Arts-X-press is a summer arts immersion program for 7th and 8th grade students created by the Pacific Symphony in celebration of Cole Carsan St.Clair. 150 students are nominated by teachers throughout Orange County to come together for 5 days of creative exploration each summer. The program has two goals: 1) To expose students to all 5 performing and visual arts; and 2) To foster respect for and interest in each student’s individuality, talents, interests, and background.

Excursion Spotlight: National Choreographers Initiative

The 6th annual National Choreographers Initiative began this rehearsal this week. For three weeks, teams of choreographers and professional dancers will engage in an intensive creative effort to produce new dance works which will culminate in a public showing of NCI Discovery at Irvine Barclay Theatre. arts-X-press students in week 1 will attend the performance.

Under the direction of Molly Lynch, NCI provides an opportunity to engage outstanding choreographers from around the U.S. in the creative process. There is a need nationwide to have a workshop setting where choreographers can create works of their choosing and have time to experiment and develop their craft without the pressure or constraints of a commission. Through this project, NCI provides this opportunity and therefore supports these national choreographers, dancers, and the greater dance community. Each choreographer is given complete freedom to choose the style and theme of the work. For more information, visit www.nchoreographers.org.
