Fixation Academy of Performing Arts is proud to teach LAMDA exams & qualifications at our establishment. The LAMDA Level 2 Award in Performance: Acting is designed to enable Learners to develop a range of acting skills. Learners will perform two scenes from memory. The performance will be audible and intelligible with vocal contrast through which mood and meaning are communicated. Learners will be able to demonstrate a sound understanding of the material, leading to an imaginative interpretation in which there is application of appropriate technical skills. Effective preparation and study will be evident, leading to a secure performance. Use of voice, body and space will be effectively combined to communicate the text and engage the audience. LAMDA Level 2 is sectioned into 2 Grades (4 & 5), with an exam for each, and focus on the following Learning Outcomes: LO1: Perform two scenes from memory, demonstrating an understanding of the material LO2: Use vocal skills to respond appropriately to the text LO3: Create a physical response to the text LO4: Know and understand the characters, situations and staging in the chosen scenes In LAMDA classes students work towards their exams, and are entered to sit them at the end of the Autumn and Spring Terms. A student will be entered into their exam when the teacher and student both feel comfortable and ready to do so. The process of preparing for and succeeding in a LAMDA Examination helps Learners, whatever their ages or aspirations, to develop a broad range of skills that will serve them throughout life. Our examinations develop a Learner’s ability to: • read easily, fluently and with good understanding • expand vocabulary to improve powers of self-expression • improve confidence in speaking and listening • memorise and recall information • research and create persuasive formal presentations • create and defend arguments • engage in constructive informal conversation • work both on their own and participate as a member of a team
