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!
