to connect to alumni in the region and this seems an untapped market. j) We have the technology to send out electronic notices and newsletters to those members of the community who use the internet. This could also help us keep costs down. k) The USF audience database is a resource for further research on the SW Utah area (e.g. use analysis of the customers they do have). The Festival offers at a minimum access to an audience interested in theatre, at the very least. l) The option seems to exist of staging cooperative events with the Orchestra of Southern Utah and other groups in the area. Many of our faculty have strong ties to these groups.

B. Our Potential Market 1. SUU Students - Fall 2004 • Full time students 4540 or 68% of total – There are far fewer full time than most people realize.

• Part-time students 2114 or 32% of total – Who are these part-timers? Are they traditionally aged college students or are these non-traditional students? How many of them are online only and never set foot on campus?

• By classes: Freshmen = 1835 Sophomores = 851 Juniors = 948 Seniors = 1432 Graduate = 178

2. Cedar City Demographics (Cedar City Chamber of Commerce 2004) Population 21,535 Growth Rate 3.7% Median Age 26.17 Students (K-12) 7,176 3. Iron County Demographics 2000 Census Population – (2000) 33,779 Population 18+ 23,232 Median household income $33,114 (See Endnotes for definitions) Median family income $37,171 Per capita income $13,568 – overall lower than imagined a) Average Monthly Non-farm wages – (2002) $1,749 or only $20,988 annually. b) Average cost of two-bedroom home in 2004 was $156,202 and rents for a two-bedroom apartment averaged $500 to $750 per month.

Washington County 2000 Census Data Population 90,354 Population 18 + 62,164 Population 65 + 15,343 Median household income $37,212 Median family income $41,845 Per capita income $15, 873 Note: Education levels Washington County (2000 census): Bachelor’s degree or higher, percent of people over 25 = 21% or 10,868 Comments: - The data indicates over 7000 children in K-12 in Cedar City. Seems like a natural for CPVA to be doing programming that would attract families or educational outreach projects.

- Median household, family and per capita income levels are below US averages by several thousands of dollars in both Iron and Washington Counties. The income numbers for Iron County are lower in all three categories. Our low cost and free events are an advantage.

- Iron County seems to be rather divided when it comes to income. The Median vs Per Capita seems to indicate a significant income gap.

- Many local businesses pay minimum wage which may be why the Per Capita income is as low as it is - Education levels (BA degree or higher) are only slightly below national averages.

DRAFT 4 - Census data maps show limited concentrations of the higher income households with significant portions of both counties at fairly low median and per capita incomes (See Endnotes) C. Product - Professional and Student Level Work by Departments 1. Art & Design a) The department regularly brings in guest speakers to the Art Major Seminar with significant professional experience and excellent credentials. Artists have been local, regional and national. This event has the potential to better connect with the campus and community.

These typically take place every week on Thursday evenings and are free. This programming is being targeted to Perspectives Series by selecting artists to appeal to the public and the Friends of Braithwaite. b) Student exhibitions range from high school students to current graduating seniors. Skill levels of students vary, but for the most part are good. Student gallery space (ARTichoke Lounge and around campus) offers shows of varying quality levels. c) There is no department programming in the summer months (May to August). Some classes are offered in summer sessions. d) There are occasional art sales of student work and the ceramics guild sells work several times a year. These sales are not well-promoted, however. e) Work of the students in art classes is displayed at the Centrum classroom building which provides some visibility for the important process work being done. f) There are many students in the teaching track who will become secondary art teachers. Art teachers seem like a natural mailing list subcategory we should be tracking. There were 133 majors in 04-05. g) There appears to have been no coordinated marketing and PR efforts by the department in the past.

2. Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery (See the Braithwaite Planning document for details of the marketing and developmental plans for the Gallery) a) Braithwaite Gallery is the other main public access point to art at SUU. Professional touring exhibits are offered once or twice a year and the annual SUU Faculty show is of a very high caliber. The gallery is beginning to operate year-round again. Admission is free. Donations are accepted at exhibits. Works also may be for sale which generates some revenue for the gallery. b) The Gallery remains closely connected to the curricular goals of the department of Art & Design but the relationship needs developing. c) The gallery support group, The Friends of the Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery number around 100. This group runs an annual membership drive and holds an art auction each March. The potential exists to expand this support group with better coordination with the overall marketing effort of the College. d) Budget cutbacks have undone years of progress that made the gallery a presence in this community. School visits and other community outreach activities have been severely curtailed in recent years. Starting up these tour visits plus establishing a docents program could help put the Gallery back in people’s minds.

SECTION 9 - CPVA Events Marketing Plan 05-06 ver 4

DRAFT 4 3. Music a) Over 100 concerts of all types are offered each academic year b) The focus of the concert presentations is on the student and their development as a vocalist or instrumental player. The goal is of course to present high quality work, but the objective is to develop the skill and talent of our students. While the performances are often less polished, the process and progression of the students should be the marketing message. c) Most events are free. Concerts that do charge admission are priced at around $3 for students and $5 for the public. There is a very informal sales system in place and the development of a paying patrons list has not been a priority. d) Many of the music majors are planning to go into teaching music in secondary education. Again, an obvious choice of a group we should be tracking and keeping in communication with. e) There are several performance ensembles (instrumental and vocal) under the direction of a talented and qualified faculty. Ensembles often include faculty performing with the students. Again, the overall quality of the ensembles is a function of the skill levels of the students. f) Opera productions and scenes programs are presented each year. Joint musical theatre productions are staged in cooperation with the Theatre Arts & Dance Department. The music department provides personnel for the theatre pit orchestras as well as providing vocal and musical direction. g) Occasional guest artists are brought in for master classes and residencies h) There is limited touring of faculty or student work, although a few trips have been scheduled over the years as special projects to well known concert venues. i) There are a large number of free student recitals of varying quality.

Senior and Junior recitals showcase student work but are usually not marketed widely. These events are important to the students and the families and from the perspective of building life-long positive alumni relations. It would be wise to promote them more heavily in campus and music alumni in the area. j) The potential exists to organize professional faculty ensembles which could help raise the visibility of the department to the community and the state. k) There has been limited marketing and PR support in music in the past.

The faculty were often left to their own devices to promote their own events. The new marketing organization support through the dean’s office should aid the department greatly. l) There is no summer programming and no summer classes offered. m) There were about 103 majors in 04-05.

4. Theatre & Dance a) Usually produces a season of six main stage productions each academic year – Shows are scheduled in the Auditorium or Randall Jones Theatre. Occasionally theatre productions are staged on the Auditorium Theatre stage. Of the three departments theatre and dance is the only one with a history of developing a marketing and PR plan.

SECTION 9 - CPVA Events Marketing Plan 05-06 ver 4

6

DRAFT 4 b) Four theatre productions are regularly scheduled and the season usually includes a musical or opera co-produced with the Music Department. c) Two dance concerts are usually scheduled – Fall concert features student works and spring concert focuses on faculty choreographed works. Faculty often perform in the concerts. d) Prices are low: $3 students, $6 SUU faculty and staff and $10 for the community. e) Occasional guest artists in dance set pieces on students or are in residence for an extended period for master classes. f) Theatre occasionally has guest artists and hires USF staff to assist with classes or directing projects. g) There is a long-standing High School Shakespeare competition that brings a significant number of students to campus for in and outside of Utah. The relationship between this event and active recruiting by the department is not entirely clear. The event schedule is prescribed by USF, and the SUU Theatre Arts students and faculty are actively engaged in the three to four day event. h) There are active student production groups (e.g. Stage II) that mounts smaller budget shows in the black box space or are engaged in dance events in the community. i) Overall the level of work is good. Not all shows are as good as others, which is to be expected. Again, as in the music department, the emphasis is on process more than product. The goal is high quality, but the development of the students is the ultimate objective. The work is designed to do more than entertain audiences. j) There is also strong teacher education component to theatre and dance.

Again, a natural group to keep in touch with. k) There were about 133 Theatre majors and 59 dance majors in 04-05.

III. Marketing Objectives – Brainstorming Ideas 1. Develop a sustainable audience maintenance system for each of the CPVA departments. Each department and the gallery has been trying to sustain a relationship with the audience, however, lack of human and financial resources has made that difficult. Use the resources of the Dean’s Office and the MFA Arts Administration program to establish the infrastructure needed to accomplish this objective. Eventually staffing will have to be addressed. A college like CPVA is all about contact with the public and to not have to full time marketing and PR staff member is a serve handicap.

2. Clearly identify target markets in our area and develop our education and entertainment message to reach those market segments (e.g. students, faculty, staff, community members, newcomers). Who do we really want to come to our shows? Some events may have programming content that would actually be detrimental to our building an audience, but might be perfect for students and majors in the area.

3. Reassess the pricing structure of ticketed events and make it clearer to the campus and community. Consider new offers and price concepts. We have three price tiers: Students, Faculty/Staff and General Public. However, not all the departments are pricing their events along this pattern. Suggested price breaks should be as follows:

SECTION 9 - CPVA Events Marketing Plan 05-06 ver 4

7

DRAFT 4 - Major Theatre/Dance/Opera events would $10 public, $6 fac/staff and $3 students/children (full-scale productions such as mainstage theatre and dance events) - Music Concerts by large ensembles would be $8 public, $5 fac/staff and $2 students/children (SUU Wind Orchestra, SUU Symphony Orchestra, Concert Choir, Opus) - Smaller ensembles or student productions in theatre would be $6 public, $4 fac/staff and $2 students/children, Free to SUU students (Stage II and other Capstone or Senior Thesis Projects, Jazz, Percussion, Wind and Brass Ensembles) - Small groups or soloists and all student recitals would be free - Perspectives Series would be free - Braithwaite is free but should always have a Donations Accepted jar in plain view as you enter the gallery 4. Expand our audience base by focusing our message and marketing materials to the distinctive segments we are trying to reach: students, faculty, staff and community members. Yes, you’ll hopefully be entertained, but what will you learn from coming to this show? That’s why some program notes or dramaturgy activity is critical to our doing a better job of educating and developing our audiences. The public coming to the shows and concerts aren’t necessarily steeped in art, theatre, music or dance history and literature. Why and how, for example, does this exhibit or that concert expand a person’s knowledge of the world or increase their appreciation of the art form? We need to recognize our event programs are a critical link to having better informed and more appreciative audiences.

5. Develop tracking systems to better measure the success level of our marketing objectives. Any tracking systems we develop need to be simple and easy to implement. Using simple surveys in program asking how the person heard about the show or event and what they thought of it would be a simple first step to gathering information. Developing focus groups, especially among students, is critical to better communicating with our audience. This sort of activity could also provide valuable experience for the MFA Arts Administration students. If you consider everything we do is in a sense a laboratory experiment then you can’t help but see the process of building and sustaining an arts audience for university arts products is a fine learning environment for all our students. Every undergraduate performer needs to understand they are part of the arts and culture industry in America.

IV. Sales Programs – Brainstorming Ideas A. Establish Arts SUU arts membership through an Arts season pass.

1. Make it easy and simple for our potential customers to become members of the CPVA arts audience. Consider selling season vouchers or memberships that can be renewed for theatre, dance or music events. For example: •

• •

Offer a $10 membership in the “Arts SUU” season pass that gives a member discounted access to our ticketed events. With the membership the general public patron (not students or SUU Faculty or staff) would get $2.00 off their regular $10 ticket.

Develop a student membership category that is free with the nominal charge at the door for ticketed events.

Consider an “Arts SUU Family Pass” for $20 that allows four or more people in a family to get a special discounted price on ticketed events. Again, knock $2.00 off the $10 general public price.

SECTION 9 - CPVA Events Marketing Plan 05-06 ver 4

DRAFT 4 •

Continue offering tickets to faculty and staff through the plan we now have but also send them an “Arts SUU” membership pass. Can this be expanded to include designated music events? Also, why not make this into a bigger deal or make the effort to make it more personalized?

Marketing memberships in the Friends of the Braithwaite

• 2. Group Sales to local schools – Theatre and dance already has a group sales to schools program going. Continue this and build on it. What about developing specific group sales programs with the schools targeted to selected music events? What about getting back in the business of bringing school trips to the Braithwaite?

3. SUU Student group sales – What about establishing block selling of tickets to our own students? For example, why not have “Majors Night”? Consider that any event we do might have appeal to students through the classes they take.

Why not consider special group activity that may either get them extra credit in a class or is linked in some way to what they are studying? For example, a show may have literature connections to English majors, or the context of the show in a time period might connect with History majors, or maybe there are issues in the play relating to Psychology, Sociology or Philosophy. Some shows even have Science connections due to the content of the play.

4. What about a “College Night?” If nothing else, we could try to offer students in a SUU College a group discount and again link it to some pre or post show talk about the content of the production that relates to the major fields in the College. Would require some coordination with the other Deans and the department chairs.

5. Newcomers – Collect info on newcomers to Iron County and send letters along with brochure inviting them to our season of events B. Establish New Perspectives Series 1. Re-package existing theatre and dance perspective series with an expanded series that includes at least 3 to 4 Thursday evening Art Major Seminar speakers per semester and/or gallery openings and at least two music events each semester. Integrate the whole package into a new free lecture series called Perspectives on the Arts.

2. Integrate this series into the campus by featuring guest speakers from the various academic departments plus occasional outside speakers when appropriate and when budget to fund it exists.

3. Hand out $2.00 off coupons to our other $10 ticketed events to any general public (not faculty and staff) who come to the series.

C. Season Sales and Ongoing Communication Campaigns 1. Write text, design and layout and mail a season flyer to existing mailing lists for CPVA and Braithwaite Gallery as well as Iron County and nearby counties • • • • • •

11 x17 (2 color) (folds up to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2) Layout with order form Create subsections for each department’s major events Design so the look carries over into the calendar/newsletter Print run - 5000 Mailing – bulk rate and send out late August, prepare over summer

2. Publish SUU Arts Newsletter three times a year – This is our main ongoing communication piece designed to point people to the SUU arts website for the latest information. This fine arts calendar and newsletter

would go out in Fall: Oct/Nov/Dec; Winter; Jan/Feb, Spring; Mar/April/May. Continue using layout from this year as part of our branding and image-building. If people give us their email addresses, send the newsletter out electronically.

Re-start the Braithwaite’s Friends newsletter and distribute to gallery mailing list of 2000 +. Again, electronic version would be created too.

Create and print 5,000 CPVA season bookmarks and insert in Iron County mailing to households. Keep it simple with a few highlights of key events and direct them to website and arts hotline number 8658800.

Poster/flyer/program cover – integrated design look picked up from season mailer – keep posters within 11x17 format so we can keep cost down through color or B/W copy jobs - 65 to 75 for campus and community distribution. Flyers need to be smaller versions of poster and poster designed should be program covers where appropriate.

Event reminder flyers – 8-1/2 x 11 copy jobs for key ticketed events and gallery openings sent out to all SUU faculty and staff and mailing list generated in Dean’s Office from previous campaigns.

As email lists expand send out E-minders to folks on our mailing list to cut costs.

Postcards – Send out postcards connected to Braithwaite gallery openings of 5 or 6 exhibits per year – 2000 + each time Keep SUU Arts webpage updated on weekly basis as is being done this year Keep new art hotline phone up to date 435-865-8800 and be sure to include the website and phone on all published materials and event programs Keep SUU Arts & Entertainment Web Calendar up-to-date and filled with detailed information about our upcoming events Set up a promotional table at the Sharwan Smith Center to promote our events – try for coverage every weekday from 11:30am to 1:30pm. Make this a student job out of the Dean’s Office student payroll.

Get a sidewalk chalking routine going for our major events.

Look to having standing displays at the SUU and Cedar City Library.

The display would be focused on readings relating to what we are doing.

For example, if the SUU orchestra is doing a concert with a Mozart piece on the program (or any other well known composer) have a display of book titles from the collections relating to Mozart, his time and or music in general. Ditto for Theatre or Dance.

Continue working with Renee Ballenger and Dean O’Driscoll at SUU to promote our events through their media contacts and radio shows.

Be a presence at public events : - Welcome Fest downtown in the Fall - Any functions related to student activities at the Sharwan Smith Center - Cedar City Arts Festival held at USF in Oct - Buy a sponsorship banner to appear at athletic events or at the very least, hand out flyers at games taking place when we have shows or exhibits running - And other related community events….

DRAFT 4 V. Strategy A. Message Guidelines 1. Assume we are using language in our communication pieces that stress we are offer “works in process” not slick final products. It is all about watching our students grow and develop.

2. We are trying to establish an ongoing communication relationship with our target audiences. We want to: - Increase Awareness – We need to get the word to our campus and community that we are doing over 170 events during the academic year and that what we are doing will enrich their lives as well as help us develop the talent and skills of our students. In large part this is about our trying to find low or no cost ways to get information about what we are doing out in the community. The campus is a community unto itself, but judging by the low attendance of SUU faculty and staff at most CPVA events we still have a way to go to get better participation rates among our own.

- Increase Knowledge – We need to make it clear who we are, what we do and why we do it. We don’t have to apologize for being a university arts organization. We need to make it clear our mission is education first and entertainment second. We need to package this information in a way to promote price (which is often free), our rich diversity of offerings, and the fact that our patrons are supporting students – the talent of tomorrow. We need to stress the notion they can witness the growth and development of our students and they can be an active part in this process because performing and visual artists need feedback from audiences. We need to give the potential audience knowledge they can use.

When we do get them to our event we need to do our best to increase their knowledge about what they are seeing. We can’t assume everyone understands our process. Why not take a few lines in the program to describe what went into getting this concert or production ready for performance?

- Create Informed Expectations – Based on what we say in our brochure and other publications a purchase decision should be based on an understanding of what they are getting. We cannot oversell what we do because we do not know if the event is going to be the best thing since sliced bread. If people come to see our events expecting more than we deliver it will lead to an erosion of confidence in our marketing message. Descriptions of the potential program content and what the experience may be like if you come to the event is critical. Unless you already know what a piece of music sounds like, for example, simply listing the composer on a poster is actually sending a message that can come off as arrogant.

The panel of adjudicators evaluated over fifty works of choreography through a blind review process, unaware of the institution presenting or if it has been created by a faculty member, guest choreographer, graduate or undergraduate student. Dances were selected for their exemplary artistic quality in both choreography and performance and culminated with the presentation of ten pieces in the “Gala Concert” held April 9th.

Of the ten works of choreography selected, five were choreographed by undergraduate students.

This is especially remarkable because it is the second year in a row that choreography by an undergraduate student from SUU has been selected by the Southwest Regional American College Dance Festival Association. “Seven for Dinner” choreographed by Michele Brown was selected for the “Gala Concert” in 2004.

Annual Report & Recap of 2004-05 ________________________ This has been another extraordinary year in the College of Performing and Visual Arts marked by a number of outstanding activities in the classrooms, on our stages and in our exhibition spaces. Our faculty, staff, and students were engaged in a busy schedule of classes, concerts, recitals, exhibitions, presentations and conferences that challenged them and enlightened and entertained our audiences.

From September and May over the CPVA sponsor over 170 evenings of events which were attended by over 7000 people (See Section 1 pages 10 to 20, Arts and Entertainment calendar). Over 5000 people attended our five exhibits at the Braithwaite Gallery this year. From our opening meetings with our majors in late August to our commencement in May more activities than I have space to mention took place every week in CPVA. The overall quality of these shows, concerts, and exhibitions continue to belie the often modest resources available to produce them.

Other major projects this year included developing detailed planning documents (See Sections 4 through 9), and an in-depth analysis of the negative impact on our enrollments by reducing the Fine Arts GE credits from 6 to 3 beginning fall 2002 (See Section 1 pages 7, 7A and 7B). In addition to developing a coordinated marketing and PR plan for CPVA (See Sections 9 and 10), we competed the redesign of the website for the college (See Section 1 pages 8 and 9).

Next year promises to be even more exciting for our students, faculty and staff. We have several new classes in our curriculum, a whole new series of performances to present, a new Perspectives on the Arts Series, exciting guest artists in art, music, theatre and dance, a new event marketing plan for the music and theatre and dance department, and a very diverse range of exhibits in the Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery.

Three Eccles Artists/Scholars Visit CPVA in Spring Thanks to the generous support of the Eccles Foundation we were able to bring in three distinguished artists in the spring semester to work with our students.

Art and Design hosted Bruce Dehnert, a well known and very talented potter. He held workshops for the ceramics students and made a presentation at the Art Major Seminar.

The SUU Honor Band, made up of high school students from the Southwest, was led by our own James Smart and visiting artist Timothy Reynish. Mr. Reynish, retired from the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester, U.K., conducts band workshops, and clinics around the world.

Lastly, the Theatre and Dance department hosted guest choreographer Joe Alegado, a solo dancer for the Jose Limon Dance Company as well as a teacher at the Jose Limon Institute in New York City. His two week residency included master classes for our upper division modern dance students and an informal lecture/discussion about the dance scene in Europe and what students should expect and how to prepare for the possibility of dancing in Europe.

Art and Design This year there were two significant milestones in the department. First, the department name change from Art to Art and Design was approved in the late fall. This name more accurately describes the current scope of curriculum in the department. In addition, changes in the state-wide course numbering system led to the Art and Design Department taking on the responsibility for teaching a photography class starting in the fall of 2005. Arlene Braithwaite worked with other faculty members to offer a new course in the Maymester that took advantage of the art and science of the Southern Utah environment. Last, but certainly not least, the department revised and realigned its curriculum in preparation for offering the BFA (Bachelor in Fine Arts) in Art starting in the fall of 2005. This will be the first BFA degree offered in CPVA. By the end of June the process of securing the authorizations for establishing the BFA in Art on the SUU campus was approved by the Board of Regents.

The graphic design program continued to grow and develop this year. Plans are in the final stages of development to remodel space in the Centrum which will result in a new digital photo laboratory, an art slide library space, and offices for the faculty.

Our largest graduating class in CPVA this spring was in the Art and Design Department. Twentythree students crossed the stage of the Randall Jones Theatre this spring. Graduating senior Joseph VanCamp was recognized as the Outstanding Student by the department. Joe’s presentation to the Commencement audience, a tradition in CPVA, demonstrated why the faculty felt this talented student should be recognized.

Two last minute personnel changes offered some unexpected challenges for the department over the summer. Henry Brimmer, who had been instrumental in developing the graphic design program, took a faculty position in Illinois. Lydia Johnson, director of the Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery and an instructor in art, decided not to accept the offer to renew her contract. Searches for replacements for both positions were nearing completion at the end of July.

Last, but not least, the faculty and students continued to make a big impression at and outside of SUU. (Please see Section 2 for the faculty and staff notes and Section 3 for current students and alumni updates.)

Music The big news in the Music Department this year was a change in leadership. Dr. Bart Shanklin ended his 15 years of service at SUU with a move to Western Illinois University, where he will assume the post as Director of the Music School. Carol Ann Modesitt was selected to serve as Chair of the Music Department. Carol Ann and the faculty completed a search for a voice faculty member to replace Bart. Larry Johnson, who has an extensive background in signing and teaching in the choral and opera areas will be joining us at the beginning of the semester.

The Music Department had another banner year of concerts, recitals, and special workshops in the choral and band areas as well the instrumental areas. The instrumental faculty members were active performing their own recitals and were key contributors to the Orchestra of Southern Utah’s performance series, which was under the direction of our own Xun Sun. Dr. Grace St. Pierre started a new choral group, the SUU Women’s Ensemble. Dr. Virginia Stitt and Dr. George Stoffan conducted a Woodwind Day in the spring for high school students. Dr. Bart Shanklin along with Assoc. Professor Carol Ann Modesitt and Assistant Professor Grace St. Pierre Page 3

coordinated the High School Choral Festival hosted on the SUU campus every spring. Assistant Professor James Smart coordinated the Honor Band activities and led the SUU Wind Orchestra and Band in several fine concerts this year. Dr. Patrick Roulet took the music to the students this year with two well received SUU Jazz Ensemble performances in the Sharwan Smith Center.

Dr. Roulet will be offering a new class entitled “Popular Music in America” and new chair Carol Ann Modesitt has been working with the faculty this summer to reassess teaching assignments for the coming year. An exciting new group of students has been recruited to replace our 17 music graduates this spring. At this year’s CPVA Commencement Carylee Foremaster was recognized as the Outstanding Student in music by the faculty.

Theatre & Dance One of the major projects undertaken by the Theatre and Dance Department, in addition to presenting a very successful season of shows, was developing the documentation required to support the accrediting process for the dance area. The National Association of Schools of Dance (NASD) is the accrediting body that reviews and grants membership to those schools and departments that meet their rigorous standards. Shauna Mendini, Chair of the Theatre and Dance Department, spent a significant part of the year working with the dance faculty developing the selfstudy required as part of the process. An onsite visit by two members of the accrediting team took place in early March. The department is awaiting a report as a follow-up to the visit. Chris Lusk, Associate Chair of Theatre, continued working closely with the faculty on revising and consolidating the theatre curriculum.

The Theatre and Dance department participated as a co-sponsor of very successful Shakespeare Competition last fall with the Utah Shakespearean Festival. In early October the Theatre and Dance faculty, staff, and students were involved in judging, coordinating, and supporting a very intensive three days of high energy high school student competitions. Over 1200 students from Utah and the surrounding states participated in the competition under the watchful eye of the energetic Michael Don Bahr.

The season of four main stage theatre productions (See How They Run, The Dairy of Ann Frank. Wait Until Dark and Oliver!) and the two dance concerts (Fall student choreographed work and the spring faculty choreographed work) provide a much need boost in attendance and revenue to the department. Several morning school performances were scheduled this year proved to be very successful. Student theatre productions produced by Stage II, Masque Club and various senior projects added a depth and breadth to the season.

Next year, in February 2006, SUU, CPVA and the Theatre and Dance Department will host the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF) on campus. Over 1000 students and faculty from a five-state district (Utah, Arizona, California, Hawaii, and Nevada) will be participating in production competitions and workshops. The participating schools had their productions selected as a representation of some of the outstanding work going on in college theatre in the Western States. The winners of this regional competition will go on to perform at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC in April of 2006.

This year Theatre graduated 17 students and Dance 6. Harmony Jenkins-Preece (Dance) and Katie Wecker (Theatre) were recognized as the Outstanding Students in Theatre & Dance by the faculty.

MFA Arts Administration Matt Neves, Assistant Professor and the new Director of the MFA Program, successfully recruited an incoming class of six new graduate students for this coming fall. Next year we will have eleven students enrolled in the program, which is nearing the enrollment goal we have of twelve.

Matt and Dean Bill Byrnes put the finishing touches on a proposal to establish a one-year Certificate Program in Arts Administration. The certificate program is intended to help career professionals gain more management training and to offer international students an opportunity to learn how the Arts are managed in America. Assuming the program proposal is approved, we should be able to offer a 30 credit certificate beginning in the fall of 2006.

Dean Bill Byrnes will be teaching two classes in the MFA program next year in the areas of developing and working with boards of directors and fundraising in the arts. Bill also was a guest lecturer this summer in Freiburg, Germany at the ISW, a culture management training institute.

Several other changes have been made in the MFA program for the coming year. A new administrative structure is being developed to better integrate the MFA students into the operation of CPVA, USF and the Braithwaite. The students will be able to take maximum advantage of the many opportunities offered by our departments in the college and its affiliates as they learn about the theory and practice of arts leadership and management.

Last, but not least, Matt Neves has developed a new rotation of the course offerings in the MFA program that will in effect double the SCH production of the program.

Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery Lydia Johnson, Director of the Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery, and Bill Byrnes, Dean of CPVA set a new course for renewal and development this year. A new vision and mission statement was created, a new Advisory Committee was established composed of SUU faculty, a student representative and members of the Friends of the Braithwaite Gallery, and the operating budget was redesigned to maximize the operations. The Braithwaite Gallery is operated as a true public and private partnership on our campus. Without the generous support of the Friends of the Braithwaite, Utah Arts Council grants and SUU the gallery would not be able to present such exciting exhibits.

The Annual Art Auction sponsored by the Friends of the Braithwaite, held at Rusty’s in early March, was a rousing success. Over $10,000 was raised after expenses and a good time was had by all. Part of these funds will be used to bring the Goya exhibit to the SUU campus in the fall of 2006. Plans are also underway for a future exhibit of the works of Remington and a very dynamic panoramic photo exhibition of Petroglyphs in Utah.

2004-2005 Exhibition Schedule Over 5000 people attended the exhibits at the Braithwaite through the end of July 2005.

October - November - Paper Cuts, the Art of Contemporary Paper December-January - Rural High School Fine Arts Competition February - March - Annual SUU Faculty Exhibit April - May - SUU Senior Portfolio Exhibition June - September - All the Stage is a World - Creation Stories from the Utah Shakespearean Festival The Friends of the Braithwaite will be seeking new members for the 2005-06 year.

Sadly, Lydia tendered her resignation at the end of June after successfully curated the joint CPVA/USF exhibit All the World’s a Stage. A search is underway for a replacement this summer.

During Lydia’s tenure the gallery space went through a major renovation and the introduction of course work in the area of gallery practices and curating was introduced.

Utah Shakespearean Festival 2005 The CPVA and USF partnership continued to grow and evolve this year. Three of the four plays in the Theatre and Dance season were directed by USF staff. Numerous classes were offered in theatre and dance by adjunct faculty hired from the festival and 39 of our SUU students are working at USF this summer. USF and the CPVA are continuing to work together to develop plans for the future that will not only enhance the festival goers experience, but will enrich the experiences of our students, faculty, and staff.

The 44th season of the Utah Shakespearean is off and running. Rehearsals for the six play summer series started May 9th and the preview performances begin June 23rd. The festival continues to bring its distinctive stamp to a very diverse season that features Dr. Faustus, a masterpiece first performed in the 16th century, all the way up to Stones in His Pockets, a work first performed in 2000. Don’t miss any of these fine shows this summer and be sure to reserve your seats today for the entire season of USF plays.

Each year our affiliation with USF pays off big time for SUU students. Here’s a list of names provided by USF of 39 students hired this summer to work at the Festival.
