About

Tony Trinh Tran is a Norwegian–Vietnamese choreographer and performer based in Oslo, Norway. He graduated from the Oslo National Academy of Arts and the Danish National School of Performing Arts Copenhagen in 2012.

His artistic work spans explorations of masculine identities and their intimate connection with violence, transgenerational trauma, and perspectives from inside and outside the Southeast Asian diaspora.

Tran’s work has toured throughout Europe, the Eastern Mediterranean, East and Southeast Asia, and South America.

He served on the performing arts committee for one of Norway’s main funding bodies, the Audio and Visual Fund, from 2020 to 2024. He has also served on the boards of Scenekunstbruket — the Norwegian Network for Performing Arts for Children and Young People — and Performing Arts Hub Norway, and was part of the Artistic Council for Dansens Hus Oslo.

He currently serves on the jury for the national Hedda Award and on the boards of the Norwegian Dance Union — Norske Dansekunstnere — and Davvi — Centre for Performing Arts in Northern Norway.

Tran has also curated the performing arts programme for the cross-aesthetic music festival Lyse Netter.

He is the founder of Program Grands Crus, a foundation supporting the creation and mobility of performing artists based in Vietnam.
