FOUNDATION DIPLOMA
Overview
This course provides basic training in acting and is for students with less experience. It is aimed at those wishing to gain experience and confidence in a drama school setting before embarking on a higher level course at drama school or university, or for those wishing to learn more about acting and the performing arts.
The year consists of twenty five weeks, delivered as three terms. The first term is designed to set in place the necessary techniques which are the foundations of performance. You will investigate the essential nature of performance. The second term is where you are able to explore creatively your individuality as an actor and begin to discover what professional direction you wish to take. The third and shorter term consists of full-time rehearsals towards an end of term production.
The LSDA admits only a limited number of students each year because we want to maintain a close-knit learning environment. We believe this sets the right scene for growth and development for an actor.
LSDA may offer students a place on the Advanced Acting Diploma programme after displaying exceptional talent and discipline on this course.
The hours of study are between 9.00 am and 4.00 pm Monday to Friday.
