The power of the actor

The acting technique that took Brad Pitt and Halle Berry to the Oscars is now arriving in Brazil.

A Los Angeles Times bestseller, The Power of the Actor has been published in more than ten countries and reveals how the Chubbuck Technique has launched and enhanced the careers of great artists. Brad Pitt, Jim Carrey, Charlize Theron, Eva Mendes, Catherine Keener, Halle Berry, Jared Leto, Jessica Alba, Gal Gadot, Jon Voight, Meg Ryan, Terrence Howard, and Travis Fimmel are some of the artists who have received awards after being trained by Ivana Chubbuck.

Ivana grounded her technique in the traditions of acting instruction—dating back to Constantin Stanislavski, Sanford Meisner, and Uta Hagen—and in examples from classic and contemporary texts. She drew on inspiring stories about how notable actors mastered their craft and achieved success. Her effectiveness lies in working directly with human behavior, at its core. It's not just about learning to act, but about drawing on contemporary theories from behavioral science and psychology to transform pain and trauma into victory. It's about turning failure into success. It's about empowerment.

The Chubbuck Technique has also been used to help train executives, including many on the U.S. Fortune 500. By developing emotional accessibility, professionals are empowered to take risks, make bolder decisions, deal with challenges, and are encouraged to pursue achievements.
