“The Buf­foon­ery Act­ing Work­shop was so help­ful in open­ing me up to being freer in my act­ing. It chal­lenged me to push past my inse­cu­ri­ties and fears and into this ter­ri­tory of the unknown. It was a jour­ney of self-​discovery and ulti­mately, of growth. I feel like my work has been pushed to another level because of the bound­aries I’ve had to work past.” Bron­wyn Angley, actor, Regina, Saskatchewan

~Work­shop Options~

“The Buf­foon­ery Act­ing Workshop”

“I think it should be oblig­a­tory for all actors to help them get out of their own way, get into their bod­ies, not take them­selves so seri­ously and find the joy of pure play. Per­son­ally, it reminded me of many aspects of the won­der­ful expe­ri­ence I had with Jacques LeCoq and burst the world of poten­tials in act­ing wide open for me again.” Mark Downey, actor/​singer/​songwriter

Gain­ing a use­ful tool for truth­ful, focused per­for­mances for actors, singers, & performers.

“The Buf­foon­ery Team-​Building Workshop”

“It was not only a great team build­ing expe­ri­ence but lots of fun! It def­i­nitely helped us push our bound­aries.” Elaine Wiens, North Shore Com­pass Centre

Build­ing self con­fi­dence, renew­ing your sense of play and enhanc­ing work with colleagues.

“The Buf­foon­ery Well­ness Workshop”

“I have felt that in my 73^rd year I’ve been slow­ing down but your class some­how reached inside my body and let me play and mime freely with no worry or crit­i­cism which was a gift that I have needed.Over the two days I felt at least 10 years younger!!” – Mag­gie Shore, Van­cou­ver, Canada

Learn­ing to laugh at one­self to heal, to embrace your foibles, and brighten the seri­ous in your life.
