About Beck Academy of Dramatic Art - A Contemporary Part-Time Drama School in London.
Who we are.
At Beck Academy of Dramatic Art (BADA), we’re redefining what it means to train at a part-time drama school in London.
Our programs are designed for actors who want world-class training within a structure that fits real life.
We focus on the complete performer – bringing body, voice, and emotion together as one expressive instrument.
We’re not here to teach acting tricks. We’re here to help you act truthfully – to discover instinct, presence, and emotional depth.
Our Method: BEAT™ & Meisner-Inspired Training
Our signature BEAT™ (Beck Emotional Access Technique) was developed by founder Fay Beck to help actors access emotion consciously and safely.
Grounded in neuroscience and psychology, BEAT™ explores how emotion and identity shape performance — helping actors work from authentic feeling rather than forced expression.
Our roots are in Meisner Technique training. Fay’s expertise in this approach has led many of her students to describe her as a “Meisner Master.” BEAT TM shares central core tenets with the Meisner Technique such as it’s commitment to truth.
Unlike many short-term programs, BADA’s part-time drama training integrates voice, movement, and screen/stage performance — building actors who are instinctive, intelligent, and professionally ready.
What Makes Us Different
BADA is a drama school in London that bridges conservatoire depth with modern flexibility.
We offer part-time actor training for serious performers who want to pursue excellence without giving up their working life.
Our approach combines technique, psychology, and artistry — training actors who think, feel, and move with authenticity.
Each class is deliberately small, ensuring personalised attention and measurable growth.
