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.

Fun with Theater

We had a great day yesterday here getting to know each other, learning Arts-x-press songs, and attending workshops. Last night we went to the Barclay theater in Irvine for the National Choreographer's Initiative! We enjoyed seeing original dances by four different choreographers. Today we have a theater spotlight workshop with the director of the production we'll see tonight: Shakespeare By the Sea's Love's Labours Lost.
