“The difference between the Chubbuck Technique and other past techniques is that I teach actors how to use their emotions, not as a goal to get to but as the means to reach an objective. My Technique teaches actors how to win. And the impulse to win is more primal than to feel.”  IVANA CHUBBUCK 
 

  "The Chubbuck Technique gives structure, purpose and meaning to an actor's creative chaos. This Technique generously empowers ALL involved.” Doris

I TEACH the Chubbuck Technique using Ivana Chubbuck’s book: “The Power of the Actor” as my shining light. During classes each actor learns step by step how to apply this Technique to the scenes that I ask them to prepare. The scenes are taken from films and series such as: A Promising Young Woman, The Godfather, The Next Three Days, When Harry Met Sally, Rachel’s Getting Married, Macbeth, In Bruges, Bombshell, A History of Violence, Notting Hill, Oppenheimer, The Accused, Kissing Jessica Stein, The Fault in Our Stars, Tutto Chiede Salvezza......
