Spotlight on Short Courses
Support beyond LAMDA Discover London life
LAMDA’s training is about longevity, not only working with students while they’re physically at the school, but beyond, in all their ventures. We’ve welcomed back alumn to teach on our short courses, host events and assist our current students. Our mentoring programme Genesis, allows our final-year MFA and BA (Hons) Professional Acting students to continue to be supported by LAMDA and a suitable mentor after they graduate.

We’re continually working on new ways to develop the connection between LAMDA and our alumni. Further examples of this include the launch of MishMash festival which celebrates the work in progress pieces curated by LAMDA alumni and their contemporaries. We have also developed an alumni platform to re-connect cohorts across the world in a digital community. LAMDA also regularly engages in alumni development activity as artists in their own right, supporting them as actors, photographers and tutors at LAMDA with the overall aim of carrying on LAMDA’s vision beyond the course and training itself. From Shakespeare’s Globe to the West End, London has a huge amount to offer and is the theatrical capital. Based in south west London LAMDA is only 20 minutes from bustling central London, which means outside of your training you can benefit from its nightlife and culture.
Whether you’re studying on a short course for the summer or you’re with us for longer, you’ll have lots of opportunities to socialise with your course mates in student led events and activities, see professional shows and experience what London life is like. We have exclusive access to discounted performances across London’s theatre scene, as well as being lucky enough to host events and workshops by inspirational creatives who often visit the school. Recent visitors who have delivered talks to students include Ruth Wilson, David Oyelowo, Benedict Cumberbatch, and David Suchet.
