I am beyond excited to teach my most comprehensive, applicable, creative class for physical actors. Making a masterful brew of my yoga training, Lucid Body workshop in New York, and my study of Caroline Myss archetype technique, the Mind+Body+Actor course will be a journey back to self and truth. Learning who we are in all shadows and personas, and therefore, step into the body of characters more fully, more willing to risk. Run towards your acting choices and become rejuvenated through your own creativity. Empower yourself. Empower the acting the acting process.

I am proud to be hosted by Southwest Sceneworks for this class. Please go to their website (http://www.southwestsceneworks.com/) to register, spaced is limited! Let's play already!

Southwestern Premiere opens August 7th at 7:30 pm with performances through August 23rd (Sunday Matinees at 3:00pm).

A play in letters, Love in The DMZ, reveals the relationship between Husband and Wife during the Vietnam War era. The play begins in the spring of 1968, when Husband has been sent to Vietnam to lead a group of young soldiers. He and his loving Wife comfort each other with lyrical, sometimes silly love letters. As time goes by, Husband's letters get darker, and Wife, although frightened by the letters, tries to stay supportive and keep their bond alive. When Husband witnesses unforgettable atrocities, however, he hesitates to send Wife more letters. Wife suffers under the silence, imagining the worst.

The play received high praise from industry paper Variety for the only other production in 2006: "Cameron's writing is alternately sharp and poetic, and it keeps a believable balance between romance and reality. Her characters are intelligent and imperfect, three-dimensional ... compelling drama ..."

The Albuquerque production will feature Duke City Rep company member Josh Heard (Manhattan) and Catharine Pilafas (Nurse Heather on Night Shift). Both actors are working in theatre, television and film; and teach at Sol Acting Academy. Daniel Region will join the company from New York to direct.

Cameron is best known for her book The Artist's Way. First published in 1992, the book became a movement, changing lives worldwide and selling over 4 million copies. With 37 books, novels, plays and screenplays to her name, Cameron calls New Mexico home.

My very first college course was the voice and speech class at the University of Northern Colorado. I am a first generation college grad, so being that I had no clue about anything to do with college, and my first class was not easy to hide in like Chemistry 101, but voice and speech, I was a bit terrified. The voice class was totally full, and I had to sit on the floor because we didn't have enough chairs (glory of first day of classes). However, one of my first revelations to come out of the class was that I was finally with a group of students that embraced the weird theatre exercises that just come with territory of the craft. For example, sticking out the tongue and aahhhhhh up and down the vocal range. My biggest take away from the class was learning the mechanics of the voice and how not to ever lose it again during a show. I used to vocally push way too hard in high school and perpetually lost my voice the final tech week before the show opened. For me, learning how to release tension and properly support my voice with diaphragmatic breathing changed everything.

I am really looking forward to imparting all of the goods of my experiences and education in the Voice and Speech class at Sol Acting Acadmey, starting Thursday July 31st. Actors will learn the Krinstin Linklater and Rudolf Laban methods to free their natural human voice and the human actor's voice. Develop awareness to shift unnecessary tension in the face, voice and body to evoke "relax readiness." The class will also introduce the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) which is the basis of learning dialects. The dialects that will be taught British, Irish, Russian, and various American accents. In this session of Voice and Speech garner tools that will thread into the rest of your artistic career.


This is a new class at Sol, and the special tuition rate of $199. Register at www.solacting.com or call 505-881-0975.

The year is 1976 and the show Charlie's Angels hit the air. Little did the creators know that this show left a lasting impression on my childhood. Nope, I did not grow up in the 70s, my mom did. I suppose it was because my mother had her children at a young age that the nostalgia of the shows she watched as a teen comforted her into adulthood. Thus, I watched every season and every episode of Charlie's Angels growing up. Witnessing the ups of the original Farrah years, and the whuck seasons of Tiffany and Julie. We also watched a lot of Alice and Columbo...Are you jealous, yet?

Enter The Night Shift nurses squad - you have the Head of the nurses' station, Nurse Mollie Ramos, played by Esodie Geiger, Nurse Jocelyn Diaz trauma extradinore, played by Alma Sisneros, and finally the girl rocking braids in her hair, Nurse Heather Bardocz, played by moi. Let's see that's 1-2-3 of us. BING! And Ragosa's Angels were born. Nurse Mollie is the leader, and naturally is the Kate Jackson - practical and efficient. Nurse Jocelyn is the Farrah Fawcett, beautiful and intelligent. Nurse Heather is the Jacyln Smith - smiley and versatile. Our Bosley is Dwayne the MRI tech with amazing comedic timing, played by Marc Comstock. Of course that leaves Charlie, the mysterious, yet charming ring leader. Without a doubt this has to go to Michael Ragosa, played by Freddy Rodriguez.

We have the quirky and exciting hospitalized Ragosa's Angels. We solve trauma surgery mysteries, go hand-to-hand combat with the healthcare system, and we do it all with flawless poise and grace. Catch Ragosa's Angels on channel Xanadu, check your local listing.
