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 subtle currents beneath behavior—the pauses, instincts, and contradictions that reveal who someone truly is.
Her work often sits between warmth and danger, intelligence and vulnerability. She gravitates toward perceptive, complex characters who feel deeply and carry more than they show. High-stakes drama, dark comedy, and intimate, ensemble-driven storytelling feel like home, especially stories that explore power, desire, and connection.
Vivianna moves fluidly between performance, movement, and writing, allowing each to inform the others. The result is work that feels grounded, precise, and quietly electric.
