Places for Participants and Active Auditors - 12 ACTORS ONLY.

18+

Actors do scene/monologue work and Active Auditors observe and learn from watching scene/monologue work. Both participants and auditors do practical acting and success mindset cultivating exercises that the whole class are involved in.

“I like to instill in actors that there most cherished dreams are indeed possible, when we get into alignment with our true self that loves and accepts us, and when we have the self discipline to do the necessary ongoing work to develop and grow our craft to its highest potential”

Ivana Chubbuck has created one of the great and renowned acting techniques that actors can use to enhance their performances. This 12-step technique, which is explored in the revised version of “The Power of the Actor: The Chubbuck Technique,” has been used by stars such as Halle Berry, Brad Pitt, Eva Mendes, Charlize Theron, Sharon Stone, Travis Fimmel, Pamela Anderson, John Voight, Sylvester Stallone, just to name a few.

In a safe, nurturing environment, actors will learn:

* how to work on a role from a sense of joyful process rather than the perfectionism of having to "get it right"

* that any actor can go through periods of disbelief (POD) when they are tackling a difficult role and that this can be embraced rather than judged.

* how to choose objectives that are primal and simple.

* how to drive that need to win from your body rather than your intellect

* how to turn a person, place, thing or event mentioned in the script into a living, emotionally connected experience

* how to create emotional and sexual chemistry with your scene partner

* tools to cultivate the mindset of a successful, happy and empowered working actor and to challenge disempowering beliefs

* the importance of committed voice and speech

* the importance of physical language - gesture, doings, destination

* and much more.
