About me
Claire Riverland was born in and primarily grew up 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 basic French, which she completed VCE studies in, and basic Cantonese.
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 love of cinema and interest in filmmaking through her current studying of a Bachelor of Film and Television (Honours) at Swinburne University. 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 10+ short films, music videos, a webseries, independent theatre plays, and completed screen acting workshops at TAFTA with Colin Budds, Thea McLeod, Micaeley Gibson, and Peter Andrikidas. She has trained intensively with Andy McPhee.
Claire is represented by Ryan Hall. Her profile is on Showcast, Casting Networks, and Altai.
Claire is fully vaccinated for COVID-19.
