Intro to Chubbuck
With instructor Jerri Tubbs

This technique maintains a focus on producing and nurturing working actors in a rigorous professional environment. It is our mission to empower our students with the tools to become successful and to make dynamic, empowered choices in their work. Students will break down the text according to “The Power of the Actor” – 12 steps, and all of the emotional exercises in the book and then apply it to scene work. The goal is to get every student to learn how to be proactive and win an objective in the scene while creating a dynamic performance. While there is no filming element to this class, the technique is designed especially through the use of inner monologue and inner objects to be captured, truthfully for the camera.
