As The Audience

This is an active, immersive experience — not a passive one. Observers in the audience take part in group exercises, follow scene work closely, and apply the same technique alongside participating actors. It’s a unique opportunity for actors, directors, casting professionals, and creatives to deepen their craft from a front-row seat.

• Participate in group emotional and chemistry – building exercises.
• Learn how to embody fear, addiction, and trauma organically.
• Follow scene analysis in real time with full access to all scenes.
• Apply Ivana’s 12 – Step Technique alongside performers.
• Directors, writers, and casting professionals gain tools to guide talent and shape performance

From Ivana Chubbuck

There’s much to learn as an observer at a Chubbuck Workshop, as so much of the 2 day event includes many interactive exercises that everyone experiences. For example, the whole group will participate in several exercises that enable the ability to easily and profoundly open up one’s emotional resources, in an effective way. These exercises create an easy and deep way to get to your true emotions. Everyone will also learn and experience how to create chemistry, learning the “Chemistry Exercise” This will be done individually, and as a group. Everyone will also do the exercise that helps understand how to play a killer organically, and how to take the victim out of being a victim if you are being the one killed. How to truly feel substances like alcohol and drugs with exercises that give you the true feelings in your body when on those substances. How to organically play fear, and so much more.

Also, each scene in the workshop also has been carefully picked for the participants to deal with another important aspect of what is necessary for a great performance. Everyone gets copies of each scene that will be performed, and everyone will participate in figuring it out alongside the actor participants— interactively listening and watching, asking questions such as “what would I use?” “what choice would I make here?” etc.

Throughout the Workshop, The 12 step Chubbuck Technique will become more clear on how to use it so as to establish a more successful result in the real world. Having had workshop/masterclasses internationally – Ivana has received emails from every country that, both participants and auditors alike have had huge advances in their careers by virtue of their participating in the workshop, coming from the actors AND the observers! Also script writers, directors, teachers and agents can benefit greatly from observing her workshop, not only because of its interactive nature, but because the very foundation of the technique is based on how to use pain as a fuel to overcome and WIN.

‘Use your personal pain as a fuel to overcome obstacles and go after a goal (objective) and WIN. This thought process can be useful for success in work and your life.
