Dubai, known for its glitz, glamour, and the merging of cultures, has just welcomed an extraordinary addition to its vibrant entertainment scene. The Chubbuck Technique, a transformative acting method that has shaped the performances of Hollywood elites such as Halle Berry and Brad Pitt, has arrived in the bustling city. This groundbreaking technique, brought to UAE by the visionary Claire Chubbuck, promises to revolutionize the way actors in Dubai approach their craft.
In an exclusive collaboration with Zara Stars Productions, Claire Chubbuck orchestrated a master class workshop in Dubai, unveiling the secrets of the Chubbuck Technique to a group of elite actors hungry for artistic growth. Over the course of three intensive days, participants immersed themselves in the transformative experience guided by Claire Chubbuck. The workshop aimed not only to hone acting skills but also to empower individuals through the profound connection between humanity and the arts.
“I have been waiting for the right time for Chubbuck to make its way to Dubai,” Ivana Chubbuck exclaimed, her passion for empowering actors evident. “Claire changed lives there, bringing empowerment of humanity through the arts.”
Claire Chubbuck’s dedication and innovation recently earned her and her collaborator, Sofia D’Marco, the prestigious Visionary Award at the acclaimed New York Cinefest. Their groundbreaking work in Cathartic Realism, which explores the depths of human emotions through raw and authentic storytelling, left audiences captivated. At this year’s festival, they premiered three exceptional films: “In My Skin,” a world premiere that left audiences in delight, “Blueberry,” a New York Premiere that left the audience in tears, and “How I lost my virginity,” which left them in shock.
Gustavo Sampaio, the Festival Director of New York Cinefest, showered praise upon the dynamic duo, stating, “Claire Chubbuck and Sofia D’Marco are great indie filmmakers, having completed a number of high quality films with memorable stories and performances. But even more impressive, is their courage to dig deep into their hearts and tell personal stories, rooted in emotional trauma and pain that serve to inspire others with a new process of using art to heal that they call Cathartic Realism.”
Adrian Perez, CEO of the Lonely Wolf Film Festival, added, “Chubbuck’s ‘Cathartic Realism’ offers a fresh and necessary perspective in contemporary cinema, challenging us to confront difficult realities while affirming the cathartic potential of storytelling.”
The Chubbuck Technique, renowned for its transformative power, has been embraced by industry luminaries worldwide. A-list celebrities such as Halle Berry, Aubrey Plaza, and Sylvester Stallone credit their extraordinary performances to the teachings of the Chubbuck Technique, solidifying its reputation as a game-changer in the world of acting. The Chubbuck Studio, a world-renowned acting school, serves as a bastion of this technique, nurturing aspiring actors and sending master teachers around the globe to introduce the cathartic acting method to diverse cultural and artistic communities.
Claire says, “The actors in Dubai were incredible, taking to the difficultly of the Chubbuck Technique with ease. I love them so much. Acting is difficult, and good acting is magical. This is why I enjoy teaching so much, and why I love directing. I think my films are successful because I focus on the acting.”
Now, Zara Stars Productions, in collaboration with Claire Chubbuck, has successfully concluded a three-day workshop focused on Ivana Chubbuck’s renowned 12-Step Technique. Attendees of the event were enthralled by the content and delivery, universally praising the transformative experience.
