British American Drama Academy || BADA was founded in 1984 to enable students from around the world to study theatre with leading actors and directors of the British stage. BADA currently offers three acting conservatory courses: the Midsummer in Oxford Program (Actors 18+); the London Theatre Program (College Juniors & Seniors); and the Midsummer Conservatory Program (Actors aged 16 - 18); as well as two academic intensives: Greek Theatre (Participants 18+) which takes participants from London to Athens and then to Oxford; and Black British Theatre and Performance (Participants 18+) which provides an overview of contemporary Black British theatre by tracing the social, cultural, intellectual and political developments that have come to define the theory, practice and aesthetics of its practitioners.
