Cert HE Foundation in Stage and Screen

can be your springboard into the performing and technical arts. The course offers you the opportunity to experience first-hand the industry leading actor training at LAMDA, as well as expand your creative horizon in helping you identify who you want to be as an artist. It can act both as preparation for a degree or as a standalone course, providing the tools and connections to step into the creative industries.Ever-evolving and responding to the current demands of a changing industry, this course focuses on YOU and what you want your creative identity to be. It helps you identify how you want to express yourself as an artist and it will empower you to trust your unique path, training the actors and artists of the future! You will connect with exciting theatre makers, virtual production and technical arts specialists and directors from across the UK and London, giving you an opportunity to make connections beyond LAMDA, as well as learn from LAMDA practitioners and alumni who are making their own work and will share their experiences as artists with you.Every Module has been conceived in collaboration with associated artists, LAMDA practitioners and LAMDA alumni. Our approach to the training is to create equitable, non-hierarchical and empowering rehearsal and production rooms in which it is safe to challenge each other, challenge pre-conceived ideas of what the responsibility of actors and creatives as artists and storytellers might be, whilst always championing accountability, professionalism and discipline within the ensemble. Each module within the course will have its own structure, depending on the specialism you’ll be exploring. Throughout the course, you will receive core skills training in voice, acting, movement and music until you begin your final rehearsal to performance module.There is also a grounding in the technical production skills to stage, light, film, record and virtually produce performances. This includes working with our state-of-the-art "future tech" kit. You will have the opportunity to learn skills for the actor in performing on, running and using our LED Volume stage and Motion Capture studio for performance and film.This is an intensive, six month course, which runs 4 days of the week, Monday - Thursday.
