an experimental theater-maker based in Vietnam
Trà Nguyễn is a theater-maker working across text, movement and space. Her practice bridges contemporary performance, experimental writing and embodied research into memory, language and diasporic kinship. A Fulbright scholar with an MFA in Dramatic Writing from Carnegie Mellon, Trà founded The Run — A Theater Project, which builds experimental theater infrastructure in Vietnam through production, training and critical discourse. She develops Verbatim Bodies, a methodology that frames theater as a space for attention, translating gesture, breath and slow-time repetition into materials and modes of perception.
