Elements of RADA: online
Course overview
This series of drop-in online workshops focuses on key subjects taught at RADA: Voice, Movement, Contemporary Text, Classical Text and Improvisation.
Class sizes are kept small for the work to be detailed and are therefore suitable for participants of all levels. Beginners and people fairly new to performing will be able to try out different subject areas and get a taste of Short Courses at RADA. Professional actors will benefit from a drop-in session to keep their acting muscles warm, and our expert tutors will modify exercises and choose scenes tailored to each individual participant's training needs.
The workshops are self-contained sessions, allowing you to book for as many as you wish. Classes are held online, so you can join from anywhere in the world.
