Studio FAQs

Answers provided by Southwest Scene Works.

What is your technique?

I teach the Chubbuck Technique, which builds on teaching traditions that stretch back to Stanislavski and infuses them with current advances in behavioral science and psychology.

Who assigns the scenes?

In my class, I assign the scenes and your scene partners.

What material do you use for scenes?

The scenes are selected from movies, television, and theater.

What are the typical Intensive sizes?

Classes sizes are kept small to ensure an intimate and focused environment.

How many times do you put up a scene?

For weekend intensives, you will put up a scene twice.

What happens if I have a flaky scene partner?

You can fire your scene partner if you have a problem with them.

Are you able to audit all the other classes once you join?

As a general rule of thumb, Southwest Scene Works does not offer auditing.

Who makes up the student body?

Directors, writers/producers, and of course, actors.

What do you think the formula is for success in this business?

In the words of Ivana Chubbuck... Hard work and taking risks.

Read, 'The Power of the Actor', focusing on the first 12 chapters.
