Learn the craft of acting in a social, enjoyable, confidence inspiring way.
An excellent and enjoyable way to improve presentation and public speaking skills.
A wonderful creative outlet and opportunity to explore performance.
History: Darlo Drama has been established since 1990 and for the past twenty years we have been inspiring students with our positive and dynamic approach. We have an excellent reputation for creating a supportive and enjoyable environment for you to explore your creativity and build confidence.
Our classes are an affordable and ideal starting point to learn about acting. The emphasis of all our courses is practical, so the majority of class time is spent doing and experiencing.
Darlo Drama teachers are professional actors and directors, who are constantly bringing their experiences and enthusiasm to your class.
Fundamentals of Acting is a manageable course for those who want to explore the benefits of drama, but have busy lives.
The Fundamentals of Acting is made up of three Levels. Each course is ten weeks, for one night a week, building towards a performance at the end of each level.
There is no obligation to do all three Levels. If you have already completed a beginners course elsewhere, you can elect to join Level 2 or Level 3 pending availability.
