The Advanced London Theatre Program is offered to students who have successfully completed BADA's London Theatre Program in the fall.
The Advanced program gives students a unique opportunity to build on the training in classical theatre that they have already received. Classes in Shakespeare, Movement, Voice, Stage-Fighting, Theatre History and Dramatic Criticism continue on a more advanced level, as well as masterclasses and tutorials. The Advanced Program introduces two new elements: acting for screen & television and a modern workshop production.
Acting for Screen & TV On-camera classes that demonstrate the variations that must be made when acting on screen versus stage. Students are given a professionally edited DVD of their work. (2 credits)
Modern Workshop Production Students rehearse and perform a workshop production of a 20th century play in collaboration with a Director and Designer/Stage Manager. Students are encouraged to contribute to the project in the areas of direction, design, choreography and music. Recent productions have included plays by Sartre, Beckett, Chekhov, Kane and Buchner. (2 credits)
Acting in Performance The second production for the Advanced Theatre Program is of a major classical work and serves as the finale to the program, directed by a leading British director and performed in a London theatre. (3 credits)
Below are a selection of photographs from modern workshop productions since 2002.
