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.

Session 2 Excursions and Immersions!

Good Morning from Session 2! The students have arrived and we are busy getting to know each other and getting excited for what the week has in store! In addition to getting to create art of our own, we will be heading out to a few performances around Orange County to see some arts professionals at work! 

Tonight we will enjoy a production of A Chorus Line at The Chance Theater in Anaheim. We are thrilled to enjoy the amazing music, dancing, and acting that these performers will bring us this evening!






Tomorrow evening, we will head out to the Strawberry Bowl in Garden Grove for a unique new show called Sonnets, Songs and Sorry Will's Been Dead 400 Years! This is a Shakespearean Vaudeville and is sure to be a fantastic opportunity for our students. This will be a private performance for us where we will get to be up close and personal with the cast!









Finally on Monday, we will make our way down to Laguna Beach for Festival of the Arts and Pageant of the Masters. We will get a behind-the-scenes look at how the magic of the pageant happens as well as get to take part in some of the art activities at the festival. Then of course, we will take our seats and take in the beautiful artwork as it comes to life onstage! 






As you can see...MUCH fun is still to be had...but first? LUNCH TIME!
