The incredible talent of Lisa Opara

A Story by starpower

The world at her feet, Lisa Opara

At a beautiful twenty-three years old, the gorgeous English-African Lisa Opara is an actress you would be remiss to ignore. So far in her dizzying career she has delivered stunning performances in productions such as The Body by Ten Cent Adventures, The Powder Room by DJ Films, Danz by Swiss Lips, Run by 4 Part Drama, both Displaced Diegetic and Serious Money by director Greta Mendes (where she was cast for multiple roles), Love and Information by Jamie Rocha Allan, A Collection of Monologues by Alexander Parsonage, and her most recent production, Not Talking by Mike Bartlett.

Her talents include singing, songwriting, creative writing, competitive sport, mimicry of both regional and international accents, and a broad emotional palette. As a student of Sociology and Psychology she felt as though something was missing from her life, and that something was acting. Using her past education she perfected her craft at The Identity Drama School (the UK’s first Black Drama School), and workshops such as: “The Business of Entertainment” by Lea Patrick, “Commercial and Lifestyle Print” by Charlie Winfield, “Acting for the Camera” by Craig Holzberg, and “Runway” by Peggy Mckinley. She is currently working on a collection of poetry, external and personal theatre productions, and singing/songwriting. Her influences include Jennifer Lawrence and Michael Fassbender whom she studies to further her own ability. With Hollywood already standing at the ready to receive Lisa Opara from the UK keep an eye out for one of the most promising up-and-coming young starlets.
