Lamda Performance Exams
Lamda performance exams use drama to develop self confidence, physical presence and a strong, clear voice.
Qualifications can be gained in Acting, Devising Drama and Mime.
From entry level to medal levels (Grade 6,7 & 8) these are Ofqual recognised qualifications – allowing Bronze, Silver & Gold learners to achieve potential UCAS points.
Acting Exams
Designed to develop the necessary skills to communicate a dramatic text to an audience.
Learners will ultimately gain a qualification in Acting but their journey will take them through an extensive & thorough learning process; akin to drama school training. Developing understanding of: Interpretation (style, form, character, plot), Technical skills (vocal techniques, movement, facial expression) and Knowledge (staging, gesture, objectives, theatre practitioners).
Devising Drama
Designed to develop the necessary skills to devise a dramatic performance and present to an audience.
Acting skills are an integral part of these exams but move away from published scripts, allowing the learner the freedom to create and devise their own material working from a given stimulus.
Developing voice production, movement and characterisation; learners can devise their own character and situation whilst creating a sense of reality.
This may suit those who find line learning/reading challenging or those with a flair for creativity & imaginative devising.
Mime
Designed so that learners will develop the technical skills necessary to create and perform mime; with a defined and secure structure. Skills of gesture, facial expression, body language and use of space will enable the learner to create, develop and perform their own mimed scenes and demonstrate an understanding of the content and characterisation.
