Ivana Chubbuck, the legendary acting coach, came to Israel to train small groups of Israeli actors and conduct masterclasses for the general public, sharing secrets and tips from her technique used by the world’s biggest stars. Ari Davidovich and Hypermedia Productions, with the support of SHAHAM – the Israeli Actors’ Association, were behind the initiative to bring Chubbuck to Israel.
Chubbuck has visited Israel several times, offering special workshops on mastery and control in the “Chubbuck Technique,” a unique acting method she developed, becoming a top-tier approach in advanced acting schools worldwide. The technique places the actor’s emotional experience at the forefront of the performance and leverages their personal story for artistic breakthroughs. Chubbuck’s visits to Israel draw significant interest, and her workshop spots fill up quickly.
In 2009, Chubbuck visited Israel for the first time, launching her bestselling book, “The Power of the Actor” (Asia Publishing). She has returned several times, holding workshops that have become a hallmark of advanced acting studies in Israel. Today, several acting groups in Israel train actors using her method.
Ivana Chubbuck is the founder and director of the Ivana Chubbuck Studio, which she established over two decades ago. Over the years, she has become one of the most sought-after acting coaches in Hollywood and has been dubbed “The American Stanislavski.” Among the actors she has worked with are Halle Berry, Brad Pitt, Charlize Theron, Jake Gyllenhaal, James Franco, Sylvester Stallone, Kate Hudson, Jon Voight, Elisabeth Shue, Jim Carrey, Jared Leto, Eva Mendes, and many others, some of whom have won Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys, Tony Awards, and numerous international prizes.
