TREVOR COPP
I started out as a street busker and am now among Canada's top Mime practitioners. I studied at the Marcel Marceau school in Paris and continue performing in hundreds of corporate and private events. I have performed mime to over 40,000 students, partnered with professional symphonies like the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and the Festival of the Sound, and tour with my award winning solo shows, 'Searching for Marceau' and 'Bulfinch's Mythology.' I have been accepted into Cirque du Soleil's performer roster. Looking forward to deepening my solo mime shows through new works. Click photo for more.

I'm a former Latin/Ballroom dance competitor and instructor. In addition to performing and choreographing, I co-created/tour with a gender neutral partner dance approach, 'Liquid Leading,' which launched in a TED Talk with 800,000 views. My Dance and Mime expertise has led to Movement Coaching/ Choreographing for the Shaw Festival, CanStage/Studio 180, Irish Classical Theatre, and University Theatre programs. I'm also an avid Salsa clubber and I've danced in 19 countries. I've also coached 2 sets of Salsa dancers who went on to take world Salsa titles. Click photo for more.
