Searching for Marceau finds a budding young mime trying to make sense of his two fathers: the real one raising him and the far away Marcel Marceau. The imaginary and the real battle in this theatre/mime piece reinvents Marcel Marceau’s mime tradition for the 21st Century. This piece has toured to Ottawa’s Undercurrent Festival, Kitchener’s Registry Theatre, Toronto’s Pia Bouman studio, the LIVELab at McMaster University, the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts, Red Deer Alberta’s Prime Stock Theatre, the Royal Botanical Gardens, and the Toronto Fringe Festival where it received 5 Ns from NOW Magazine, 3/4 stars from the Toronto Star, and the ‘Cutting Edge’ Award. Trevor Copp Trevor Copp founded Tottering Biped Theatre (TBT) in 2009, known for its commitment to original, issue-driven, and intensely physical theatrical work. As a multifaceted theatre professional with over 20 years of experience, Trevor’s expertise spans acting, dance, directing, choreography, education, and arts advocacy. His dynamic career has taken him to classical and contemporary stages across Canada and in more than 40 cities worldwide. Trevor went from street buskering to professional mime, creating/touring his solo shows which have performed to over 40,000 audience members. He studied at the Marcel Marceau School in Paris and qualified for Cirque du Soleil’s performer roster. He has taught/coached physical theatre for The Shaw Festival, CanStage/Studio 180, Theatre Beyond Words, Pat the Dog Playwright Centre, Zacada Circus, Irish Classical Theater, The Iberoamerican Festival in Bogota, and the six University Theatre Departments. Trevor is also a former Latin/Ballroom Dance competitor and has coached Canada’s two sets of World Amateur Salsa Champions. He co-invented a gender-neutral form of partner dancing whose TED.com talk has garnered 800,000 views/international speaking engagements. “Copp is a captivating performer, as skilled in verbally conveying heartfelt emotion and landing deadpan laugh lines as in conjuring all kinds of objects, animals and experiences through his precise physicality” – Karen Fricker, The Toronto Star “In this unconventional and enthralling solo show about Copp’s love of mime, we’re treated to a talented performer who digs into his past to unpack how he thought outside the mime box to elevate his art.” – David Silverberg, Toronto NOW Magazine
