Mattie Shisko (Porges)??

Some years ago when I was a student at KAFF Theatre Skills I remember a wonderful voice teacher who was trained at NIDA named Mattie Porges. It couldn't be the same Mattie by any chance?

Yes, the one and the same.

Yes, the one and the same. She married a Canadian about 10 years ago and has lived there since. Cheers, Craig ~<8>-/====\---------

Indeed it is! I remember

Indeed it is! I remember Mattie saying she was seeing a Canuck and was moving there, wasn't 100% sure though. Her workshops were a joy to do and I still use some of the warm up techniques. If they were good back in '97 they should be worthwhile in 2009 :)
