On stage, off stage, and online, Dillon has collaborated with Avante Theatre Project, Austin Scottish Rite Theatre, Capital T Theatre, De Corazón Consulting, Fresh Ink Theatre, Generic Ensemble Company, Ground Floor Theatre, Kalpulli Ayolopaktzin, the Indigenous Cultures Institute, Inkwell Theatre, the Latinx Playwrights Circle, New Native Theatre, the PlayGround Experiment, Sparkhaven Theatre, Teatro Vivo, and telátulsa. Recently, he was the HowlRound Theatre Commons fellow, a part of Company One Theatre's season 21 PlayLab cohort, and a selected playwright for both the TransTheatreFest-Madison and Boston Theatre Marathon.
He also facilitates workshops for trans and gender expansive performers through a series of meditative and movement based exercises in order to illuminate the joyful and fulfilling potential that performance holds for those of us from these historically marginalized experiences. This work, with collaborator Dr. Jesse O'Rear, has been seen at the University of Texas at Austin and at the 2019 Transgender Spectrum Conference.
