Presence versus Emotion
Acting, 2026-03-02
A performance when it deserves to be considered great or important, it is always entirely made up of the actor [themselves], and entirely achieved by what [they have] left in the dressing room before [they] came out in front of the camera…. essentially there is no such thing as becoming another character by putting on a lot of makeup. You may need to put on a lot of makeup but what you’re really doing is undressing yourself… so I look for those kinds of people. - Orson Welles Orson Welles is not speaking about an actor walking out of the dressing room in an emotional state
Improv: Monica’s Perspective
Acting, 2025-10-29
When I first signed up for Improv class, I almost talked myself out of it. I thought that Improv was something that only professional actors would do, or something for bold people who thrive on being the centre of attention. It meant comedy sketches and quick thinking without a plan, and this, for someone like me […]
Distance: Finding connection through Stanislavski’s animal exercise
Acting, 2025-06-09
At the start of the month, I initially chose to work on a cockatoo. I was drawn to their boldness and unpredictable bursts of energy, and to embody them properly, I began studying their anatomy. How their musculoskeletal system was wired, and how I could map it onto my own body. Like most birds, cockatoos hold themselves in a squat-like posture: knees bent, forearms folded tightly against the upper arms, wrists tucked inward. But with my chronic knee pain, I quickly realized I couldn’t sustain that stance. This physical limitation surprised me with its emotional weight — as if, wit
Spontaneity
Acting, 2025-06-05
We all want to experience spontaneity. But why? What is it about spontaneity that makes it so desirous? In Class 4 of May Foundations, students likely experienced or witnessed a moment that was coming close to pure spontaneity. Everyone stood individually on stage for almost ten minutes practising, first finding, and then strengthening their concentration. […]
The Freedom of a Clean Slate
Blog, 2025-03-31
A highly gifted actress refused to recognize the differences between her mannerisms and her reality. It took over ten years for her to be able to see it. Once she was able to recognize it,  her acting showed remarkable progress. It’s striking the extent of which habits of expression are connected with the difficulties of […]
Opening up to feeling
Blog, 2025-02-25
In every actor’s instrument class of Foundations, at some point, the focus moves to opening up to feelings. So… why focus on opening up to feelings? and what is it we do to accomplish that? Opening up to feelings is not about being randomly emotional. Opening to feelings is accessing your individuality, your uniqueness, your […]
Acting No Matter What
Blog, 2024-10-29
Over the years, people walk into our method acting classes as one person and leave as another. Why is that? Acting is an art. Unless you are solely focused on selling it, it presents itself as an opportunity, as all arts do, as a means for self-discovery. When you enter the training, it’s helpful to […]
Foundations Online and in-Studio
Blog, 2023-12-05
Hello Everyone! As we move closer to the new year I’d like to update you on some changes to Foundations Online and in-Studio. Studio Foundations and Theatrical Improvisation Those of you who have studied with me, know that I am heavily influenced by the work of Stanislavski and his focus on the physicality of presence. […]
The Relationship Between Feelings and Spontaneity
Blog, 2023-10-02
A spontaneous performance is the goal we are working towards. Like the exceptional person who is able to flow with life, the exceptional actor flows with the scene. Spontaneity in each moment. Spontaneity does not live and is not accessed, in the intellectual sphere. It lives in the world of feelings. In Foundations, in Expression […]
Finding Fulfillment
Acting, 2023-05-31
Fulfillment isn’t something we achieve but rather something that we experience from moment to moment.  Every art offers that possibility and most, if not all people drawn to the arts are looking for that fulfillment. Even if someone is simply drawn to the art of acting by the desire for fame, within that desire is […]
The Audience
Acting, 2023-05-03
The audience is the most revered member of the theatre. Without an audience, there is no theatre. Every technique learned by the actor, every curtain and flat on the stage, every careful analysis by the director, every coordinated scene, is for the enjoyment of the audience. They are our guests, fellow players, and the last […]
Self Consciousness and the Camera
Acting, 2021-02-23
An actor needs an audience. If an actor doesn’t have an audience, then the camera must replace that void. The audience, or the camera, provides a formality, a structure, that gives the actor permission to leave the area of “comfortable and casual.” It’s the formality of that environment that the nerves of self consciousness are […] The post Self Consciousness and the Camera appeared first on Actorium.
The Stake of Truth
Acting, 2021-02-14
Foundations class is the heart of Actorium’s training. In this class we use the term: the stake of truth. Truth because, to the degree that you are able to work authentically as yourself, to that same degree you will be able to work authentically in your acting. Not all acting styles, or actors, are interested […] The post The Stake of Truth appeared first on Actorium.
Super Task
Acting, 2021-01-12
When you act, you must have a fire in your gut. It’s hidden. It’s far below the surface, but it is always there. A fire. You must sit with the burn. You must stand with the burn. You must speak with the burn. You must listen with the burn. Whether it is comedy or drama, […] The post Super Task appeared first on Actorium.
Individuality: It’s Going to Cost You
Acting, 2020-12-24
I’m very ambivalent about drama teachers and the classes that people go to. I think people’s instincts are crushed by bad drama teaching. I’ve watched it happen…It’s so often that the people who are actually the best are the ones who are thrown out of drama school because they’re idiosyncratic. They’re peculiar. They don’t fit […] The post Individuality: It’s Going to Cost You appeared first on Actorium.
Dialogue Class
Acting, 2020-12-16
We practice speaking and listening. We don’t practice conversing. We practice nothing else but speaking and listening. Nothing else but that simple back and forth of communication. It is a conversation with no subject. But the first thing that happens when two people speak and listen with no subject of conversation is someone will start […] The post Dialogue Class appeared first on Actorium.
Overcoming Shyness
Blog, 2020-12-09
Acting is an art of expression. And though we don’t train to focus on feeling (as feeling is a result and not an action) the truth is, the deeper a person can experience feeling, the better the acting. But experiencing feeling is hard. When you feel, people can see more of you. They may see […] The post Overcoming Shyness appeared first on Actorium.
Humour
Acting, 2020-12-04
The ability to find humour in a script is easily one of the most important skills an actor can have. It’s humour that differentiates the maudlin from the deeply beautiful. It’s humour that ends the self indulgent drama and gives us the freedom of realism. And it’s humour that makes an audience fully engaged and […] The post Humour appeared first on Actorium.
