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.
Excursions and Immersion Week 3!
Hello and happy week 3! Our session 3 arts-X-pressers are on their way to campus and we cannot WAIT to start exploring the arts with them. In addition to all of the awesome workshops and activities we have planned on campus, we will also be heading out to some amazing performances to see some professional artists at work! Here is what the week has in store!
Tonight we will get to see a live production of Parade at Chance Theater. Getting to experience this dark tale of wrongful prosecution and a portrayal of early 20th century social relationships in the South will be such a great time!
Tomorrow we will get to see Pacific Symphony's concert at Mike Ward community park in Irvine. Their Symphony in the Cities concerts are always so much fun with musical activities going on throughout the evening and a free concert under the stars! There's even a conducting clinic with Carl St.Clair for all the kids!
Then on Monday afternoon, we will venture down to Laguna Beach to try our hand at some artistic activities at Festival of the Arts and then stay for the Pageant of the Masters in the evening. This performance is so unlike anything else and we can't wait to see that artwork come to life!
As you can see we have LOTS planned and better get to it! Updates to follow :)
