Each class normally runs from 3 to 3 ½ hours. You are expected to arrive at the beginning of each class and stay until the end, unless you get permission from the coach to leave.

This is determined by your resume. Extensive work and study background may start you in the Advanced level, although it is often beneficial to start in the Intro level as the technique is very specific to its terminology and process.

Remember, is it not about ego, which often is the most destructive element in growth of any sort. It is about what will make you a great working actor.

Basics and terminology are introduced and more fully explained and defined. A preparation to be in the Masterclass.

Arts can be thought in fixed increments of time. Everyone learns at their own pace, determined by both life and work experience.

Advancement is on an individual basis as determined by your coach. As soon as you are ready, you will be moved into the Next Level.

Your coach is the only one who can determine if you are ready to move into the Masterclass, and will be able to recommend you to attend Ivana Chubbuck's classes in LA with in her studio.

Why? The actors will be more available to the notes received from the coach if she is not called upon to explain the rudimentary elements of the technique. This in the only way that will allow the coach to get into the crux of the actor’s problem areas quickly.

The actor’s progress is exponential when the actor already knowns how to break down a script using the 12 Steps of The Chubbuck Technique. Ivana Cbubbuck has evolved this system over many years, and it has been refined to bring out the best in you as an actor in the most effective way.

Hard work and taking risks. Seems simple enough, but you would be surprised how many actors are lazy and fallback on safe choices – afraid to offend or not please the casting director/writer/producer/director. NEVER let fear drive your life! Making bold choices and being courageous are powerful tools for success in any business.
