TRIN Dance Theatre
TRIN is a contemporary dance theatre company directed by three Los Angeles dance artists: Monica Williams, Tippy Dringman, and Mason Gray. After 7 years of creating and performing together, the trio collectively founded TRIN as a dance theatre project in 2021. TRIN is a collective that exists out of friendship, is centered upon community, and creates safe spaces to connect, explore, play, and perform. TRIN’s dance work is theatrical, daring, sensual, queer, comedic, and a real labor of love for one another and the stories we have to share.
Monica, Tippy, and Mason met at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, where they each earned their Bachelor of Arts in Dance. They naturally gravitated toward one another and quickly became close friends and creative collaborators. TRIN has been creating and performing together since 2016, where they have shown original works at Highways Performance Space, Stomping Ground LA, Hooverhaus, Thymele Arts, G-Son Studios, The Nocturne Theatre, East Hollywood Performing Arts Center, and Atwater Village Theatre.
