Ivana Chubbuck is well known in Hollywood as she used to teach big actors like Gal Gadot, Halle Berry, Jared Leto, Sylvester Stallone, and more. The workshop will also have the only accredited Chubbuck Technique teacher in the country, Filipino director Rahyan Carlos.
This year marks Ivana’s third time to hold a masterclass for ABS-CBN stars. According to her, she always has the passion to train actors and will always come back to the Philippines. “It was miraculously magical to see the changes (in the first batch of students), I felt that the talent here was so available and accessible, and this is a kind of thing that motivates me and inspires me. And that, not only I wanted me to come back, I needed to come back,” she said in the press conference.
