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.
