About Level ONE
What is the Darlo Drama difference?
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 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, feel more comfortable in their own skin, and step out of their “9 to 5” heads and awaken their creativity.
