A Lie of the Mind Photograph by Richard Hubert Smith 7 PROSPECTUS LONDON ACADEMY OF MUSIC & DRAMATIC ART WWW.LAMDA.ORG.UK PROSPECTUS 8 LAMDA defines the actor’s role as storyteller, artist, communicator and commentator. Our training demands our students’ emotional and intellectual engagement with the world around them. As drama is a collaborative art form, we place great emphasis on the individual’s responsibility to the group and the group’s responsibility to the individual. Nothing is more important than the cultivation of an environment in which creativity can flourish. Risk-taking, barrier-breaking and exploration can only occur because attitudes of mutual respect, support and celebration are firmly embedded within the Academy. LAMDA actors are characterised by their commitment, imagination and openness, supported by strong vocal and physical technique. There is, however, no such thing as a LAMDA product. We develop each student’s individual strengths, talent and potential. We are a liberal institution. In pursuit of excellence, we work with plays and texts that express the widest possible range of views and beliefs. Our students must therefore be willing to play any character these texts may involve, including roles of either gender and any race or faith. Acceptance of a place at LAMDA will be deemed acceptance of our training requirements.

  • “I Will Never Play the Dane”: Shakespeare and the Performer's Failure
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by MURAL - Maynooth University Research Archive Library DOI: 10.1111/lic3.12470 ARTICLE “I will never play the Dane”: Shakespeare and the performer's failure Richard O'Brien University of Birmingham Abstract Correspondence Richard O'Brien, Department of Film and The cultural prestige accorded to Shakespeare's great roles Creative Writing, University of Birmingham, has made them high watermarks for ‘great acting’ in general. Birmingham, UK. Email: [email protected] They are therefore also uniquely capable of channelling a performer's sense of his own failure. The 1987 film Withnail &Ifamously ends with its title character, an out‐of‐work actor and self‐destructive alcoholic, delivering Hamlet's “What a piece of work is a man” to an audience of unre- sponsive wolves. And in 2014's The Trip to Italy, Steve Coogan plays a fictionalised version of himself: a comedian who fears he will never be remembered as a serious artist. On a visit to Pompeii, Coogan's delivery of Hamlet's speech to Yorick's skull similarly becomes a way of channelling the series's wider reflections on fame, mortality, and the value of the actor's art. Drawing on Marvin Carlson's argument that the role of Hamlet is unusually densely ghosted by its previous occupants, this article will explore how these two contemporary depictions of struggling performers evoke the received idea of the great Shakespearean role as the pinnacle of the actor's art to respond to the dilemma of how to cope with creative failure.

    Introduction to Ecovenue Ecovenue is a signifi cant theatre-specifi c environmental project being run by The Theatres Trust. It aims to improve the environmental performance of forty-eight London theatres and raise awareness of how to make theatres greener.

The project started in 2009 and runs until 2012. Forty-eight venues each undergo an Environmental Audit, and receive a Display Energy Certifi cate (DEC) and Advisory Report. They track their energy use through SMEasure. Each venue receives a second DEC a year after their fi rst to measure progress. Ecovenue includes a ‘DEC Pool’ of performing arts venues across the UK that have obtained DECs. The DEC Pool helps us to evaluate the project and share best practice and information, establish meaningful benchmarks, and provide a better understanding of energy use of theatres.
