SPARK theater + dance

We are so close!

Help us raise $2,000 to fulfill our commitment.

This project has been a success so far, and the last step is to complete SPARK’s portion of the project budget. Would you like to be a part of the success of this project? Donate today!

Recap:

SPARK was awarded a $15,000 Flexible Support Grant from MRAC for a Short Film and Community Workshop. Summer of 2023, we rehearsed and filmed a short, goofy film titled "I dream of pizza" as a celebration of physicality and playfulness with the goal of making people smile. We hosted the premiere and community workshop on March 1, 2024 at Plymouth Community Center. 

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
