I’m Pieneke Bennen, an actor based in Berlin and Amsterdam. Originally from Amsterdam, I first studied Media and Culture (BA) and Film Analysis (MA). Over the past two years, however, I have dedicated myself fully to acting. My training has centered on film acting at Catalyst Berlin, as well as the Meisner technique at Actors Space Berlin, which taught me the importance of truthful connection, active listening, and emotional presence on screen.

I’m passionate about exploring characters in depth and bringing them to life in an authentic and grounded way. My background in film gives me a sharp eye for storytelling, while my acting work is rooted in spontaneity and honesty.

Outside of acting, I’m very active — I play football, enjoy sports, love being outdoors, and draw inspiration from people and everyday life. These experiences feed into my work and keep me curious, playful, and open as a performer.
