Short courses — RADA

Discover the power of storytelling with RADA’s short courses, either in-person in Central London or remotely online.

Whether you’re an actor-in-training in need of a stepping stone, a total beginner, or a professional wanting to build on your experience, we have a course for you. Use our filter function below.

Our series Acting Essentials is aimed at those at the beginning of their acting journey or thinking of going to drama school. Want to hone your stage craft and learn how to write or devise your own work? Our Text & Craft courses are for you.

Exploring Movement courses are devoted to movement and developing an actor’s physicality. Work on your voice and hone your vocal techniques with our Exploring Voice series, and get to grips with Shakespeare with our World of Shakespeare series.

Short Course Skill Sets are one-week online deep dives, designed to fit around a busy schedule. Interested in a particular era of drama? Look no further than our Theatre History in Practice courses.
