The process of preparing for and succeeding in a LAMDA examination helps learners, whatever their ages, to develop a broad range of skills that will serve them throughout life.  These include - 

​

• read easily, fluently and with good understanding

• expand vocabulary to improve powers of self-expression

• improve confidence in speaking and listening

• memorise and recall information

• research and create persuasive formal presentations

• engage in constructive informal conversation

• work both on their own and as a member of a team

​

At Stardust Drama we focus on the Acting Exams.  They are designed to develop the skills necessary to communicate dramatic text to an audience.

​

The learner will 

• explore style, form, character, subtext and context in order to realise the specific demands of the text

• engage with character and situation in order to create a sense of reality

• develop skills in voice, diction and movement

• know and understand the chosen selections

​

The LAMDA qualifications are available at four levels

• Entry Level

• Level 1 - Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3

• Level 2 - Grade 4, Grade 5

• Level 3 - Grade 6 (Bronze Medal), Grade 7 (Silver Medal), Grade 8 (Gold Medal)

​

They are offered in the following forms 

• Solo - where the learner performs alone (monologues)

• Duo - where two learners perform all scenes together (duologues)
