Chubbuck Technique

The Chubbuck Technique has been developed by the American acting coach Ivana Chubbuck, which she epxlains in her book THE POWER OF THE ACTOR. This acting technique – based on the teachings of Stanislavski - is the only acting technique that is scientifically based on psychology and human behavioural science.  Many international A-list actors, such as Brad Pitt, Charlize Theron, Travis Fimmel, Halle Berry, Jared Leto, Jake Gyllenhaal, James Franco, Thure Lindhardt, etc... have been able to build successful careers by using this effective technique.

The Essence of the Chubbuck Technique

People are inspired by others who, despite major obstacles in their lives, don't give up and still go for their life's purpose. These are our heroes, our role models, who give us hope. People who don't take responsibility for their lives and sit by the wayside soon bore us. So with that premise, actors create dynamic characters who with their whole being (emotions, behavior and thinking) do everything they can to overcome the obstacles in their lives and achieve their life purpose. It is the "trying to (over)win" that typifies the Chubbuck Technique and how this acting technique differs from all other acting methods.  So, thanks to the Chubbuck Technique, actors portray characters who want to be in their power and in doing so they inspire the audience to do the same.

12 Tools

The Chubbuck Technique uses 12 tools which help the actor to better understand their character and help them to personalize their role by using their own personal experiences, pain and needs. Besides the 12 tools, the Chubbuck Technique teaches the actor how to access their deeper emotions, how to create chemistry with their scene partner, how to create organic fear, how to understand the mind of a serial killer or psychopath and how to portray a character that is intoxicated or drugged without the actual use of alcohol or drugs.
