Had a brilliant experience doing Level 1: The Monologue. It was a great introduction to acting as an adult! My teacher was very knowledgeable and passionate about the craft and helped to establish a friendly, comfortable and supporting environment to gain confidence and develop acting skills, as well as getting to know each other in the class.

Darlo Drama is like my second home and I love doing classes here. I've learnt so much from taking Level 1, 2 and 3 and I'm excited to keep doing more. The teachers and other staff are so encouraging and made me feel so safe while also learning important skills. I never felt like my questions were silly and I felt supported every step of the way.

I did the 2-hour introduction class and it was so much fun. A great group of 17 people of all ages and walks of life playing various games and completing exercises to illustrate different aspects. I was so focused and in the moment of the task I forgot how nervous I was at the beginning. Big thanks to Sean for his ability to put everyone at ease and facilitate such a fun workshop.
