The morning started bright and early. No need to sleep in when the students can be out having fun!
The students woke up, took a trip to the artsMart where they had the opportunity to purchase sweatshirts, tshirts, water bottles, cameras, etc. From there, they had a small morning meeting with the Program Director, Darci, then headed up to breakfast.
After a quick meal, it was time for Creative Expression again. The students were getting busy on fun projects and socializing with their peers. They’ve all made friends so quickly! Then it was time for a short bathroom break before Arts Workshops. All the Arts Workshops are busy working on their presentations for the Parent Presentation on Tuesday. They all seem to be having fun and learning more about the arts!
A quick stop for lunch after Arts Workshops and then it was off to Orange County Performing Arts Center to see the American Ballet Theatre perform. It was the West Coast Premiere of a new ballet by Twyla Tharp with music by Danny Elfman. After the show we had the opportunity to talk with some of the dancers! What an amazing opportunity!
When we got back from our amazing performance, we went to dinner then went over to one of our first Spotlight Workshops. We had Leslie lead a special vocal spotlight workshop with all the students together. The students jumped right in and had a blast!
Then the students had some time to prepare their act for the talent show. With counselors there to help them, we have some amazing acts developing! We can’t wait to see what they will bring to the stage. Then we had bonding. A time for each student to share with the group someone at arts-X-press who they appreciate and someone at home they appreciate.

It was a long and busy day and tomorrow, we will be spending a lot of the day in Laguna! So it was definitely time for some 3 minute showers and then hop into bed to get a good nights sleep.
Until tomorrow, goodnight from arts-X-press!
