The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) is a drama school situated in the west of London, United Kingdom. LAMDA is the oldest drama school in the UK. LAMDA's president is Timothy West and its Principal is Joanna Read (who succeeded Peter James in 2010).〔("LAMDA Appoints a New Principal" )〕 In recent years, over 98% of LAMDA's stage management and technical theatre graduates have found work in their chosen field within weeks of graduation and the Academy's graduates work regularly at the Royal National Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company, Shakespeare's Globe, London's West End and Hollywood as well as on the BBC, HBO and Broadway.It is registered as a company under the name LAMDA Ltd〔(Lamda Ltd, do-business.net )〕 and as a charity under its trading name London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.〔(London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, charitiesdirect.com )〕 There is an associate organisation in America under the name LAMDA in America, Inc., previously known as The American Friends of LAMDA.〔(LAMDA in America, Inc., LAMDA website. )〕 LAMDA Examinations are recognised by Ofqual, the regulator in England and its counterparts in Wales and Northern Ireland. In addition, LAMDA accredited examinations at level 3 are recognised by the University and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) points system. As an affiliate of the Conservatoire for Dance and Drama, LAMDA receives funding from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). This means that eligible UK/EU students are able to access loans to assist with their tuition fees and maintenance costs. In addition, LAMDA and the Conservatoire have a range of scholarships and bursaries available. ==History== The institutions that combined to form LAMDA date from 1861, making the Academy the oldest of its kind in Britain. Providing training for, and examinations in, various musical disciplines was originally the dominant purpose of the institution. However, providing instruction in spoken English quickly became a core area of the Academy’s work. In the 1880s, LAMDA began offering speech examinations to the public. Since then, these examinations have been refined and developed into a comprehensive system of performance evaluation. LAMDA Examinations has emerged as the largest Speech and Drama Board in the United Kingdom. The past few years have witnessed important growth for the Academy. A move to a larger and more visible home on the Talgarth Road in West London has enabled LAMDA to further develop the campus and training facilities for its students. Furthermore, in June 2004, the Academy became an affiliate of the Conservatoire for Dance and Drama. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
