Acting at Darlo Drama: The Scene
Learn Acting for Beginners (Level 2) with our acting & drama courses in Sydney.
Sydney Community College is proud to present this course in partnership with Darlo Drama, which will extend your skills, connect to a partner and build your craft.

The first few weeks are spent exploring theatre and acting techniques through drama games and improvisation exercises. Once the scripts are handed out, you will be working with a scene partner and find out what happens on stage when someone talks back.
