ABOUT ME

Hey, I'm Keiándra.

You're here to find out who I am, so let's get to it!

My inspiration to venture into an acting career stemmed from the freedom of expression that diving into different characters gave me in addition to my love for storytelling and performing. This was only further reinforced upon my training, having studied BFA acting at UW-Milwaukee and Circle in the Square Theatre School in New York City.

At the age of three, dancing and singing became the center of my life as my parents made sure I was in ballet/pointe, tap, jazz, praise dance, church and school choir until college. My love for art and performance then began to flower as I would continue my studies on my own terms.

Ergo, I found African Dance, a passion I felt robbed of during my early years. I would come to dance professionally with Ko-Thi Dance Co. in Milwaukee WI where I captivated many audiences with riveting storytelling techniques and graceful dance moves. Ko-Thi fueled my budding interest in training at multiple dance camps around the US and in Guinea, West Africa.

As per the course, I've been honored to have worked on featured background roles on current tv shows, regional commercials, cabarets, musicals, plays and short films while living and growing in the New York area.

My studies and combination of experiences, in addition to my fiery passion for the stage, have been perfect ingredients for my gravitation towards becoming a refined artist. I can't wait to see where this journey takes me! Check out some of the highlights below:)
