about
Vivianna is an actor and multidisciplinary artist who believes story lives in the body as much as in words. A dancer, writer, and storyteller at heart, she is drawn to the quiet currents beneath behavior—the pauses, instincts, and contradictions that reveal who someone truly is.
Her work often inhabits the space between warmth and danger, intelligence and vulnerability. She is drawn to characters who are perceptive, complicated, and slightly off-center: characters who observe closely, feel deeply, and carry more than they let on. High-stakes drama, dark comedy, and intimate, ensemble-driven storytelling feel like home—especially stories that explore power, desire, tenderness, and the fragile ways people connect.
Art, for Vivianna, is not confined to a single form. She moves fluidly between performance, movement, writing, and physical creation, allowing each discipline to inform the others. This cross-pollination brings a sense of presence and aliveness to her work—performances that feel grounded, precise, and quietly electric.

training
Vivianna holds a Master of Fine Arts in Acting from the University of California, Irvine, with concentrated training in physical theatre, classical text, and contemporary film and television performance. Her approach is body-led and emotionally exact, integrating voice, movement, and text into a unified, story-driven practice.
​
Her movement training includes ballet, modern dance, social dance forms (including salsa), physical and dance theatre, and contact improvisation, alongside extensive Tai Chi practice. These disciplines support a refined sense of balance, breath, spatial awareness, and embodied listening.
​
She is an advanced actor combatant, stage combat instructor, and fight director with Dueling Arts International, bringing a high level of physical rigor, safety, and narrative clarity to physically demanding work. This training allows her to move seamlessly between intimate, grounded screen performance and heightened, physically expressive theatrical storytelling.
