LAMDA’s classical acting programmes push you to your creative limits as you dive into the rich texts of the Shakespearean, Jacobean, Spanish Golden Age, French classical, and Restoration periods. With dynamic scene work, hands-on workshops, and interactive class sessions, you’ll prepare for a memorable final performance in the Sainsbury Theatre.
MA Classical Acting for the Professional Theatre
In just one year, the MA Classical Acting programme sharpens your skills with classes in acting, voice, and movement while encouraging creativity through a practical thesis. Your training culminates in a full public Shakespeare production, which is also open to industry guests. It all leads to a Shakespeare production, where you have the chance to perform in front of agents and casting directors.
MFA Classical Acting: Performance & Practice
Like the MA, the 18-month MFA Classical Acting fuses acting training with a focus on movement, voice, and music and features a public-facing Shakespeare production. In Year Two, you'll expand your horizons with innovative modules like Pedagogies of Performance and the New Classics Project, supported by weekly seminars and individual supervision.
