Welcome to the New London Drama Website
Who We Are
We are the Professional Association for drama teachers, lecturers, teachers-in-training, theatre practitioners and others concerned with any aspect of Drama/Theatre Education. We link Drama across the inner and outer London region. We are a membership organisation entirely financed by voluntary contributions, ie. we receive no core funding from official funding bodies. We are run by a Committee and an Administrator with an office in central London.
What we provide
On this site you can enrol on any of our fantastic low-cost drama courses and workshops – either evening or day courses, led by experts in their field. And you can browse our extensive online bookshop which will eventually contain more than 300 Drama titles and purchase them here online. Here you can also join London Drama and receive all the benefits of membership including discounts on courses and books. You can also participate in the drama community via the new online Members' Forum, developing discussion areas, filing resources, receiving assistance and advice from the wider drama circle. (For assistance on how to use and make sense of this site please access our helpful Website Guide.)
What We Are Developing
London Drama has over many years developed and maintained an active network of drama teachers and theatre workers (see About London Drama). Because we are run by drama teachers for drama teachers we know what drama teachers need – good quality practical support, stimulus and new ideas! We see our role as keeping drama teachers in touch with one another via Day Workshops and Evening Courses at which members exchange drama ideas, and curriculum management experience.
