Part Time Drama Courses
Professional training. Real-world results.
At Beck Academy of Dramatic Art (BADA), our part-time programs are designed for actors who are serious about their craft – and their careers.
What you’ll Learn:
Developed by founder and director Fay Beck, these courses are built to help you grow beyond technique and into the kind of performer who stands out – on stage, on screen, and in the audition room.
Grounded in the Beck Emotional Access Technique™ (BEAT™) and enriched by the principles of the Meisner Technique, our training pushes you to go deeper, work truthfully, and perform with instinct and emotional precision.
You’ll learn how to access character quickly and consistently – so that your performance is not only authentic, but also compelling to watch.
Industry Access:
But we don’t stop at craft.
BADA is committed to helping actors bridge the gap between training and professional work.
Through our industry-connected faculty, ongoing showcases, and deep ties to the film, television, and theatre communities, students gain direct exposure to casting professionals, agents, and directors. Our part-time programs are a launchpad – not just for personal growth, but for professional opportunity.
We champion a diverse and inclusive creative space where bold choices are encouraged, and each actor is supported to take risks, refine their talent, and step confidently into the industry.
Who is it for?
Whether you’re new to acting or returning to sharpen your skills, our part-time courses give you the tools, the training, and the access to move forward – professionally and powerfully.
