She is the only English student to be theatrically trained in her second language at “Le Conservatoire d’Art Dramatique” in Quebec City.

For 16 years she has facilitated her Buffoonery Workshops for actors and also for non-actors in the private sector or as a public workshop. Her course has been part of the curriculum in the one year acting program at Vanarts for over 10 years, and the directing department at Vancouver Film School. Together with colleague Peter D. Marshall, Trilby also created directing workshops for directors seeking to better direct actors. Her favourite sessions beyond Vancouver were in Puerto Rico, Shanghai, and Singapore.
Supported by FilmPEI, Trilby also wrote and directed her first (award winning) short film, The Rolling Pin. For FilmPEI, she has also taught on camera acting classes with positive results.
Currently, Trilby lives in Prince Edward Island where she is getting back to her acting, writing another screenplay, managing her family’s wooded property and looking after her Mum and cat, Mister Milton.
