Summer Academies in the Arts
Summer Academies in the Arts provide middle and high school students the opportunity to spend part of their summer absorbed in Art, Dance, Drama, and Music intensives. Courses are rigorous, with close, focused instruction in small classes. Students will prepare for auditions and college portfolios with the support of industry professionals who happen to be current or former Anteaters. All courses offer master classes with members of UC Irvine's stellar Claire Trevor School of the Arts faculty and the opportunity to learn tips for success in the arts. Courses are diverse with offerings including Digital Filmmaking, Computer Music Programming, Ballet/Jazz/Modern/Hip-Hop, and an Acting and Auditioning Intensive.
