Participant Testimonials
"The most enjoyable part of this day in Brighton for me was participating in a
cabaret workshop, for people to develop their creativity, confidence and
communication skills led by a cabaret artist and performer Maria Trevis. In a
space with 12 participants approximately 4 had been to something like this
before. It proved a great opportunity for me rediscover my leadership and
directorial skills when we were split into smaller groups to devise short pieces of theatre... it was so nurturing and really gave the participants the opportunity to become comfortable with the material we were working with.
By the end of the workshop all the shyness and self critique from participants had left the room mostly due to the way Maria layered elements of performance slowly on top of one another like Lego building blocks allowing the confidence in the room to build at a steady and satisfying rate…and it has given me back some of the confidence and determination to believe in myself again."

"Just a brief note to thank you for the Cabaret, Confidence and
Communication workshop you ran in Brighton earlier this month. It lived up to
its description and delivered everything you promised! You inspired and motivated the group in a sensitive and entirely nonthreatening way. At the beginning of the session I wouldn't have believed I'd have been comfortable performing a song, making percussion noises and acting in front of a group yet two hours later I'd done all this."

“I found you very energetic...helping and supporting us to do some very
interesting and good work in a comparatively short period of time. You were
always encouraging …You had a very easy manner about you which made it
easy for us to work with you and with each other...thanks you again.”

“Nice mix of activities enlivening and fun and a little bit of pushing my
boundaries with the song bit at the end. Great the way you got us started
straight away...Well done!”
