About this event
The Chubbuck Technique is a 12-step acting technique, based on psychology, behavioural science and cultural anthropology. If one is going to recreate true human behaviour, one must go to the source of what truly makes people do what they do. Ivana has a profound insight into the human psyche and teaches you how to replicate the core primal needs of a character, based on your own personal life experiences. This creates a human depiction that is raw, gritty, present and dynamic. The essence of the Chubbuck Technique is not to use emotional pain as an end in itself, but rather to "use emotional pain, fears and insecurities as a fuel to overcome your obstacles and win your goal." This thought process can be useful both for success in script analysis, and to help you grow on a personal level. For this masterclass, there will be two different ways to take part, so please read the following carefully. Observe: Through watching, listening and participating, it becomes clearer how to use the 12-step Chubbuck Technique. The masterclass includes several transformative exercises, in which everyone in the audience will actively participate in. As active observers, you will learn: • How to create palpable chemistry with anyone. • A powerful technique that helps you understand how to play a genuine killer. • How to take the victim out of being a victim if you are playing the one being killed. • How to truly feel high or drunk with exercises that give you the authentic feeling of being on those substances. • How to organically play fear. • The Emotional Diary exercise which quickly gets you to knowing what your deepest triggering emotions are. And so much more. Participants: 16 professional actors will participate after being selected on the basis of their CV and showreel. Some weeks prior to the masterclass, chosen participants will be assigned a scene (and a partner) which they will need to prepare and rehearse on the basis of the 12 tools explained in her book: 'The Power of The Actor'. In addition, you will be required to rehearse with your scene partner a minimum of 6 to 8 hours before the masterclass and also 3 to 4 hours on the evening of the workshop. If you wish to be considered as a Participant, please purchase a ticket and select Participant consideration on the booking form.
