Vivienne Causemann

Vivienne Causemann spent the first years of her life in Windhoek, Namibia, which she still considers to be extremely formative for her. She studied acting at the Max Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna, Austria, with esteemed teachers such as Ivo Ismael, Janusz Cichocki, and Klaus Maria Brandauer. In 2017, she had a supporting role in the feature film "Mademoiselle Paradis" by Barbara Albert.

She has participated in various prestigious workshops e. g. with Michael Haneke and Béla Tarr. For several years in theatre, she was part of the ensemble of the Vorarlberger Landestheater in Bregenz, Austria, where she acted in over 20 plays, mostly as the female lead. In 2023 she received the "Recognition Award for Art and Culture Vorarlberg" in Austria. In the 2022/23 theater season her solo play "King Kong Vivienne", developed with director Fanny Brunner, premiered in Bregenz. In 2023 it was awarded a Stella*23 Award as "outstanding production for young people" in Austria. In 2024 she made guest appearances with King Kong Vivienne at the theaters Dschungel Vienna, Austria, and TD Berlin, Germany. Her acting is strongly inspired by her passion for sports, dance, and music.
