Events

Outside of the syllabus, BADA organises several events and excursions throughout the month for the students of the program. 

Trip to Stratford Students and faculty make an all-day excursion to Stratford-upon-Avon to see an evening performance by the Royal Shakespeare Company. Where possible, leading members of the cast often return to Balliol shortly thereafter to hold a masterclass. 

River Party  BADA's annual River Party at a Boat House on the Cherwell, is a highlight of the month at Balliol.  Faculty and students join together in the Oxfordshire countryside for punting, good food and dancing as the sun goes down. 

Entertainment Evening  In the third week of the program,  students have the opportunity to showcase their talents alongside those of the faculty.  Acts may include songs of any kind, musical performances, juggling, magic or stand-up comedy.

The cost of all these excursions and events are included in the fees.
