Welcome to the Home of Beck Emotional Access Technique, BEAT TM
At Beck Academy of Dramatic Art, we offer acting classes in London designed for those who refuse to stay at the surface.
We work with actors who want to go deeper — who want to understand the psychology of character, the rhythm of behaviour, and the emotional systems that create truthful performance.
Our training is based on our own methodology, BEATTM (Beck Emotional Access Technique) – a method that connects the actor’s internal experience with their physical, behavioural, and vocal expression. In our training, we use core exercises from Meisner Technique and also offer traditional Meisner Technique. Our aim is to create work that feels alive, instinctive, and cinematic.
Whether you’re beginning your journey or refining your craft, Beck Academy of Dramatic Art provides a space to train with integrity, rigour, and artistic freedom.
Workshops and Drop-In Classes
For those seeking flexibility, we offer acting workshops and drop-in classes — short, intensive sessions that let you experience our process before committing to a full program.
Perfect for professional actors keeping their instincts sharp or newcomers exploring their creative potential.
Screen Acting in Focus
The screen demands precision, honesty, and restraint.
Our screen acting courses help you understand how to use stillness, silence, and subtle shifts of energy to communicate truth on camera.
You’ll learn to own the frame — to bring intimacy, control, and authenticity to every take.

What Makes Beck Academy Different
We believe acting is not imitation — it’s awareness.
Our approach unites technique, psychology, and presence so you can access the emotion that drives authentic performance.
You’ll train in a studio that encourages risk, depth, and curiosity. Every class is small, personal, and guided by experienced coaches. You’ll be challenged to let go of performance habits and rediscover what it means to simply be.

- Experience a teaching method that’s both rigorous and humane.
- Train in small classes where your development is personal, not generic.

What Our Students Say About BADA
Training at BADA has been some of the best years of my life. I graduated from the 2-year drama course and picked up so many skills along the way. The experience there has been nothing short of life-changing for me! Fay & Martina were brilliant in their delivery of the course and really pushed us to our limits. The course was very demanding and challenging but, as a result I was able to make so many breakthroughs e.g. crying on cue, staying present in a scene, ownership... I met some great friends along the way and am grateful to have shared this experience with my fellow graduates! If you are looking for somewhere that will be honest and genuine with you about your acting ability and will really help you target your weak areas. This is the place! I highly highly recommend!...not for the faint of heart. This place will push you!
I graduated from the 2-Year Drama Course and the experience changed my life. I learnt how to perfect my craft and was provided with all the tools to excel. The skills I have learnt have been vital as an actor new to the industry. Though not an easy journey, Fay and Martina's critiques and support enabled me to get the most out of each performance on screen and stage. Fay's industry knowledge is also extremely helpful in guiding you if you need to learn more about the industry. The course was such a positive experience and I look forward to working with Fay in the future. Highly recommend for those who are serious about their craft!
I completed the 2 year drama course at BADA and the lessons I've learned are invaluable. Teachers Fay and Martina will push you to strive for excellence and teach the craft in powerful, engaging and challenging ways. Over the 2 years, I have not only transformed as a character actor but also as a person. With the tools I've been given, I feel ready to take on this tough industry! Highly recommend this place if you want to excel and have a passion for the art of acting and storytelling.
