Life-changing Arts Camp/Workshops return

The most professional, intensive and creative summer workshops for young people available anywhere are those offered each summer by the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television. The School’s world-famous UCLA Arts Camp/Workshops program enters its eighth season of offering life-altering educational experiences to people between the ages of 14 and 20.

An entirely supervised residential program in which young people live in UCLA domitories, the program attracts students from across the United States and from many foreign countries to unique workshops on such subjects as the College Audition process, Sitcom Writing/Producing, Sitcom Acting and Acting for the Camera. New workshops being introduced this year include Hip Hop Dance and Shakespeare and Classical Theater Performance. All are patterned after the professional and academic curriculum of their top-ranked parent institution and are held within the School’s classrooms, theaters, dance studios, soundstages, editing labs and television studios.

Many TFT faculty members teach workshops on the subjects that are their specialties during the School year. Professors included this year are film producer and director Myrl Schreibman, Alexander Technique acting teacher Jean-Louis Rodrigue, choreographer and dancer Nicholas Gunn and acting professor/actress April Shawhan.

Joining them are top flight professionals who have become mainstays of the Workshops, including actor and director Philip Charles MacKenzie, producer Maggie Murphy, actors Armin Shimmerman, Richard Green and Conchata Ferrell, theater and film director John Pasquin and television writer/producer Jordan Moffet.

In past seasons master classes have been taught by actors JoBeth Williams, Jeff Goldblum, Sally Struthers, Jon Cryer and Karen Morrow, and Final Cut Pro author Michael Wohl.

The UCLA Arts Camp/Workshops are produced in association with U.S. Performing Arts.
