ABOUT KATE JAGGARD
ACTOR & CERTIFIED CHUBBUCK TEACHER
Kate Jaggard is an Australian actor, creative producer, and officially certified Chubbuck Technique teacher, trained at the renowned Ivana Chubbuck Studio in Los Angeles under the mentorship of Ivana Chubbuck — one of the most influential acting coaches in the world, whose clients include Brad Pitt, Charlize Theron, Ryan Gosling, Halle Berry, Jim Carrey, and Pamela Anderson, among many of today’s most celebrated screen actors.
With over a decade of rigorous, high-level training, Kate has immersed herself in the world’s most respected acting methodologies, including Chubbuck, Meisner, Stanislavski, Adler, and the Susan Batson technique. Her work has been shaped by leading international teachers, casting directors, and filmmakers, reflecting a deep, ongoing commitment to excellence and mastery of craft.
Represented by RWA, Kate’s screen credits include the feature films Great White and Bosch & Rockit, the Stan original series Eden, and numerous national campaigns including Crown Casino, Ray White, and more. She has also performed the title role in the musical theatre production of Calamity Jane and appeared in music videos for Royel Otis.
As the founder of Actors Room Byron Bay, Kate has created a thriving creative hub that brings world-class acting training to regional Australia.

Now teaching both in-person in Byron Bay and via Zoom, Kate’s work is grounded in the Chubbuck Technique — a powerful, results-driven approach that transforms personal obstacles into dynamic, compelling performances. Her teaching goes beyond emotional access, guiding actors to channel their experiences with clarity, purpose, and strength.
Kate is known for her intuitive, direct, and deeply supportive teaching style. She works with actors at all levels — from emerging talent to working professionals — helping them break through limitations, elevate their craft, and create real momentum in their careers.
