I'm a playwright and game creator interested in queer, trans work and the intersection of theatre and games - including making meaningful, interactive experiences for audiences. 

 

As a former resident of the Orchard Project’s Liveness Lab and CultureHub's Writing For Electronic Formats, I discussed and cultivated new ways of presenting theatrical work in distanced and digital spaces. As a continuation of that interest, I created It's For You (a one-on-one phone conversation), in a way that matters, (a livestream about death acceptance), and David & Jonathan (a play-script about a golden boy and short king growing up and falling in love).

 

From playwright Danielle Mohlman: "Tristan does weird in the very best way — weird that makes you think and wrestle and marvel and care."

 

My work for 2024 and 2025 is funded in part by the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities through the Arts and Humanities Fellowship Program.
