Yannick Trapman-O’Brien is a Performer, Theatermaker, and Creative Hand for Hire. His practice centers on exploring the exchanges and spaces we are willing to make with strangers, and seeking unorthodox applications for performance. People pay him to act, which he has done in Shakespeare, devised work, performance actions and immersive works, as well as amphitheaters, basements, historical mansions, forests and one time on a bike.
Past credits include The Walnut Street Theater, Theater Mitu, Witness Relocation, the Interactive Playlab, The American Czech Theater, New Light Theater, and performances at the Franklin Institute, Morris Jumel and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museums. He is an alumni of NYU Abu Dhabi (Theater, BA), A performer and writer for Cirque du Nuit, and an ongoing collaborator with Monument Lab, Al-Bustan, Guerilla Science and NYU Open Arts.
He is also the creator of The Telelibrary, a critically acclaimed telephone performance for audiences of one.
Occasionally, he sleeps.
