Jeff was born in British Columbia, Canada on a lake inhabited by a giant mythical
serpent. An intensely rehearsed magic show for his extended family at 5 yrs of age
won him early praise, despite losing the crucial rabbit. Jeff’s mother still owns that
magic kit. The rabbit, however, is still missing.
Moving to Montreal, he trained in Decroux corporeal mime at l’École Omnibus, and
continued in Le Coq techniques, pantomime and theatrical clown under veteran
Cirque de Soleil clown, Rene Bazinet. In 2007, Jeff was invited to a clown
improvisation master class with the notorious Michel Dallaire at Le Hangar des
Mines in Sébastien d'Aigrefeuille, France.
As Mr Bunk, Jeff has entertained hundreds of thousands of people around the world. He performs regularly in arts festivals, variety theatres and cabarets throughout
Australia, North America, Europe and Asia. Currently, Jeff is in development of
UMBRA, a multi-disciplinary theatre show using shadow puppetry, mime and
clowning.
Jeff lives in Montreal, and dreams of the day when the rabbit will return. |
