Description

This Fall, teacher Anna Philipsen will equip 7-9 year olds to be Show Ready! By the end of the term students will have the foundational training needed to prepare them for the CYT audition process as well as production rehearsals. The class will focus on auditioning skills, rehearsal etiquette, and the show preparation process. Costuming, basic makeup techniques, and props handling will be part of the training. Students will audition and be cast in the mini musical of Oliver where they will sing and dance to songs like "You've Got To Pick A Pocket Or Two" and "Consider Yourself." The class will work closely with the Show Ready Tweens class to prepare for Fall Showcase. CYT is encouraging 8 and 9 year olds students that are newer to the audition/rehearsal process to take this class, as well as 7 year olds that have taken a minimum of 1 year of Our Gang and are planning to audition in the near future. *Please note that 7 year olds can participate in this class as a preparation for productions. However, 7 year olds are not eligible to audition for a show unless they turn 8 before the end of the term they are auditioning for. *All students participating need jazz shoes*

Anna Philipsen

Anna grew up in Portland, Oregon and has been a musician from a young age. At 5 she began playing the violin and continues to play to this day. Throughout high school she performed in several choirs and orchestras, including the pit orchestras for all the musicals at her high school. Anna also took drama classes and was a member of the International Thespian Society. In college she continued to pursue music classes, took vocal lessons, performed improv violin with worship teams, and taught music lessons. Since then, she's continued to perform at events, with worship bands, and in community orchestras. In addition to a love for music, Anna has always had a passion for design. She received a BA in Art & Education from George Fox University. Over the years she has used her gifts in design for developing events, marketing, styling weddings, interior design, and most recently at CYT. Anna lives with her husband Josiah and their three boys, Landon, Dash, and Clay. All three boys are homeschooled and involved at CYT. Anna is continually thankful for how the program has blessed their family and how she can use her passion for design, music, and educating kids at CYT!
