Morgan Edwards, 2012 OSAI Counselor, is our guest blogger this week.




Students are getting settled into their daily routines here at the mountain. I have heard several instructors say working with the students gives them a refreshed outlook on their form of art. They explained that it is because the students are just so passionate.


That's what I love about OSAI -- students are so immersed in their discipline and so willing to accomplish everything that is planned for them. It creates an incredible atmosphere. 


We have several pictures that were taken yesterday from our wonderful staff photographer, Evan Beasley.



All OSAI students take an improvisation class.  Improv teaches students how to express themselves and helps OSAI students get to know each other better.


Here, film and video students work on their projects with their instructors in the Quartz Mountain Lobby. 


Modern Dancers in the Buffalo Pavilion working with their instructor Daniel Squire from New York. 




Drawing and Printmaking students listening to their instructor, Marwin Begaye. 






Last night, students got to see an incredible performance of "Strange Business" by the acting instructor, Paul Austin, who was joined by his wife, Rilla Askew. Afterwards, students participated in a Q and A with Paul.




Finally, students participated in a conducting lesson with the orchestra conductor, Jeffrey Grogan.








After the Artist Showcase and Presentation, students went back to their living areas for cabin meetings and then went off to bed. It is always a busy day for OSAI, and there are sure to be many more ahead!
