ACTOR

Claire Riverland was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia. Her mother's side of the family is from Hong Kong whilst her father is of German-Polish descent. Claire can speak conversational French.

From a young age, Claire has always loved storytelling, whether it be sharing and expressing her own adventures or absorbing and amplifying the experiences of others. Her passion for acting was fostered through youth musical theatre and studying the dramatic arts in high school, which later progressed into Claire choosing to pursue her interest in filmmaking through a Bachelor of Film and Television (Honours) at Swinburne University, specialising in directing and assistant directing. With half her heart in acting and the other half in filmmaking, Claire is set on fuelling her excitement and passion for imagination, creation and communication, both in the theatre or on a film set.

​

She has acted in 20+ short films, music videos, webseries, theatre, and completed screen acting workshops at TAFTA with Colin Budds, Thea McLeod, Micaeley Gibson, and Peter Andrikidas. She has trained intensively with Andy McPhee.
