In this episode, I have the good fortune to be able to chat with Chelsea Green. She currently lives in Cairo, Egypt, so it was a thrill to be able to snag a bit of her time during her visit home to Southern California.
In addition to performing as a soloist and a chamber musician, Chelsea teaches music history, introductory ethnomusicology, music theory, and guitar performance at the American University in Cairo. She also directs the AUC Guitar Ensemble.
During this interview we talk about the concept of 'play' vs 'practice', as we dive into Chelsea's paper, entitled Permission to Play: Obstacles and Open Spaces in Music. She talks a bit about how she came to classical guitar, how she knows that the classical guitar is her instrument, and we get a glimpse into what guitar performance is like from the point of view of the musician.
If you've ever experienced stagnation and procrastination in the practice of your craft, this episode will open up a way of thinking that will get you over that hump.

In this episode of Her Process, I'm chatting with actor and producer, Tanya Ihnen. Tanya has a range of experience from performing on stage to working in the web space, where she's carved out quite a nice niche for herself.
In recent years it seems that if you want to work in the entertainment industry, you have to make your own work. If that's the case, then Tanya is ahead of the game. She's been producing and acting in web series since, well...before most people really even knew what web series were!
In this interview, we talk about her acting career, her training, what it's like to work in the same business as the love of your life...and by same business, I mean what it's like to run a production company with this person, and have him as your director on set. And we talk about Tanya's love for the web space.
If you ever feel unmotivated and need a kick in the pants, this episode, with this do-it-all lady, is the one to listen to!
In Episode 1 of Her Process, I chat with award winning writer director, Tina Cesa Ward. Tina, along with Susan Miller, won the first ever Writers Guild of America Award for Original New Media for her hit indie drama series "Anyone But Me". Tina gives us a little insight into how she's always writing, even when she's not writing. We talk about the different hats she wears on her web series productions, how she creates characters, and we discuss labels people find themselves saddled with in the entertainment industry. She also answers the question, "To improvise, or not to improvise?"
On Her Process, I get to chat with female artists - writers, actors, directors, painters, musicians, and more - about how they do what they do, and why they do it. This is a show about the artistic process. We talk about inspiration, implementation, and everything in between. Hosted by Jo Bozarth. Show notes & extras: www.herprocess.com.
