Meet Trinity!
TRINITY CRAVENS (she/her/they/them) is the daughter of Tinker and Katrina Cravens. They were born in Evansville, a smallish large town in Southern Indiana where she grew up with her mother’s illustrations covering every wall in the house and her father waking up the neighborhood with 70s rock, building classic cars in the driveway. Growing up, Trinity was always encouraged to use their imagination to the fullest, and participated in every community show that was available to them and even won “Best Big Fish Story” in kindergarten (where she told a thrilling story about a young girl saving a dolphin from the jaws of a giant shark)!
Throughout her adolescence, Trinity found inspiring mentors in The Arts wherever she went. From competitive dance instructors who taught her the power of personality and storytelling through movement to an Italian guitar master who taught her the restorative power of music, these wonderful mentors gave her a language that transcended speech. Trinity was incredibly lucky to be welcomed with open arms by so many incredible artists, and they sponged up every morsel they could. After dancing competitively for many years, at 14 yrs old, Trinity began teaching and choreographing at D’alto Performing Arts Studio and Achieve Academy of Dance to help pay for dance, acting, acro, and voice lessons. She immersed herself into a chosen family that encouraged her individuality, gave her direction, and strengthened her skills on top of it all.
After graduating high school, Trinity headed up to Muncie, IN where she received a BFA in Musical Theatre and Dance. After graduating, Trinity hopes to continue to tell stories that utilize theatre, dance, music, and art inclusively. They believe that there is a richness to the stories that welcome all mediums of art. That it creates a space for the best lessons, the best escape, the most growth, and the best light for representation. Because what else are we doing this for, if not for those we know who have their own "Big Fish Stories" that they never got the chance to tell?
