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.

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.
