The Acting Courses
LAMDA’s training demands the actor’s emotional and intellectual engagement with the world around them. The Academy defines the actor’s role as a storyteller, artist, communicator and commentator. Students study the classical and modern canon in order to equip themselves with the necessary technique and imagination to meet the demands of a 21st
century audience. Great emphasis is placed throughout the training on the individual’s responsibility to the group and the group’s responsibility to the individual.
The Academy embraces and utilises technology in its exploration of the art of acting. Students work with recorded and new media at all stages in their training, preparing them for careers in film, television and radio.
LAMDA is a liberal institution. It believes in free speech. In pursuit of excellence in its training, the Academy uses plays and other forms of text of the broadest possible reference, so that as wide a range of views and beliefs as possible are expressed. The training therefore requires students willing to personate in dialogue, personality and appearance, any character these writings may involve, including roles of either gender and any race or creed. Acceptance of a place at LAMDA will be deemed acceptance of the Academy’s training requirements.
Classes are mostly conducted in groups of 12 to 15 students. Progress is encouraged through conversation, practice and example.
Students receive regular talks from agents and casting directors, as well as classes on taxation, industry structure and methodology, to help them prepare for entry into the profession.
