Trinh是一位酷儿、非二元性别者，同时也是拥有华裔与越南裔血统的加拿大跨学科戏剧艺术家，在剧本创作、导演、表演和制作方面均有深厚背景。Trinh毕业于维多利亚大学（获艺术学士学位，BFA）。其艺术实践旨在审视交叉性生活经验的多重维度，特别关注跨文化社会政治因素如何影响酷儿身份、性别认同以及离散群体身份。Trinh将戏剧视为一种直接的媒介，让人们能够借此分享彼此的人性。

Trinh的创作致力于通过“反压迫”与“去殖民化”的视角，将社会正义与叙事艺术有机融合。这一理念体现在其创作并主导的各类跨学科、多语言戏剧作品中，这些作品始终将女性主义视角、非二元性别叙事以及有色人种的故事置于核心地位。Trinh以独立艺术家的身份开展工作，同时也通过其创立的艺术团体“Dusty Foot Productions”进行创作。

在创作中，Trinh更看重实验过程而非最终成果，乐于进行跨学科的冒险，旨在挖掘那些深层次的问题：为什么选择这个故事？为什么是在这片土地上？又为何是与这些艺术家合作？其目标在于发掘叙事中那些被系统性排斥的视角，并探讨我们如何讲述当下全球语境中至关重要的叙事。

过去四年间，Trinh不断探索跨学科戏剧创作的切入点及戏剧流程的构建方式，并借此拓展国际合作网络。Trinh坚信，通过实地跨文化研究、深度参与和协作所获得的知识，能够为构建更健康、更具交叉性的创作环境提供长期的实践指导。

2023年，Trinh在尼加拉瓜度过了四个月，与奥梅特佩岛（Isla Ometepe）的“Infinity Fire”剧团合作，开发了两个全新的多语言项目，《Origen de la Diosa Volcánica》（简称 OVG）与《Duality》。Trinh 担任了这两个项目的创作者、导演及联合制作人：

[1] 《Origen de la Diosa Volcánica》（OVG）：一个跨学科项目，重点呈现奥梅特佩岛的纳瓦特尔文化渊源。

[2] 《Duality》：以当地跨性别艺术家为核心，探讨交叉性身份认同议题。

这两个跨学科项目均在戏剧叙事的框架下，探索了马戏（火舞）、口语艺术、舞蹈与现场打击乐的融合。

2024年，Trinh入选参加了在意大利翁布里亚大区斯波莱托举办的“LaMaMa国际导演研讨会”。该项目得到了加拿大艺术委员会和不列颠哥伦比亚省艺术委员会的支持。在为期四周的时间里，Trinh通过由国际知名戏剧专业人士主持的工作坊，深入了解了八种文化背景各异的创作方法论，这些方法论对当代表演艺术领域产生了深远影响。Trinh与来自新加坡、韩国、印度、南非、美国和澳大利亚的国际舞台导演们共同参与了研讨与创作。研讨涵盖的主题包括：视点法、自传虚构、集体创作戏剧、舞蹈剧场、残酷戏剧、行为艺术、动物模拟研究、关怀实践、政治戏剧以及重构戏剧。

2025年，得益于在LaMaMa的经历，Trinh受邀前往美国马萨诸塞州阿什菲尔德，与“Double Edge Theatre”展开为期17周的艺术合作，担任集体创作艺术家兼表演者。该剧团以集体创作为核心，擅长户外、特定场域、肢体化及跨学科的表演形式，其演出足迹遍布剧团占地100英亩的农场。“Double Edge Theatre”发展出了一套独特的训练体系，侧重于严谨的肢体训练与长时段的具身即兴创作；这套方法论被用于为其新作品构思与开发创作素材。

2026年，Trinh正在开发的一部跨学科新作入选了位于中国上海朱家角的无央空间艺术驻地项目。Trinh获得了加拿大艺术委员会的“国际驻留资助金”，用于支持为期两个月的研发工作。此次驻留的成果将包括一部完整剧本初稿，以及在ACENTRICSPACE进行的一场包含10分钟片段的工作坊展示。

Trinh is a queer, non-binary, Chinese-Vietnamese-Canadian, multidisciplinary theatre artist, with a background in playwriting, directing, performing, and producing. Graduate of The University of Victoria [BFA]. Their artistic practice aims to examine the multiplicity of intersectional lived experiences, specifically investigating intercultural socio-political influence on queer identity, gender identity, and diaspora identity. They approach theatre as a direct vessel in which we can share with one another our humanity.

Their practice is committed to cross-pollinating social justice with storytelling through an anti-oppressive decolonial lens. This commitment actualizes in the form of creating and spearheading new multi-disciplinary and multi-lingual theatre with feminist-forward, gender non-conforming and BIPOC stories at the forefront; as a freelance artist and through their collective Dusty Foot Productions.

Their practice prioritizes experimentation over outcome, dedicated to taking multidisciplinary risks that excavate deep-rooted questions: why this story, on this land, with these artists? Aiming to unearth systemically excluded lenses in storytelling. What are we saying about the vital narrative of this global moment?

Throughout the last 4 years, Trinh went in search of different access points to creating multi-disciplinary theatre and the framework of the theatrical process, in doing so, expanded their outreach to foster international partnerships. Driven by the belief that knowledge gained through on-site intercultural research, engagement, and collaboration can inform long-term best practices for healthier intersectional creation rooms.

2023, Trinh spent four months in Nicaragua collaborating with the Ometepe company -Infinity Fire- to develop two new multilingual projects: “Origen de la Diosa Volcánica” [OVG] and “Duality”. Trinh created, directed, and co-produced:

[1] “OVG” – a multidisciplinary project highlighting the Nahuatl origin of Isla Ometepe

[2] “Duality” – centering local transgender artists investigating intersectional identity.

Both multidisciplinary projects explored the integration of circus [fire spinning], spoken word, dance, and live percussion against the backdrop of a theatrical narrative.

2024, Trinh was selected to participate in LaMaMa’s International Directors’ Symposium [Spoleto, Umbria, Italy]. Supported by the Canada Council for the Arts and British Columbia Arts Council. Throughout 4 weeks, Trinh gained insight into eight culturally diverse creation methodologies in workshops led by internationally renowned theatre professionals, impacting the contemporary landscape of performative arts. Trinh collaborated in workshops with a cohort of international stage directors from Singapore, Korea, India, South Africa, the United States, and Australia. Workshops Investigated: Viewpoints, Auto-Fiction, Devising Theatre, Dance Theatre, Theatre of Cruelty, Performance Art, Animal Study, Practice of Care, Political Theatre and Reconstruction Theatre.

2025, as a result of LaMaMa, Trinh was invited for a 17-week artistic collaboration as a Deviser | Performer with Double Edge Theatre in Ashfield, Massachusetts, USA. The ensemble-based company prioritizes outdoor, site-specific, physical, multi-disciplinary performances that travel across 100 acres of farmland. Double Edge has cultivated a specialized training methodology that focuses on rigorous, physical, long-form embodied improvisation. This methodology is utilized to devise material for their new works.

2026, Trinh’s latest multi-disciplinary work in development was selected for an Artistic Residency at ACENTRICSPACE in Zhujiajiao, Shanghai, China. Trinh was awarded the Canada Council International Residency Grant, funding 2 months of research and development. The residency will culminate in a full-length draft and a workshop presentation of a 10-minute excerpt at ACENTRICSPACE.
