Private Tuition

All ages

​

What do the sessions involve?

​Our 1-1 or 1-2 sessions are open to students of all ages from 6 - 60 years. They are run separately to our existing classes – which means you don’t need to attend our group classes to participate. 

​​

For non exam classes, we will focus on the building blocks and key skills of performance including:

​

• Break down and analysis a script

• Unlock a character and make it your own

• Develop new techniques to bring your character to life - both in body & voice

• Master the art of a monologue (or duologue if a joint session)

• Learn key audition and self-tape techniques

• Find out what directors are looking for, and how to work with a director

 

… as well as much more, all in a fun and creative atmosphere.  Whether you are brand new to acting or want to brush up on your existing skills, these sessions will help take your acting to the next level, as well as leaving you with a toolkit of practical techniques to take away with you, ready for the next stage of your theatrical journey.

​

For those who are interested in gaining acting qualifications, these sessions are designed to teach students the techniques to develop the skills needed for public speaking, performance poetry, improvised acting, duologue and solo acting.

​

The sessions are ideal for children and adults who:

• Would like to test out their performing skills in a more focused way - perhaps enhancing what they have already learnt in group classes​

• Enjoy drama lessons in a quieter and more intimate environment

 

When ready, most students take an exam at an appropriate grade – and then move onto the next grade after each exam.

​

Performance Qualifications

​

For anyone (child, young person or adult) keen to further develop their performance skills, we separately offer exams using the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) syllabus. 

​

These nationally-recognised qualifications are focused on allowing students to express themselves more effectively. They provide the techniques needed to help students develop the skills they need to succeed in life.

​

​“Ultimately, we want to provide all students with the opportunity to develop the life skills they need to be a success – life skills that are important no matter what career a student eventually follows.”

 

What exams are available?

​

At B.A.D., examinations can be taken in any of the following four areas:

1. Acting monologue

2. Acting duologue

3. Speaking verse and prose

4. Shakespeare for Performance 

​

There are other syllabi available and we are happy to discuss these to see if we are able to offer the appropriate level of teaching.
