Meet Rosanny Zayas And Eric Harper of Los Angeles

Today we’d like to introduce you to Rosanny Zayas And Eric Harper.

Hi Rosanny Zayas, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
In 2013, Eric Harper and I were admitted into Group 46 of the Drama Division at The Juilliard School. From that moment on, we’ve been immersed in this work — acting professionally, teaching, and continually training ourselves. It’s been a wild and beautiful ride: from students, to working actors, to teachers guiding others through a process that shaped us so deeply.
One of the biggest turning points for me came when I moved to Los Angeles. It wasn’t that the artistic community wasn’t here — it absolutely was. But being new to a city can be surprisingly isolating. In New York, my community was woven into my daily life; it felt almost instinctual. In Los Angeles, everything — the distance, the pace, the way people connect — was new to me. It takes much more intention to bridge the gap between being a newcomer and truly feeling like you belong. And when you’re starting over like that, it can feel lonely.
Since relocating in 2019, so much has happened — industry strikes, major shifts in our administration, fires — it felt like one collective upheaval after another. And during that time, I realized I wasn’t the 23-year-old artist I used to be. I had developed new muscles, new questions, and a deeper relationship to my artistic life. I needed a space where that evolution could continue — where I could train rigorously and be in conversation with other artists who valued that same discipline.
Eventually, I realized that instead of waiting to stumble into that again, I could help create it with people I love.
So Eric and I came together to build what we were craving — not just for our fellow alumni, but for the artists we’ve met here in Los Angeles who share our love of serious training and embodied storytelling. Our goal wasn’t to “fix” anything — it was to cultivate intentional community. A space where actors make the time to gather, to train, and to reconnect with their bodies and their love of acting.
For us, acting is physical, visceral, and alive. The Alexander Technique became an important part of that foundation — a reminder that freedom in the body creates freedom in expression, and that daily practice sustains longevity.
This venture feels like a natural next chapter: building the kind of artistic home that requires intention, care, and consistency — especially in a city where connection doesn’t always happen by accident.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I see the obstacles facing RH as the same ones artists everywhere are grappling with right now: finding the time, space, and energy to create while also surviving in the world as it is. Yet anyone who works creatively knows that creating is what keeps us alive and hungry. The real challenge is waking up each day and choosing to make room for that work—internally and in our schedules. That daily commitment is RH’s obstacle, and it’s also its responsibility. We owe it to ourselves, and we owe it to the students who come to study at RH Studios.

Finding creative outlets to spread our news has been difficult so we wanted to reach out to parts of Los Angeles that would listen! We want to share our joy and love of our work with more people. Classical training doesn’t have to be exclusive anymore. There are people willing to share everything they learned at some of these exclusive places at a moderate price. Because we love sharing the wealth of knowledge.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
The thing I’m most proud of at RH is the intentional focus we place on our students. Everything we do is centered around helping them feel empowered, challenged, motivated, and genuinely supported. We celebrate each individual’s artistry and growth — it’s never about the studio itself; it’s about the students within it. We believe they are incredibly brave and talented, and creating a space where they feel seen and valued is what makes me most proud of RH.

One of the qualities I’m most proud of is my work ethic. Staying creative while juggling all the other moving parts of life while taking care of yourself isn’t easy, but I’ve committed to doing all of it, and especially not letting the creative part of me suffer. I’ve also been intentional about surrounding myself with driven, like-minded people who lead by example and continually inspire me to grow and push myself further.

Television and Film is such a joy for us, whether we are on set working or coaching/ teaching we find the value in picking up a script and becoming detectives. Our work as professionals is something we are both incredibly proud of and we hope to help young students feel the same. From working on Top network shows ourselves or coaching clients who are currently working we value those experiences and are grateful for every second of it.

Do you have recommendations for books, apps, blogs, etc?
Being part of the National Alliance of Acting Teachers truly changed my life. For a long time, I was afraid of fully bringing my acting career and my teaching career into the same space. I worried that focusing on one might take away from the other. But what I discovered is that they actually sustain each other — not just survive alongside each other, but thrive because of each other.
The resources they provide to both actors and teachers, and the thoughtful community they’ve built, deeply inspire me. It’s a model of generosity and rigor that I truly admire and hope to continue contributing to and growing within.

Podcasts I listen to: The Daily, NPR Up First, The Bald and the Beautiful with Trixie and Katya, and Seek Treatment with Cat Cohen and Pat Regan. You gotta balance the serious with stuff that can just make you laugh.
