About

Tony Tran is a choreographer, performer and curator based between Oslo and Geneva.

He is currently developing a multidisciplinary trilogy exploring Southeast Asian diasporic experiences in Europe through queer and decolonial perspectives, addressing questions of identity, cultural inheritance and transgenerational trauma. His artistic practice also examines masculine identities and their intimate connections to violence, displacement and belonging.

His work has been presented in 25 countries across five continents.

Tran's curatorial work focuses on fostering artistic exchange and international collaboration. He has curated the performing arts programme for the multidisciplinary festival Lyse Netter and is the founder and director of Program Grands Crus, a Vietnam-based initiative dedicated to supporting the creation, artistic development and international mobility of performing artists. Through research, residencies, artistic exchanges and international partnerships, the programme aims to strengthen connections between Vietnam and the international performing arts field.

From 2020 to 2024, he served on the performing arts committee of Fond for lyd og bilde (Audio and Visual Fund), a Norwegian public arts funding scheme administered by the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Affairs. His previous roles include board positions with Scenekunstbruket, Performing Arts Hub Norway and Norske Dansekunstnere (Norwegian Dance Artists' Union), membership of the Artistic Council at Dansens Hus Oslo, serving on the jury for the national Hedda Award, and serving as both chair and member of the nomination committee at Danseinformasjonen (Dance Information Norway).
