Going Solo: London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art (LAMDA)'s Production & Technical Arts course

Since opening its doors in 1861, the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art has garnered an outstanding reputation for training actors, but it's also home to a pioneering Production & Technical Arts course. On this multi-faceted degree course, students will have the opportunity to train under industry professionals and develop the skills, knowledge and hands-on experience to forge long-lasting careers in theatre, film, television, live events, podcast and radio production, and more.

There's never been a better or more exciting time to train at LAMDA. Throughout your three years on this course, you'll train in three modern theatre spaces in West London, learn how to harness the capabilities of virtual production technology in LAMDA's own cutting-edge studios, and take part in a wide range of workshops and studios. You'll also take on a leading role in supporting LAMDA's public productions, from costume dramas to musicals to bold new works. As current Production & Technical Arts student Maia Thompson recently said, ‘We get to jump in and work on shows almost right away. That was a really big draw for me, as being very hands on and practical is the way I learn best. You work on four or five different shows in a year, across various roles, covering all aspects of technical theatre. It was exactly what I was looking for.’
