Korama Danquah is an actor, writer, and educator born and (mostly) raised in Los Angeles. She's a bookworm and TV, film, and theatre nut who never misses an opportunity for a good story.
Though born in L.A. she spent part of her adolescence on the US east coast and in Ghana. No matter where she was, she was performing plays and songs for audiences large and small. She spent her free time learning about acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute, The Groundlings Theatre, and other similar programs.
Korama chose to further her acting studies at Brown University's department of Theatre Arts and Performance Studies. She graduated with a BA in Theatre, but not before penning Body the Limits, a performance piece exploring the intersection of body image, intimacy, and sexuality; and, writing and starring in a solo performance called Mixtape for New Year's Eve (or Secretly a Love Story). When she wasn't working on a play, she was dancing with New Works/World Traditions, a dance company rooted in the study of West African movement; studying languages like French, Hindi, and American Sign Language; or, singing with Brown/RISD's Jewish themed a cappella group, The Alef Beats.
Upon graduating, Korama moved back to Los Angeles, continued to study her craft, and started to work. She joined the playwrights' group Fell Swoop Playwrights (now dissolved) and starred in their 2014 Hollywood Fringe Festival smash hit The Last Temptation of Paula Deen. She has studied acting with Lesly Kahn and Laura Henry (Meisner), voiceover at Kalmenson & Kalmenson, and improv with The Groundlings and Upright Citizens Brigade. She is currently represented for commercial and print by Lemon Lime Agency.
When she is not acting or doing her own writing, Korama works with young people as a creative writing instructor at Writopia Lab, a youth-oriented writing nonprofit.
