OVERVIEW

This class is an introduction to the 12 steps of Ivana Chubbuck’s Technique. It gives actors an understanding of the technique and its practical application to text. Through exercises and scene work, actors new to this technique will gain a thorough grounding in this innovative approach. (Actors who already have experience in this technique should see our Scene Study Classes).

Classes are led by teachers trained and certified by Ivana Chubbuck.

PROGRAM CONTENT

The Chubbuck Technique uses behavioural science and psychology to discover the ‘who am I’ of the character. Ivana's work goes to the source of what motivates human behaviour, especially our need to win. It is a system that demands an actor make fearless choices, and empowers them to use their own pain to win their scene objective.

This approach demands fearlessness of an actor in order that they reveal characters at their most dynamic and inspiring. Great people in life become so through their desire to win and a willingness to overcome personal and external obstacles. It is this quality that impels audiences to films and theatre - it offers us an opportunity to see life at its most compelling. We are inspired by stories not for mirroring life (rarely they do), but for offering us a glimpse of triumph in the face of adversity, redemption from past pain, or catharsis evolving from anguish.

ALLOCATED CLASSES

We take great care to ensure all actors are working in a challenging environment. To accommodate levels of professional experience and training, all new applicants to the studio meet with the Creative Director before being allocated the appropriate class.
