logs from tha Fresno State College Academy of Performing
Arts.
In the past, the academy presented art exhibitions and programs ln drama, dance and
music. This year, because of low
enrollment and money problems,
the academy will consist only of
several concerts, a dance program and a poetry reading.
The summer arts program was
Initiated over three years ago to
coordinate activities Inthe visual
and performing arts, giving students a chance to demonstrate
for the public what they had absorbed ln Instruction during the
year.
When the project first began,
lt blossomed with as many as
two or three presentations by the
drama department, seriea of
dance concerts, appearances by
well known, artists, student art
exhibitions and musical workshops and performances.
This year, the academy wtll
consist of several concerts -
chamber music, wind ensemble
and Jazz band, a dance program
featuring Libby Nye, star of the
Jose LI mon Company, and a reading by poet Adrlenne Rich.
The academy will lack all
drama presentations this year.
A spokesman for the drama
department explained tbe lack of
dramatic presentations on insufficient enrollments. Last year
only 15 students were enrolled ln
drama classes and thts was Insufficient to organize a f_U production.
Drama department faculty see
no chance ln the loss of dramatic
presentations offered by tbe
academy unless some sort of
scholarship ls offered as an incentive for students to enroll.
This summer James Jorgen-
son, director of bands at Red-
lands University, will return to
conduct performances by the wind
