Who is Genevieve Ngosa?

A New York City based actor, dancer and model who is no stranger to the world of performing arts. Born and raised in Georgetown, Guyana where she was introduced to acting, dancing, storytelling, poetry and voice-over acting from a young age, she began to fall in love with the many ways she could express herself. In 2014, Genevieve migrated to Barbados where she earned an associate degree in Applied Arts at the Barbados Community College undergoing training in both the Grotowski and Stanislavski methods. It was here that Genevieve Ngosa made her first regional debut in a production called Bajanism. Since then, she has appeared in a number of commercials, television and theatre productions within the Caribbean. Some of her international credits include: Red Harvest, Romanus Maximus, The Musical Annie, Ol’ Talk In De Yard, Nubian Queen and Who Diablesse. During her time on the island, Genevieve worked with The National Cultural Foundation of Barbados, Shoestring Theatre Collective and Mustardseed Productions.

Genevieve Ngosa is a recent graduate of The American Academy of Dramatic Arts, a performing arts conservatory where she has been pursuing studies in acting for Film, Television and Theatre. Genevieve has done contemporary scene study work with Susan Pilar, Maggie Low and Yvette Heyliger as well as classical scene study with Timothy D. Stickney. She was cast as Brutus in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar which was directed by Michael F. Toomey as well as Emilia 3, in a new play called Emil!a, written by Morgan Lloyd-Malcolm and directed by Ioanna Katsarou as part of her main stage performance at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Genevieve returned to The Academy where she continued to hone her craft as a member of the third year Academy Company. Here, she had the opportunity to explore stories such as, Everybody, a play by Branden Jacobs Jenkins, which was a modern adaptation of the 15th-century morality play, Everyman. The play was directed by Ryan Quinn and was premiered at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts. She also played ‘Bonnie’ in Anatomy Of A Suicide by Alice Birch with direction by Barbara Rubin, as well as ‘Agave’ in the classic Greek play, Bakkhai, written by Euripides, translated by Anne Carson and directed by Ioanna Katsarou.

Genevieve Ngosa is the recipient of the prestigious Charles Jehlinger award bestowed by The American Academy of Dramatic Arts to those who come closest to personifying Jehlinger’s ideals by exhibiting excellence as a person and an artist who displays the highest professional attitude toward the art and craft of acting.

When Genevieve isn’t on a stage, in front of a camera or navigating behind the scenes, you can find her cozying up with a cup of tea in hand (or soup - her absolute favorite) and a book. She truly enjoys reading in order to expand her mind with works past, present and to come. She enjoys writing and is currently in the process of workshopping screenplays and well as theatre pieces which uses her voice as a Caribbean woman. Her favorite musical to watch and re-watch is Hadestown and she is currently obsessed with the movies Sing Sing and Origin.
