Hi Parents!
This is counselor Sara and coordinator Tim, writing to tell you about the amazing day we just spent with arts-X-press! After our usual daily activities of Creative Expression and Arts workshops, we ventured to the Plummer Auditorium to see Shrek the Musical. It was a roaring comedy based off of the popular Dreamworks movie, which had us all in heaps of laughter. After the musical we had the unique opportunity to talk to the cast and ask them questions about the production of the musical and the weeks of practice which went into it.
The day only got better from there! Once we had traveled back to Vanguard and filled the grumbling middle school bellies, we rotated through spotlight workshops to give each arts-x-presser an opportunity to experience the magic of vocal, theater and dance. From creating human machines to learning how to sing a round, we were able to sample multiple art forms and gain a better understanding of the passion and dedication which goes into everyones artistic expressions. The spotlight workshops were a great segway into the evenings bonding activity, where we took time to appreciate people in our home life as well as at arts-X-press. The day's activities really helped us grow closer as a group and learn that as artists we are connected through the spirit of the arts no matter what our practice is. We saw so many students taking creative risks today and it makes us eager to see what is in store for the days to come!
Can't wait for tomorrow's adventures and the excitement they will bring!
Super Counselor Sara and Terrific Coordinator Tim
