Flo Ankah - French actress and director

Acting On-Camera

Flo enjoys the stereotype of the French woman. They usually are smart character that look nice and tend to be good in bed. She was cast as the maid Colette on One Life to Live… where she got to wear a delightful outfit, and work with Emmy-award winner directors Jill Mitvell and Mike Eibaum.

While she was under artist visa, Flo was only allowed to make a living as an actress, so she worked on sets, standing in for numerous celebrities, and acquiring a solid understanding of the New York production scene.

Plays, Theater

Flo started her career performing extensively in French theaters before arriving to New York. English was a barrier at first and she made a point to be on stage as much as possible.

Coming from a dance background, she found herself at ease in experimental theater works such as Meredith Monk’s Ascension Variation (the Guggenheim Museum), John Duncan’s The Grateful (RoseLee Goldberg’s Performa), and Young Jean Lee’s Church (the Public Theater). She is well versed in improvisation comedy, studying regularly for over thress years at the Magnet Theater and the Upright Citizen’s Brigade, where she graduated in long form improvisation. Flo loves going to the theater and can’t wait to do more straight plays!
