NOTE – Auditing prior to the start of the first class is highly recommended for this class.
Also, all students are expected to acquire and read Ivana Chubbuck’s, The Power of the Actor, prior to attending the 1st class.

With Ivana Chubbuck Studio-accredited teacher, Jerri Tubbs. Jerri has been a member of Ivana’s studio since 2007 in Los Angeles and we’re proud to have her at Drama Inc!

This class is open to students who are new to this technique and its vocabulary.

In October of 2004 Penguin Books published Ivana’s book, The Power of the Actor. The book became an instant success, spending weeks on the Los Angeles Times top ten Bestsellers List. For more than a year it was the number one selling book about acting at Barnes and Noble. Currently her book is being adopted for use as a textbook in many colleges and universities across the country, as well as having been translated into a number of languages around the world, including Spanish, Hebrew, Romanian, Italian, Danish, Russian and soon to be Chinese.

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.

In this class 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.

Want to work out with a scene partner and not worry about the “box” that we self-tape in…need a flexible schedule…or like a more private setting to get in some intense work? This is a great option for you! These appointments are open to everyone – we’ll take the skill level that you’re currently at, and build upon it. We’ll be working on how to break down a script and make choices that work for both you and the story being told. There’s no camera element to these sessions. You will choose a scene partner and a scene to rehearse and bring into your scheduled appointment time. Once there, you will perform, get notes, and the opportunity to play a second time. We will also delve into the different aspects of script analysis when needed – providing a review and strengthening of those core skills. These sessions are what you make of it – so be ready to bring it!
