About LAMDA
As the oldest drama school in the UK, founded in 1861 as the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art , LAMDA is a world-leading conservatoire based in the heart of London, offering exceptional vocational training to actors, stage managers, technicians, directors and designers, regardless of their background or socio-economic circumstances. In 1965, LAMDA became the first drama school to introduce technical training and quickly became a prototype for other institutions branching into this area.
