Happy New Year!
I hope everyone has had a wonderful and refreshing start to the new year.
Over here at White Rabbit, we've been hard at work putting together all the bits and pieces for our 2023 season. Although there are still a few things to finalize, we didn't want to keep you waiting any longer, so here's what the year is looking like:
LAMDA
We will be continuing with our training for the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts exams. The LAMDA exams are an excellent addition to the resumes of anyone planning to head into theatre schools (particularly in the UK) and are equally a great way to keep the skills of working actors sharp. The training focuses on monologue work, script analysis and character development. In the higher levels, actors are also trained in a variety of theoretical areas. White Rabbit has had an excellent track record with the LAMDA exams, with all our actors scoring Merit or above, and most of our actors scoring Distinction. We have also had three actors so far achieve Bronze or Silver Medal standing. White Rabbit Theatre Company is one of the only companies in Switzerland which offers LAMDA training to adult actors as well as children and teens. For more information on LAMDA and the exams, you can check out their website here. To register your interest and find out more about the program we offer, take a look at our workshop page here and scroll down to LAMDA.
