PERFORMANCE EXAMS

​

Graded Exams for Performance: Acting Learners delve into characterisation and develop strong speaking skills in one of LAMDAs most popular exams.

 

Acting Exam learners develop their vocal, physical and interpretive skills while they delve into characters and explore the background of dramatic texts. Alongside producing authentic performances of their chosen scenes, they also gain an understanding of the context and characters within them. Working through the grades takes learners through the development of clear speaking and character portrayal to an understanding of a playwright’s style, the influence of theatre practitioners such as Stanislavski and a sensitive appreciation of subtext.

​

Group sessions can be booked with Abi on a 'visiting teacher' basis at schools/colleges for up to 15 students per hour session studying either individual/duologue or group exam syllabus. Fee to be discussed

 

Private learners can take their lessons in a solo or duologue format at AKP Management Agency, Studio 3, The Old Bakehouse Brixham or virtually via zoom: £45 per hour (Half hour sessions available.)
