Ian has adapted from these masters and incorporated his own methodology. His hands-on experience directing actors in his UK and Los Angeles film
A Happy New 2025 to all. Let's have a productive year.
This week actors performed a scene from the new movie Poor Things (with a likely BAFTA win for Emma Stone).
A great acting exercise on the use of physicality.
Over the last two months I have watched may films to vote for the BAFTA awards.
Last night I watched the new Emma Stone movie POOR THINGS. It is one of the oddest movies I have seen, yet intriguing, and visually stunning.
This stylized period dark comedy has themes of Frankenstein.
Emma Stone plays an English woman with the brain of a baby. She is incredible in this role and should win best actress.
Mark Ruffalo plays an English cad with great humour and acting skill. He could win best actor.
Willem Dafoe plays her deformed Scottish creator. Again, another great performance.
The only minor thing I would say about it is that it feels 20 minutes too long. But worth watching this piece of original art.
This movie is likely to win big at the BAFTAs and Oscars. It get's my vote.
Remember the words of Michael Caine
“It is more truthful, and more potent, to fight against the tears, only yielding after all those defence mechanisms are exhausted.”
So, don't "'post" what the character is feeling....feel it truthfully. The rest will follow.
The new acting course starts on the week of the 15th January. If you're interested in joining the evening classes give me a call. Happy New Year. 2024 could be your year.
Merry Christmas and a happy 2024 to all !!!

Congratulations to long time VernonActingMethod class member - Rich Brodie. At LAX on his way home after the premiere of the feature film - Ringside. It's happening for you in the US well deserved Rich!
- An actor needs the talent and range not just to play a natural character, but an extreme over the top unnatural character...
This week in class actors will be workshopping and performing various monologues from famous movies. Wedding Crashers to Beetlejuice! In other words from real, heartfelt, natural characters to extreme, fast talking, crazy ghosts!
In this week's class actors were put under a little stress. They had a last minute cold read thrust upon them... Then had to create their own scene with strict criteria. Happy to say they all rose to the challenge.
