Beck Academy of Dramatic Art is a London based acting studio with a singular approach to teaching acting. The basis of the acting training is BEAT or the Beck Emotional Access Technique.

BEAT, defined as a holistic approach to teaching acting, aims to disengage the actor’s emotional connection to ‘things’ in their own world thus freeing them up to attach those emotions to ‘things’ in the character’s world. By ‘things’ we mean circumstances, objects, places and people.

BEAT is a fully developed, dynamic and integrated approach to training actors that feels more like a creative re-awakening rather than a method of acting. BEAT actors are able to ‘enter’ character instinctively. This is the goal of the technique. They are trained to feel, think, move, sound and feel like the character they seek to embody.

In addition to training in BEAT, the Actors Door Studio offers classes in Voice, Movement and Screen Acting to compliment the actor’s training.
