Not just on the days it arrives. On a wet Tuesday. On a tape at 5am with pages you have never seen. I teach Ivana Chubbuck's twelve steps in order, so you know what to do first, second and third — on any script, under any deadline.
Registration opens on the 1st of every month for the following month's classes. The mailing list hears first — join it here.
That's what the name means. Step 12 is "let it go" — the point where the process is yours and you can run it on your own, at midnight, with a deadline and nobody to ask.
Most training is built to keep you coming back. This is built to make you self-sufficient. You'll know it's working when you stop needing me to tell you where to start.
He came to class and stayed three months. Studied the steps properly. In that time — completely off his own back — he booked a role on The Long Shadow for ITV.
We took the scenes into one-to-ones and spent hours on every layer: the analysis, the objectives, the personalisations, the emotional drive that makes it land for an audience. Then he went to set, and we spoke while he was there about the director's notes.
Since then: two feature films, three television shows, the West End alongside Bryan Cranston, and a first lead lined up straight after the play. These days we mostly spitball objectives and tactical shifts. He handles the rest.
Viewer note: The Long Shadow deals with sensitive subject matter connected to the Yorkshire Ripper case.
I don't take any credit for it. We worked together, but he put in the hours. He applied the steps, showed up, and did the work honestly.
RichThe steps give you the plan. The exercises give you the way. You put the time in. When you do, everything shifts.
Everything here is built on the same twelve steps. The difference is where you're starting from.
First Five: the Chubbuck Intro. The first five steps applied to a scene chosen for you, on your feet, in a room of six. Runs in the last two weeks of the month.
Start hereThe monthly class. Four sessions, six actors, a full hour on your scene every time. Blocks roll every month so the work builds instead of resetting.
See the monthly classOne to one, on Zoom or in person. I read your material and work out every character's journey before we start, so we go straight to the choices. New to Chubbuck? £100 for a first two-hour session.

Every actor here says the opposite happened. The structure is what lets you stop thinking on the floor. You make the decisions before you speak, and then you can let go and surprise yourself.
I've noticed myself be a lot more activated and animated in my performances, from a very real place… it feels like play.

Harrison Booth, week six. The same actor, four weeks apart.
Ivana runs twelve actors and six scenes across three hours — around twenty minutes each, and that's how the technique has been taught in Los Angeles for forty years.
I run six actors and three scenes across the same three hours. Same technique, half the room, a full hour on your scene with your partner, every session. It's the only reason the price isn't lower: six people can't subsidise twenty.
Thirty minutes with me on Zoom before your first session — your training, your career so far, and most importantly your goals. It's included in the fee and it happens before you've paid the balance.
I choose your scene from that call. You don't walk in blind, and neither do I. My colleagues teaching the technique in other countries don't do this. I started it because personalised material is the whole point.
I trained under Ivana Chubbuck from 2016, and in 2021 she invited me to bring her technique to London. I'm still a full-time member of her masterclass, so what you learn here is the most current Chubbuck training in Europe.
No rotating faculty, no different tutor each term, no conflicting information. It's me, in a room of six, with my eyes on your work. Actors I coach can be seen on Netflix, ITV, BBC and Starz, in features and in the West End.

You'll also be on the mailing list, which is where class dates go out first. First name and email, nothing else.
Genuinely — anything. Whether it's right for you, whether you're too rusty, whether Mondays work around your shifts, how the payment plan works. I answer my own messages.
