Join us in Center City Philadelphia, one of the nation’s largest theater destinations, for four weeks of immersive study. You’ll choose one of three tracks: Acting; Musical Theater; or Directing, Playwriting and Production. Modeled after the renowned UArts college experience, this program trains artists looking for individualized and hybrid opportunities to write, direct, design and produce, in addition to being on stage.

THE PROCESS Through a rigorous college-level curriculum, you’ll develop skills in crafting character and scene work, grasp the potential of your voice as an instrument, and develop a vibrant stage presence.

You’ll also explore track-specific courses that address your individual needs and other course options that span a wide range of theatrical disciplines.

THE PERKS Receive training from our distinguished faculty and participate in master classes with award-winning theater artists. Our faculty are currently working on Broadway, off Broadway, in film/TV and in major regional theaters. Trips to Philadelphia theaters and a day trip to New York City to attend a Broadway production enhance your experience.

THE PROOF Leave with audition-ready materials and preparation, detailed feedback from your instructors, and three college credits.

The program closes with a final sharing for friends, family and peers. Rising seniors have the opportunity to audition for fall 2021 undergraduate admission to UArts.

WORKSHOPS Choose one of the following.

B & W Photo: Street & Darkroom Develop your own photographs and explore camera control and essential photographic ideas. You’ll put these ideas to use on walking trips to local Philadelphia parks, markets and galleries, where you’ll transform the conventional into the exceptional and hone your distinct perspective of the world around you. A 35mm camera is needed.

Clay & Glass Learn the basics of constructing objects in clay and glass, from techniques and materials to composition and execution.

You will focus on handbuilding techniques in clay while designing and creating functional vessels. In the glass portion of the course, you will create complementary pieces through flameworking, kilnworking and coldworking.

Comics & Characters Looking to create the perfect hero—or antihero—for the story you want to tell?

Work from your imagination to develop and design original characters. Use a variety of traditional and digital media to work through a series of thumbnail sketches that evolve into highly rendered images suitable for various applications, like animation, cartoons, comic books, graphic novels and illustrations.

Fashion & Fibers You’ll focus on basic sewing skills, dyeing techniques and innovative pattern-making processes. Working backward from an existing garment you love, you’ll examine and manipulate its pattern to reimagine the original piece and design your own one-of-a-kind garment.

Game Design In this workshop, you’ll explore the principles that inform how video games work, what makes them fun, and how they can help us understand our world and social interactions. Learn to construct logical storylines and rules in an imagined space, and utilize interface design, programming tools and aesthetics to bring your original game concept to life.

Jewelry & Metals Design and construct original metal jewelry in this studio-based course and gain hands-on knowledge of metalsmithing techniques in the process.

Piercing, soldering, riveting, stone setting and finishing are all explored using silver, bronze and copper. Produce smallscale metal works and learn valuable techniques for jewelry-making.

Studio Art: Painting & Drawing Sharpen your observational, color and spatial understanding as you work from still-life setups and figure models.

Learn fundamental drawing and painting techniques, such as composition, contour, light and shadow, surface preparation, color mixing, and paint application. Working in classical media such as pencil, charcoal, ink and oil paint, you’ll develop work suitable for inclusion in a portfolio. Nude figure models will be used in this course.

31

The Scene: Life On Campus Spend your summer in one of the coolest cities in the U.S. Anchored on the vibrant Avenue of the Arts, our campus is located in the cultural district of Center City—the heart of downtown Philadelphia.

During your summer at UArts, you’ll be immersed in creating and growing artistically. But creativity doesn’t stop when classes end.

Between impromptu jam sessions and open studios, you’ll find yourself creating something new with a classmate from around the globe or exploring one of Philly’s world-class museums, theaters or concert halls—all a short walk from campus—with teachers and friends.

PARENTS & GUARDIANS: WHAT TO EXPECT Due to the intensive nature of our Pre-College program, students must be fully academically engaged, self-motivated and have a level of independence. Students are in classes Monday through Friday, with workshops, open studios, activities each evening and optional off-campus field trips on Saturdays. Free time is provided for lunch, between classes, before curfew and on weekends.

Please consider whether this level of independence is a good fit for your student.
