About me

View profile
Born in Perth, Western Australia, Ren Earnshaw found her love for acting at the age of five. By 15, after attending transformative workshops with some of Australia’s most celebrated actors and teachers at the Melbourne Theatre Company, she knew it was her calling. Her early career was defined by iconic roles such as Nora in A Doll’s House, Electra in Electra, and Julia in 1984, experiences that cemented her passion for exploring layered, emotionally charged characters. 

In 2003, she moved to Germany, immersing herself in a new culture and language while continuing to evolve as an artist. She worked as an acting coach and assistant director, performed professional voiceover work, and shared her knowledge as a guest lecturer in acting at universities. Her creative journey took an exciting turn when she earned a place in an MFA program in Painting in Stuttgart, allowing her to explore storytelling through a visual lens and enrich her approach to performance. 

After taking time to raise her daughter, she returned to acting with renewed focus and determination. Drawing from British, Australian, and American acting techniques, inspired by Stanislavsky, Meisner, and Spolin, she brings a thoughtful and fearless approach to her craft. 

She is seeking representation locally and internationally, ready to contribute to bold, impactful projects. Known for her emotional depth, creative versatility, and commitment to collaboration, she is driven by the power of storytelling to connect and inspire.
