No courses at RADA are easy
To become an actor, stage manager, technician, designer or director takes not only talent but dedication, commitment, energy and time. All our students work long hours and most discover physical, mental and emotional reserves they never knew they possessed.
The rewards are great – the mastery of a craft, the confidence of self-expression, the sense of being a vital part of something bigger than yourself – but they may not come quickly.
Our students frequently achieve overnight success, but that is not our goal: we want our graduates still to be applying their RADA-training years after they have left us.
We’ve been training first class theatre-makers for over a hundred years, but we haven’t stopped inquiring how we can do it better. Our teachers draw upon their experience of the past and present to give our students the expertise to shape the drama of tomorrow.
We cannot give you the desire to be the best in your field, but if you have it our staff will help you nurture, focus and refine it.
