Our purpose

We seek out, train and empower exceptional dramatic artists and technicians
of every generation

LAMDA’s mission is to seek out and empower exceptional people from all walks of life who have a passion for dramatic and performing arts. We will nurture our students’ unique talents so they can thrive in a changing creative industries landscape, and through our examinations in drama and communication inspire future generations across the globe to become confident, authentic communicators and discover their own voice. 

Our students are shaping the future of the creative industries through their aspirational work in theatre, film, television and new media. We’re bridging the gap between the traditional craft of ensemble-based theatre and the new possibilities that we uncover in the creative industries. 

We’re looking for the trailblazers ready to lead, the relentlessly curious ready to create, and the passionate artists ready to collaborate and realise their full potential. We won’t let background, age or circumstance hold anyone back. We support our students to be the best they can be.
