Actors preparer Ivana Chubbuck, one of the most influential coaches, will be in São Paulo for the first time at the end of June. The visit marks two important moments: the launch of the new edition of his bestseller “The Power of the Actor” and the accomplishment of an intensive masterclass, on the 29th and 30th, at Theater Italy.

Chubbuck is a reference in Hollywood for his technique that combines behavioral psychology, mind science and storytelling. His approach has already shaped careers of names such as Halle Berry, Charlize Theron, Brad Pitt and Eva Mendes – stakes that not only successfully acted, but won important awards like the Oscars.

“My technique is about using your pain, your insecurities and your fears as a fuel to survive and win with it. Using them to seek, with intensity, what the character wants,” he explains to F5.

According to her, the method seeks to transform personal trauma into artistic tools. “I don’t want the actors to interpret defeated people, but to find the strength within themselves to create characters that fight, that are empowered. This is also a life lesson,” he says.

She believes that this emotional transformation, made with courage and depth, is what separates the great talents from merely technical. “The people I helped to become stars and win prizes were those who dare to enter dark places and use it as a weapon.”

The course that will be held in São Paulo is seen by her as an opportunity to connect with the Brazilian scenario, which Chubbuck accompanies enthusiastically. “I want to know the new talents that are emerging in Brazil and review some of the actors I have already trained,” he says. Among the names are Isis Valverde, Reynaldo Gianecchini and Agatha Moreira. When asked about national films she likes, she responds with humor: “Everything my actors did.”

The preparer says she is excited to explore the city. In addition to the professional agenda, she intends to dive into the local culture. “I researched Brazilian plastic artists and designers, I want to find art pieces as I did in Rio – people in Los Angeles love it. And of course, food! I’m in love with gastronomy and I want to make the most of it,” he says.

For her, the strength of her technique is precisely to touch something universal. “I have already given workshops in completely different cultures and realized that we all have the same fears. All are trying to grow, change and meet through art. This unites all artists from anywhere in the world.”

Eva Mendes, for example, carried the book “The Power of the Actor” to all sets and called him his “Bible.” Charlize Theron, according to Ivana, worked folded between movies and rehearsals. “The work ethics of these people is exceptional. They study, err, risk. It’s not just talent – it’s determined.”

With the passage through Sao Paulo, Ivana states that he intends to continue his mission to form actors who not only represent emotions, but live them with truth. “Art is not about opinion, it’s about being. And Brazil has a powerful artistic soul. I’m ready to surprise me.”
