What is the difference between DRAMA GROUPS and LAMDA EXAM classes?

Drama Groups

• No exam element

• Focus on ensemble skills: collaboration, listening, problem-solving, and group creativity

• Use theatre games and “theatre sports” to explore voice and body in a team setting

• Build confidence, self-expression, and social interaction through group work

• May include costumes, makeup, puppetry, clowning, stage combat, magic, or filming (depending on teacher specialties)

• End-of-year showcase features a group performance of a short theatrical play for family and friends
  
  

LAMDA Exam Classes

• Group classes prepare each student for an individual exam

• Focus on solo performance skills: clear speech, characterisation, interpretation, and stage presence

• After warmups, students work individually or in pairs on exam pieces (different from classmates’ pieces)

• Medal-level exams can earn UCAS Tariff points for UK university admissions

• End-of-year showcase features individual performances of exam pieces for family and friends

• Formal LAMDA exams are closed to the public
