introACTive DROP-IN ACTING CLASSES
For over two decades, ACA has offered drop-in classes for Sydney-siders. So dive into an impro drop-in class and cut loose, connect to yourself and the power of the camera, or learn and experience the essential dynamics of the process of acting. The world of acting offers everyone so much – there’s never been a better time to step out and explore your abilities and learn new skills and understandings.
You’ll feel the energy as you enter our performing arts facility, experience a show, or try any of the classes and courses on offer. Welcome to the introACTive program of possibilities.
