The following actors have worked with Ivana using her technique Halle Berry, Brad Pitt, Charlize Theron, Jake Gyllenhaal, Kate Hudson, and Jon Voight.

The Course
The 12 acting tools will help you to dig into your psyche, allowing for discovery and a way to expose and channel all those wonderful demons that we all have. Your dark-side, your traumas, your beliefs, your priorities, your fears, what drives your ego, what makes you feel shame and what initiates your pride are your colors, your paints to draw with as an actor. You’ll learn that the obstacles of your character’s life are not meant to be accepted but to be overcome, in heroic proportions. In other words, the Chubbuck technique teaches an actor how to win.
