As well as performing in up to 40 plays, Trilby worked for 20 years in the theatre, (Confederation Centre Theatre in PEI, The National Arts Centre, The Banff Centre), & film industry as a set costumer/supervisor .

Her directing debut was for the Victoria Playhouse in PEI with “Ned & Jack” by Sheldon Rosen.  Later, she directed the French Canadian premiere of “Les Monologues du Vagin” in Vancouver, two years running, “The Importance of Being Oscar”, and “The Memory of Water” for First Impressions Theatre.

Trilby has taught classes in improvisation throughout the school system in British Columbia, en Français, and is currently teaching her “Buffoonery Acting Workshop” in Canada, and has also taught in Puerto Rico & Singapore. With her partner, Peter D. Marshall, she co-trains film-acting/directing workshops.  As a writer, Trilby enjoys blogging, poetry, and playwriting.  As an actor, she has worked for the Vancouver Film School directing department, & still loves the theatre.  Currently, Trilby's Buffoonery Acting classes are part of the curriculum at VanArts (Vancouver Institute of Media Arts).

She is super passionate about helping actors break through their critical and overworked thoughts to reach the honest depths of instinctive performance.

Equally passionate is her love to help anyone who needs to reconnect with themselves, play, and let loose in life; hence, buffoonery in professional development.

“Buffoonery Teambuilding Workshops” has found its way into the business sector as companies and organizations are needing unique, active, fun, and effective activities for their Professional Development Day.  For self-development, health retreats, “Buffoonery Wellness Workshops” provides a lighter approach to re-connecting with the self.
