Claire Chubbuck is an emerging female director that creates mission driven content that creates catharsis for those working on it. She works with actors to use the traumatic events in their lives in order to make art - as a director, and a teacher. She teaches the Chubbuck Technique at Ivana Chubbuck Studio - using her students to create.
Most recently, Claire has been winning awards with her directorial debut, ‘how I lost my virginity’ - a short film detailing her best friend’s real-life experience intended to provide catharsis while taking a look at the systematic problem that allow for the victims of sexual assault to far outweigh the perpetrators.
This project is about catharsis and emotional survival - using art to let others know they are not alone. ‘(Corona) Viral Monologues’ is a collaboration with actors and storytellers that have a commonality of pain - the pandemic. Each element of the mise en scene is crafted by an artist telling their story in their chosen medium adding their layer of experience on their personal journey.
