Strive to Grow

INTRODUCTORY AND ENTRY LEVEL GRADES

LAMDA’S Introductory exams are the perfect start for both young students and those who have never taken an exam before.
By learning the words of a fun poem from the likes of Michael Rosen and Valerie Bloom LAMDA’S Introductory students are developing the ability to express themselves clearly while also improving their memorisation and recall.
Not only that, they are also gaining in self-confidence as they talk about the things they love, like their favourite toy, place or book. These conversations encourage LAMDA’S students to feel at ease with answering questions, listening and using description.
This is a non-regulated examination.

ENTRY EXPLANATION:
The LAMDA Entry Level Award in Performance: Acting is designed to introduce students to very simple acting skills.
Students will perform one scene from memory, audibly and clearly.
They will be able to show that they understand the meaning of what they are speaking. Their use of space will complement their performance.

Strive to Create

LEVEL 1: GRADES 1 - 3

The LAMDA Level 1 Award in Performance: Acting is designed to enable students to develop basic acting skills. Students will perform two scenes from memory, audibly and clearly.
They will be able to apply their knowledge, understanding and skills to produce a thoughtful interpretation, based on creative engagement with the material and careful preparation. Through variations in volume, pace and pause they will be able to create and convey mood. Their use of body and space will complement their performance.
During their examination, students should present their pieces to a wider imagined audience, of which the Examiner is a part, and not solely to the Examiner.

Strive to Inspire

LEVEL 2&3: GRADES 4 - 8

The LAMDA Level 2 Award in Performance: Acting is designed to enable students to develop a range of acting skills. Students will perform two scenes from memory. The performance will be audible and intelligible with vocal contrast through which mood and meaning are communicated. Students will be able to demonstrate a sound understanding of the material, leading to an imaginative interpretation in which there is application of appropriate technical skills. Effective preparation and study will be evident, leading to a secure performance. Use of voice, body and space will be effectively combined to communicate the text and engage the audience.
During their examination, students should present their pieces to a wider imagined audience, of which the Examiner is a part, and not solely to the Examiner.

Students will perform their chosen scenes from memory, integrating their knowledge and skills to demonstrate a mature understanding of the material. There will be a sense of ownership and self-awareness. Presentation will be grounded in thorough and relevant preparation. Students will combine physical and vocal flexibility to support and inform characterisation and engage the audience.
During their examination, students should present their pieces to a wider imagined audience, of which the Examiner is a part, and not solely to the Examiner.
