Diversity & Inclusion

Diversity Statement

Diverse actors
At Beck Academy of Dramatic Art our values thrive on the diversity of our students. We welcome adult learners from any cultural, racial, ethnic or socio-economic background. Our students thrive in our inclusive environment regardless of their gender, relationship status, sexual orientation, religious beliefs or political conviction.

Equality & diversity
We hold that in order to have a rich, diverse and powerful film, television and theatre industry, our courses must be accessible to everyone. Students from all backgrounds must be able to enrol in professional acting courses such as ours.

Diversity & Equality Policies

The Studio takes active steps to ensures equal opportunity and diversity is guaranteed through the following:

– Our Foundation Acting Course, Drop-in classes and entry point to our core training courses are open to all students interested in pursuing acting. Entry level courses and classes can be booked by attendees directly, without prior approval by us.
– Progression through our courses is based on merit, demonstrated commitment to the course and training, codified attendance criteria, effort and performance potential.
– Students will never be treated in a discriminatory manner and will not experience unfavourable treatment as a result of a physical, psychological, sexual, racial or socio-economic characteristic.
– Courses, classes and workshops are priced below market value to ensure they are accessible by a larger proportion of individuals especially by those from lower socio-economic backgrounds.
-We actively seek to promote a professional learning environment free from any form of prejudice, harassment and discrimination. The studio moves quickly and decisively to ensure this atmosphere is upheld by teachers and students alike.
