Attending 'acting school' or 'drama school' can be a transformative experience for students, whether they are children or adults. Acting classes provide a structured environment where students can learn the craft of acting, build confidence, and explore themselves creatively.

 

For some, acting school paves the way to a successful career in the performing arts industry, as actors, entertainers, and musical theatre performers, as well as in artistic, auxiliary and administrative roles behind the scenes in theatre and film productions. 

​

Here’s how we at Perform Australia can help you reach your potential as an actor. 

​

Comprehensive Training
At Perform Australia, we offer offer a rigorous curriculum designed to develop all aspects of an actor's skill set. Through children's programs, we aim to teach age-appropriate performance skills through a curriculum developed by actors and educators. In our adults' programs, you will be lead by our industry tutors into a deeper experience of what it means to be an actor, whether your focus is stage or screen. Adult students can choose from a range of leisure or accredited courses.

​

Professional Mentorship
One of the greatest advantages of drama school is access to experienced industry professionals. Teachers, directors, and guest lecturers bring a wealth of knowledge and insights, guiding students through the nuances of performance and the realities of the acting world.

 

Building a Network

Acting school is a hub for connecting with peers, instructors, and industry insiders. These relationships often evolve into lasting professional networks, opening doors to auditions, collaborations, and career opportunities. Many of our students call Perform Australia their "second home" - it's a place where they feel they belong, learn, and nurture cherished friendships. 

​

Practical Experience
Performing in student productions and showcases is an invaluable way to put skills workshopped in the classroom into action! Most of our programs contain performance outcomes, whether that is a full theatrical production, a showing of work like scenes and monologues, or making a film.

 

Developing Discipline
The great actors make acting look easy... but in fact, there is much to be learned and experience to be gained with acting, just as there is with any artform. The demands of drama school instill discipline and resilience, essential qualities for navigating the competitive world of acting. Students of acting learn how to respond to feedback, manage stress and performance anxiety, master their physicality and voice, and stay focused during performance. 

​

At Perform Australia, our goal is to nurture your ability as a performer, and launch you as an actor - whether that's to a profession, or to a rewarding hobby. So if you are looking to become an actor, and are based in Canberra or Brisbane or nearby areas, we have acting classes for you.
