Who We Are.
At Beck Academy of Dramatic Art (BADA), we provide transformative actor training grounded in holistic development – training the body, voice, and emotional core together as one instrument. Our part-time, conservatory-style programs are designed to fit around real lives while delivering world-class, professional results.
We’re not here to teach acting tips and tricks. We’re here to help you unlock truth.
Our Method: BEAT™ & Meisner-Inspired Training
Our signature BEAT™ Method – Beck Emotional Access Technique – was created by director Fay Beck to enable actors to access their emotions in order to fuel performance. it draws on principles in Neuroscience and Psychology. Our particular focus is on the connection between Emotions and Identity helping actors step safely into the emotional world of characters with focus, self control and intuition.
Our roots lie in the Meisner Technique. Fay’s knowledge of the Meisner is astute and is often described by her students as a ‘Meisner Master’.
Unlike popular acting programs, we train the actor’s full system: voice, movement, emotional access, and screen/stage performance — all integrated for deep transformation in the actor.
