Interested theatre students are invited to attend a workshop with Kathryn Pogson and Shea Kelly, representatives from Fordham University's London Dramatic Academy.

LDA is the oldest study abroad program in London and is a vigorous conservatory training academy based on the traditions and expertise that have given British Drama Schools their acclaimed world-wide reputation. 

Taught by working professionals who are passionate about teaching. Small classes developing the body, voice, and mind. Learning to think like an actor and leaving with useful tools for the trade. The work is rigorous, demanding, and focused. Ranging from Shakespeare to contemporary text. Alexander Technique to Physical Theatre. Voice, Speech and Dialect, Stage Combat, Period Dance, Movement to challenge your body and Dramatic Criticism and Space/Place/Text to sharpen your mind. The London Theatre cornucopia is on your comfortable central accommodation doorstep. Twelve theatre visits, including Stratford, and guided walks to introduce you to this extraordinary world city. You will leave changed. Better equipped for a life in the theatre or the theatre of life. Come play.
