Robyn Von Arx

As a small child, Robyn was painfully shy. Her mother got her into acting, just for fun, to help bring her out of her shell. Being on stage, as a child, imbued Robyn with a desire to write and direct. She spent years learning how to direct and finding her voice as a filmmaker. (All the while acting whenever she could.) She attended Vassar College for her BA and the MFA film directing program at NYU/Tisch. She also traveled the world, studying and making little films. (She enriched her perspective and worldview by living and going to school in Spain, France, Brazil, China, and Ecuador.)After writing a couple of feature scripts and having a successful stint with her first short on the festival circuit, (Moving Pictures magazine named her short film the best animated short of 2007.), Robyn realized how much she missed acting full time. She immersed herself in top notch actor training (with private coaches and classes) and improv training at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater (Certificate of Completion), and Improv Olympic West (She is an alumnus, Certificate of Completion). She has been working full time as an actor ever since. The life experience she gained by pursuing validation as a writer and director enriched her acting ten fold.As a full time working actor, she continues to train and perform on stage as much as possible to keep her acting chops in top shape.She lives in Los Angeles and Florida. In her spare time, she loves teaching yoga to kids. Show less «
