The course is for those who have undergone some training or worked
tyre
professionally and who wish to supplement their skills by undergoing
an intense course of British conservatoire training in classics. As such,
it is based on a contemporary investigation into Shakespeare. In addition
it includes other elements: Jacobean and Restoration.
You will be trained in the same way and by the same faculty as students
on longer courses at LAMDA. It will be very exacting and exhausting.
A minimum of 35 hours of practical work (Monday-Friday) based on
the three central elements of our training: acting, movement, and voice.
Work is conducted in small groups. All classes are compulsory. It is a
typical British Conservatoire programme.
There will be opportunities to attend West End productions and experience
the variety that London theatre has to offer. There will be a visit to Stratford
upon Avon, to see the work of the Royal Shakespeare Company first-hand.
You will also be encouraged to take part in the many social activities
which are an integral part of being a student at LAMDA.
The practical class work includes:
Acting & Improvisation Voice & Verse Speaking
Textual Interpretation & Analysis Movement
Physical Theatre & Stage Combat Singing
Historic Dance, Jazz & Flamenco Alexander Technique
The course is compact and assumes some performance experience.
It is executed through a rigorous programme of class-work and workshop
performances. Students eligible to work in the USA and Canada are able
to join students from other courses to present duologues at a showcase
in New York and Los Angeles– on completion of the course.
adMission: by audition.
The course is open to students from all countries, given that their English
is sufficient to support the work.
LAMDA is eligible for the Guaranteed Loan Program operated by the US
