Jens Jeffry Trinidad is a Filipino-Norwegian performing and creative dance artist with a background from X-Ray Youth Culture House in Oslo, where he started with hip-hop in the late 90s, member of the crew Cre-8 (formerly Dancing Youth). He is rooted in street and club dance and has been freelancing in performing arts, TV, and teaching since 2006.

He has worked with choreographers such as Hooman Sharifi/Impure Company, Elle Sofe Sara, Manuel Pelmus, Panta Rei Dance Theatre, Rosalind Goldberg, Camilla Tellefsen, Chriz Nypan, Anne Golberg Stavn, Harald Beharie, Viktor Fröjd, Ingeleiv Berstad, and Pernille Holden.

His recent self-produced solo work, SHOUT, and other original works clearly reflect the artist's collective background in street dance and club culture, while also resisting genre-based conventions. His works carry an inherent activism that questions what is valued, by whom and where; which bodies, movements, sounds, practices, cultures, and experiences? 

Trinidad was also involved in establishing MUD-Session Oslo (a concept by MAWU, NY) in 2015, and the street dance curriculum at Edvard Munch Secondary School in 2014.

Jens received the State Artist Grant from 2015 to 2017, and later from 2021 to 2024. Trinidad is also employed by Skuespiller - og danseralliansen. (Actor and Dancer Alliance.) Jens Jeffry Trinidad received the Rolf Gammeleng’s award 2024 - for meritorious efforts in stage performances.
