The Chubbuck Technique · Hackney Central & Zoom
Not just on the days it arrives. On a wet Tuesday. On a tape at 5am with pages you have never seen. I teach the twelve steps in order, so you have a process you can rely on every time a script lands.

Join the online waitlist →Why it works
Every actor here says the opposite happened. The structure is what lets you stop thinking on the floor. You make the decisions before you speak, and then you can let go and surprise yourself.
“I’ve noticed myself be a lot more activated and animated in my performances, from a very real place… it feels like play.”
Harrison Booth, week sixHarrison Booth — Six weeks, one to one. From overthinking to something that feels like play.
The technique
Different agents. Different studios. One technique. Ivana Chubbuck created it, and in 2021 she invited me to bring it to London. I have been teaching it here ever since.
It is not about feeling more. It is about using what you feel to go after what your character wants.
Before you start
Thirty minutes with me before your first session — your training, your career so far, and most importantly your goals. I choose your scene from that call. You do not walk into the room blind, and neither do I.
