Career Day 2016
On May 20th, all of the sophomores and freshman went to shadow professionals in their desired field. I contacted many youth theater companies before finding success with Janie Russel of CYT (Christian Youth Theater) in San Diego. She directed me to Pacific Beach Middle School, where they were having an after school rehearsal for Hairspray Jr. I got to shadow one of the directors, Paul Stine.
This was my first career day, and I'm so happy with how it turned out! Everyone was so friendly and upbeat. I got to watch the cast learn their choreography and sing their songs. More than that though, I focused on the work of the directors. They would handle the equipment and set as well as the actors. They would take notes on their performances and give critique. These are skills that I can focus my energy on in the future. I would love to work with CYT again as an actor, director, or crew member! I did a reflection: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YVZmywShZ_LRYf6b6iF8LKQsr6BjNbzVKoTr9nYnlL4/edit |
