Rio RaschActor based in Los Angeles & The Berkshires
My name is Rio Rasch and I am a 25 year old German/American actor in my second year at California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles. Our acting studies are focused on Shakespeare for the entire year and we are working on scenes, sonnets, and soliloquies in all of our studio, voice, and speech classes. This work has opened up an entirely new side of acting for me and I feel incredibly inspired every single time I step into class or sit down to work on this material. I am consistently amazed by the beauty of Shakespeare’s language and how there is so much to be found within it. 

                I heard about your program about half a year ago and have mentioned it to some of my teachers and mentors who speak very highly of the work you do. I would love nothing more than to continue the work I am doing throughout this school year in the summer as well. My family lives in great Barrington so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to come and learn from your wonderful faculty. Through taking your course, I hope to discover more nuance, creativity, and depth, both within the text and also within myself as an actor. I firmly believe in the power of multiple approaches to acting, and while I am learning a great deal from all of my extremely talented faculty here at CalArts, I firmly believe there are many more ways to continue to broaden my understanding and my artistic practice, especially in something as specific as Shakespeare.
