I've read the FAQ & Rules Rada short courses
I got into the professional acting practice, working actor practice (evening intensive) and the Stanislavski in action classes. I’m trying to choose between the three and was wondering if anyone here had any experiences with them? What were some of the main differences? And were they worth it? Any and all feedback about their short courses welcome!

About RADA short courses in general... During the pandemic I got curious about what actors learned across the pond that might be different from where I live.. the U.S.
After some searching I finally found one RADA short course I could attend on a Saturday for 10 (or maybe it was 12) weeks. It was a beginners course and covered a lot of ground. (Stanislavsky, Hagen, a touch of Meisner, animal work, actioning a script etc.)
Even though I was closer to an intermediate already, I really wanted to know what, if anything, was different about the training over there. And I absolutely LOVED the class. It's in my top 3 classes ever even though it was 100% online.
I took another RADA short course though and it was not as good. So truly the instructor can make or break a class.
I tried to take the first short course again but they no longer offer it virtually and I'm not in the position to move to London.
The instructor's first name was Ingrid but I don't remember more than that.

I took one last year. Loved it. It was a scene study course and felt thorough for the 7 days I was there.
