Actors Workshop by Education Unlimited

Education Unlimited has operated academic and creative arts summer programs since 1993, serving more than 30,000 students across 30-plus summers. Its California Actors Workshop is a conservatory-style summer acting camp offered in separate Middle School and High School tracks at Stanford University and UCLA. The curriculum draws on Stanislavski's An Actor Prepares and covers building characters, playing objectives, and expressing emotion physically and vocally, along with courses that may include improvisation, voice, movement, script analysis, Shakespeare, and acting for the camera. Instructors teach acting at universities such as UC Berkeley and Stanford or have professional acting and directing experience, and guest artists lead master classes. Class sizes typically run 12 to 18 students at a 1:7 staff-to-student ratio. The administrative office is in Berkeley, California.

The California Actors Workshop is offered as separate Middle School and High School programs, held at Stanford University and UCLA. Education Unlimited also runs virtual sessions and overnight programs on campus where students stay in university dormitories.
