Guess whose favorite muppet is Gonzo?

Meet Adrien Braun (they/he) from Hartford, CT! Adrien is from Trinity College in the class of 2026, majoring in Theater and Dance with a Directing and Playwriting concentration. They will be focusing on acting at La MaMa.

“I’m a q***r, multifaceted performing and visual artist dedicated to inclusion and authenticity in my work. I’m kind of like if a tortured artist and a killer clown from outer space made a baby that was raised by wolves.”

Adrien is excited to meet and collaborate with brilliant, like-minded creatives and experience the rich artistic offerings of New York City!🗽

As June is coming to a close, it’s time to introduce the TLM class of 2024!

Up first, meet Maci Mo-Ledet (she/her) from New Orleans, Louisiana! Maci is a visiting student from Tulane University in the class of 2026, majoring in Public Health and Dance! She will be focusing on dance at Trinity/La MaMa.

“As an artist, I am always looking to learn, change and create. Through art and dance, I am able to express myself in ways that words don’t capture. I can explore deeper parts of myself and share that with the world. I believe anything and everything is and can be art. As an artist, it is my job to help people understand the world around them through visual, audible, and even physical senses. It is important to me that I help people feel and grow, expanding the bounds of what they knew before. I am so excited to be in NYC dancing and exploring my creativity!”

More introductions are coming up. Stay tuned to meet the rest of the cohorts!
