“What a journey! Thank you for creating a safe environment for us to find our buffoons and explore! I have been recommending the course to friends all day!” Lee Ann Keple, Vancouver, Canada Actors…Discover your Inner Truth! 2 Day Buffoonery Acting Workshop with Trilby Jeeves Vancouver, BC - January 24, 25, 2009 Are you “director proof?” Would you like another acting tool? Through “Le Bouffon” the film or theatre actor will find a route to authentic, believable and committed performances. And have FUN!! What is "Le Bouffon?" Based
on the teachings of Jacques Lecoq of Paris, the “Le
Bouffon” is an exploration of the ironies, and absurdities of
human existence. “Le Bouffon” comes from another
world,
perhaps the inner world of the planet. Its grotesque appearance
liberates its character to mock, imitate, and laugh at the rituals of
the human being, and get away with it. His opinion is made clear
through his large, exaggerated gestures. Mimicry is his ultimate
pleasure.
But this isn’t about becoming a clown…
Buffoonery is one of the best ways to break through a stiff, conscientious performance to one of un-distracted commitment. You will develop a tool for creating well-rounded characters with minimal information. You will have a chance to exercise the wholeness in your being from the top of your head to the tip of your toes. And,
did I mention, have FUN!!?
“Mediocre
Performance is not characteristic of the Buffoon.
“Au contraire” A Buffoon’s performance is completely and utterly involved.” Trilby Jeeves A great tool for rehearsing auditions and performances!! You
will learn to develop your buffoon through a series of exercises using
your own physicality. Eventually, you will
“Buffoon” a prepared scene or
monologue in order to make unexpected, honest
discoveries
that will feed your work. In taking a short scene to it’s
exaggerated level you will have a tool for “getting out of
the
head and into the body”.

taught by Trilby is one of the most innovative methods of layering any
actor's character. It is a must for any serious actor who wishes to further hone their craft and honour themselves as both a person and an actor. SOOOO MUCH FUN!" Charlene Luedke, Vancouver, Canada Who is Trilby Jeeves and why should I Buffoon with her? Trilby Jeeves was the
first
English student to be theatrically trained in her second language for 3
years at Le Conservatoire d'Art Dramatique in Quebec City. She followed
the teachings of Marc Dore(who studied at Lecoq in Paris), Paule
Savard, Jean Guy, Denise Gagnon, Yves Erik Marier, and Jacques Lessard
who created the "REPERE" method of creating theatrical work, with
Robert Lepage.
She went on to perform in both languages, eventually coming back to Vancouver. She worked with Theatre La Seizieme, The Raymond Burr Theatre and other smaller companies. Also, in between working as a costumer in the film industry, Trilby directed "Les Monologues du Vagin" two years running as well as teaching improvisation and buffoonery en francais, throughout various schools in B.C. Trilby is passionate about helping people break through their critical and overworked thoughts to reach the honest depths of instinctive perfomance. Having been through "Le Bouffon" process herself, she understands the release of being completely involved in performance and not worrying about the million things are minds believe to be important. It really is a gift! “Finding my buffoon
has brought me closer to myself and in turn will help me
connect to others and find the truth in my work. For that I am forever grateful!" Jen Clarke, Vancouver, Canada
