Blumenthal Performing Arts (BPA) is a non-profit organization that operates six theaters on three campuses in uptown Charlotte. Our mission is to present the best in the performing arts and in partnership with others, share and employ the arts as a major catalyst to strengthen education, build community cohesiveness and advance economic growth.
BPA’s Education Department strives to enhance relationships with community organizations, schools, and individuals throughout the Central Carolinas. Through a variety of educational and enrichment programs, we seek to bring the performing arts to a diverse population within our extended community. Several of these initiatives include: increasing arts access and education throughout the region through weekday matinees for school groups, supporting and celebrating our area performing arts educators with professional development and discount tickets through the Arts Educator Network, and diving into meaningful conversations with Community Cues.
We would love to connect with you. If you would like more information about our BPA Education programs, please e-mail EducationDepartment@blumenthalarts.org.

Come get immersed in the spirit of creativity, as a visual artist directs a dancer to use her body as her paint brush. Every turn of the body, footstep, and hip sway drives the development of the colorful and dynamic 16′ x 12′ performance painting. Through key phrases and creative triggers, a unique visual story unfolds connecting the painter, the dancer, and the audience. The artist also paints with large format tools: a mop, squeegee, broom, and even a leaf blower. Experience the painting’s creation live and from multiple points – from the painter’s perspective, bird’s eye view, and stage view – and you might be lucky enough to direct the dancer, too!
