The British-American Drama Academy

The school is located right next to Regents Park, aka- my favorite place in London.  The gardens consist of acres and acres of breathtaking flower gardens and greenery.  It's just a 15 min bus ride from my flat at the Landward, so many people walk everyday to and from BADA through the park.  Just down the road from BADA is Camden, a very young and vibrant community with tons of entertainment and great restaurants.  (It's also where an H&M happens to be).  Classes so far have a very conservatory feeling including: Acing Shakespeare, Voice, Dramatic Criticism, Theatre History, Movement, Stage Combat, Movement for the Theatre, and several others.  My Shakespeare professor is the spitting image of Julie Andrews, except she's hard on hearing, so she didn't hear the walls shaking the other day when we practically had an earthquake.  I feel I'm given a good amount of individual attention as the class sizes are around 15 people, and I have private tutoring with the Dean of the school.  All the professionals are very bright in the London and U.S. theatre scene and are a joy to learn from.  And Laura, ah Laura.  She's a wonderful Columbian who cooks the most exquisite meals for us at lunch.  I may or may not have an affair with her.
