More about the beginner's acting journey

Our beginner's 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.

As an intro class attendee you will have the opportunity to sign up to Level One with a special discount offered at the end of class.
