Tristan B Willis is a playwright, performer, and game creator exploring queer stories, distanced performance, and the intersection of theatre and games. As a resident of Orchard Project’s Liveness Lab and CultureHub’s Writing for Electronic Formats, Tristan discussed and cultivated new ways of presenting theatrical work in digital and distanced spaces. They’ve continued that work with the Kennedy Center Local Theatre Residency, Lucille Lortel Theatre with support from Caridad Svich, and the Welcome to My Homepage residency.
Tristan coordinated the Theatre Washington Mentoring Program for six years and works with Young Playwrights’ Theater. You can learn more about Tristan and their work at tristanbwillis.com.
