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.

Week 1 Day 1

Hello from the Arts-x-Press team! We wrapped up our first day today with a trip to the Strawberry bowl to see the Tempest by Shakespeare Orange County.
 Before our excursion, Linda lead a few of the staff members in a reading of some of the lines from the play, to get the campers familiar with the language:

Here's a picture from the pre-show where some of the actors gave us a taste of the nautical theme of the play:



The campers were also assigned to their arts workshop groups, as well as to their creative expression classes today. We had a fun-packed day and are looking forward to even more arts-x-press fun for the coming days!
