Classes begin February 2: technique used by actors such as Jim Carrey, Brad Pitt and Charlize Theron
An acting workshop led by Adam Davenport will be held in Prague on February 2, 3 and 4. The technique to be learned is that of Ivana Chubbuck, which has been used by some of the biggest names in film, including Jim Carrey, Halle Berry, Brad Pitt and Charlize Theron.
Based on the international bestseller “The Power of The Actor” by renowned acting teacher Ivana Chubbuck, the Chubbuck Technique helps actors create characters out of their personal needs and life experiences, making it easier for actors to connect with their characters on a deeper level. For example, the experience of pain leads us to take proactive actions to overcome it. With this technique, actors use their personal pain, insecurities, traumas, and fears to pursue the goal of the character they are playing. This makes the character more believable and recognizable to the audience.
The course is held at the Vivid Casting Studio and can be attended for 1, 2 or 3 days. Topics covered include internal object analysis, action, the moment before action, location, the fourth wall, actions, internal monologue, preceding circumstances, and “let it happen. The course is also available to acting schools and film and theatre festivals.
