What you'll learn

Learn how to perform a scene with our acting short courses in Sydney!

Sydney Community College is proud to present this acting course in partnership with Darlo Drama.

Develop your acting skills, learn to connect with fellow actors on stage, and build your confidence! This acting course is designed to broaden your understanding of naturalistic acting and drama techniques to create convincing characters through performance.

The first few weeks of the course will explore acting techniques through drama games and improvisation exercises. Once you have received your script, you will work together with another acting student and learn the theatrical principles of listening and responding while performing a scene.
