Ivana Chubbuck´s acclaimed 12 Step Technique centers upon a deep and subtle psychological approach to a role, using the actors own feelings, not as an end result, but as a way to empower the character’s goals. Halle Berry has said that “Ivana Chubbuck is the premiere acting coach of the twenty-first century. Her astute knowledge of the human condition, coupled with her ability to translate that insight to her students, is remarkable. Ivana’s innovative methods of teaching both complements and rival those of the great teachers of the past. Her philosophy transcends what we once knew about the art, and forces actors through their own catharsis to discover authentic ways of bringing the complexity of life to the screen and stage. Under Ivana’s tutelage, the course of my career and depth of my work have changed dramatically.” Ivana herself put it best, remarking that “My technique teaches actors how to win.”
