Josephine Florence Cooper is an award winning actor and vocalist based in New York City. She was born in Miami, Florida on July 22, 1994 and was then raised in a small town in Southern Maine. She went on to receive her BFA in Theatre from Emerson College in Boston.

Josephine is drawn to nurturing, caretaker characters with a strong resilience beneath the surface. Being raised by a single mother, she is particularly drawn to self-reliant young mother characters with a sense of groundedness despite challenging circumstances. As a queer person, Josephine also loves to explore queer stories of communicative connection between women and GNC characters.

Along with their work as an actor, Josephine also works in the Healing and Teaching Arts and is trained as a Somatic Trauma Therapist. She teaches Expressive Arts classes and lessons to all ages.

Josephine is ever curious about deep presence and connection. Such moments of genuine "seeing" with scenes partners and audiences, led her to explore all of the places in life where this kind of stillness exists.

She is grateful to strive to live in the words of poet Mary Oliver a "wild and precious life" in connection with characters, storytelling, clients, students, nature, animals and the written word.
