Course overview

Interested in embarking on the next stage of your RADA Shakespeare Awards journey? Do you have your Bronze or Silver Award and need some encouragement as you contemplate Silver or Gold? Why not be guided by some first-class tuition from RADA’s tutors.

Shakespeare Awards offer the opportunity to present a speech, sonnet or scene from Shakespeare to a RADA tutor and get personal feedback to develop your skills and inspire your acting.

This advanced workshop is tailored for those who already have their Bronze or Silver Award and want to progress to the next level of the Awards. Over three days, you will take classes in Voice and Physical Performance to equip you with some essential skills; and a workshop for rehearsing and developing your pieces with a member of the Awards team.

On the final day, you will continue with classes and be assessed for your Award by a member of RADA's faculty whom you have not met during the week.

You can join as an individual or as a pair, depending on which material you have chosen from the syllabus.
