In The Power of the Actor, a Los Angeles Times bestseller, premier acting teacher and coach Ivana Chubbuck reveals her cutting-edge technique, which has launched some of the most successful acting careers in Hollywood. The first book from the instructor who has taught Charlize Theron, Brad Pitt, Elisabeth Shue, Djimon Hounsou, and Halle Berry, The Power of the Actor guides you to dynamic and effective results. For many of today’s major talents, the Chubbuck Technique is the leading edge of acting for the twenty-first century. Ivana Chubbuck has developed a curriculum that takes the theories of the acting masters, such as Stanislavski, Meisner, and Hagen, to the next step by utilizing inner pain and emotions, not as an end in itself, but rather as a way to drive and win a goal. In addition to the powerful twelve-step process, the book takes well-known scripts, both classic and contemporary, and demonstrates how to precisely apply Chubbuck’s script-analysis process. The Power of the Actor is filled with fascinating and inspiring behind-the-scenes accounts of how noted actors have mastered their craft and have accomplished success in such a difficult and competitive field.

Danny And The Deep Blue Sea Free Pdf
AS a Bronx variation on 'Beauty and the Beast,' John Patrick Shanley's 'Danny and the Deep Blue Sea' could be called 'The Beast and the Beast.' A man and a woman, both lonely outcasts, meet in a bar. He is violent and possibly homicidal, she is tormented and possibly suicidal; each is transformed by the love of the other.
'Danny' had its professional premiere in March at the Humana Festival of New Plays at the Actors Theater of Louisville. It has reopened with the same cast and director at Circle in the Square Downtown, as a co-production with the Circle Repertory Company. New York theatergoers now have the opportunity to see the vital, collaborative performance of June Stein and John Turturro as the bar-crossed lovers. Here, as in Louisville, the play is the equivalent of sitting at ringside watching a prize fight that concludes in a loving embrace. At its core, 'Danny' remains a factitious fairy tale.
Performed without intermission, it is too long (85 minutes) to be approached as a vignette, and it is too dramatically underdeveloped to be regarded as a full-length double portrait. The characters are superficially examined and their simultaneous transformation puts a strain on the audience's credulity. In contrast, a play such as Sam Shepard's 'Fool for Love,' dealing with related material, creates its own complete magic circle.
At the same time, 'Danny' is a vivid actor's exercise. Scenes could be used as audition pieces for many seasons to come, although it is difficult to imagine performers more attuned to the roles than Miss Stein and Mr. Turturro.
Introduced several seasons ago as a waif in Beth Henley's one-act, 'Am I Blue?,' Miss Stein, a director as well as an actress, now plays a street-wise urchin, desperate to be 'roman'ic.' Buffeted by parental abuse, she grasps for contact with another - any other - human. Alternataly defensive and combative, she forces her new companion to submit with a barrage of lightning-quick inside jabs.
In response, Mr. Turturro, an astonishing newcomer, delivers a sequence of knockout psychological punches - but is unable to deck his resilient opponent. He is frighteningly real as he offers an imaginative impersonation of a man who describes himself accurately as someone 'jumping out of my skin.'
Surly, snarling, with a wild gleam in his black-rimmed eyes, he is larger and funnier than life. He is a creature who can shout at the top of his voice, 'I'm peaceful!,' and make us laugh. His acting seems totally intuitive and never reveals its technique. Encountering Mr. Turturro in a bar, seething by himself over a pitcher of beer, smart men and women would immediately head for the exit. Tough, contrary little Miss Stein draws up a chair at his table - and outfoxes him.
Together, under the taut direction of Barnet Kellman, the two actors touch each other's emotional antennae. Mr. Turturro also goes a long distance in convincing us of his character's suddenly acquired sensitivity. Even as a poet in the rough, he retains a savage, animalistic air, so much so that it is a surprise to learn that he is a trained actor and a 1983 graduate of the Yale School of Drama.
While expressing admiration for Miss Stein and Mr. Turturro and for Mr. Kellman as director, one must acknowledge Mr. Shanley as the creator of this odd urban couple. He choreographed them in this self-described 'Apache dance,' a vicariously theatrical if artificial pas de deux.
