• Darlo Drama is Australia’s leading acting school for adult beginners and we have proudly been delivering courses since 1992.
• We are specialists in adult education, and we understand that our students come from a range of backgrounds, experiences and learning styles.
• We know that most adults who come to a beginners acting course may feel nervous and apprehensive, so all of our approaches are gentle, supportive and encouraging.
• Acting is a wonderful way for adults to build confidence, to feel more comfortable in their own skin, and to step out of their “9 to 5” heads and to awaken their creativity.

 Our Beginners Acting Course Journey aims to develop and extend on acting skills across three levels of training. Each level is a pre-requisite to the next, with distinct learning outcomes which build upon each other across a methodical and crafted learning pathway.

Level One – The Monologue
Learn the basics of acting, play drama games, improvise, create a character and perform a monologue 

Level Two - The Scene
Work with a partner to develop relationship on stage, listen and respond to evolve a performance, and perform with a partner in a scene

Level Three – The Story
Explore the arc of a story, develop a variety of characters, and perform multiple roles in a range of performance texts.

Whilst you can complete the three levels in your own time, the skills of acting are best developed where you complete all levels of the Beginners Acting Course Journey within a 12 to 18 month period. This allows for the ongoing and consistent development of skills and knowledge over time. If you have previous experience you may be eligible to enter into the program at a higher level.
