Buf­foon­ery for Drama Teachers

“This was a fan­tas­tic work­shop for high school per­form­ers; it really allowed them to lose some of that self-​consciousness inher­ent in teenagers. It was a great bond­ing activ­ity, and it improved the stu­dents act­ing in only one day! Thank you, Trilby. ~ Jane Hastelow, Blue­field High School, P.E.I.

Buffoonery Workshops - Trilby jeeves - Testimonial

Blue­field High School, PEI

  • Using “Le Bouf­fon” drama stu­dents loosen up & con­nect with their char­ac­ters in a play­ful and full expression.
  • Bar­ri­ers break down and the stu­dents want to work together as a team; as a cast.
  • Feel­ing safer, every­one has fun, and they are hap­pier with their performances!

“I learned to be able to act more ridicu­lously in front of peo­ple with­out car­ing about being judged. I now feel less ner­vous acting/​buffooning in front of peo­ple or a crowd.” ~ Tay­lor Rush, P.E.I. Canada

“I loved your work­shop with every sin­gle minute move. It helped me so much for get­ting together as a group and find­ing my own per­son­al­ity. It was a lot of fun and I hope that we will do that again some day. Thank you for your help.” ~ Johanna Wast­mann, Ger­many & P.E.I. Canada

Bolder drama stu­dents — post buffoonery!

“It was fab­u­lous! You helped me come out of my shell, and show me who I really am. Thank you for show­ing me that it’s okay to stand out.” ~ Mea­gan Toole, P.E.I. Canada

“I had so much fun! It was a fab­u­lous expe­ri­ence – we learned so much. Our act­ing has improved, and the day together really helped us bond as a cast.” ~ Mor­gan Wag­ner, P.E.I. Canada

“I had a won­der­ful expe­ri­ence and I learned that it doesn’t mat­ter if my buf­foon isn’t like my char­ac­ter, because my buf­foon can act and have a sweet time.” ~ Erica Ross, P.E.I. Canada
