Welcome from the Dean
UCLA Arts Camp 2009 is once again offering the finest training for the next generation of talented young artists. This is the only School of Theater, Film and Television (TFT) summer youth program that is taught by our own faculty and professionals from the entertainment community. The uniqueness of our workshops lies in the structure in which the participant is fully immersed in their experience. We consistently strive to find ways to enhance our offerings; our two week Theater and three week Musical Theater Conservatory and College Audition Workshops are demonstrated proof. And we continue to offer college credit for all participants, which adds another dimension to professional education in the arts.
The UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television (TFT) has an international reputation for offering the finest in professional training to its students; and the UCLA Arts Camp/Workshops, in association with US Performing Arts, maintains that tradition. All offerings are taught by members of the UCLA faculty who are also working professionals in their respective fields. The quality of our summer workshop program is enhanced by the exceptional relationship that TFT has developed with the international and local entertainment industries.
The success of the summer camps matters a great deal to TFT for many reasons: It enables the School to reach out beyond the boundaries of the University to the broader community; it is consistent with our mission of educating the next generation of artists in the performing and media arts; and for the administrators and faculty of the workshops, it is a gratifying experience to have such an exchange with so many dynamic young people.
We invite you to join the UCLA family by participating this summer in one or more of our exciting programs.
