In this week’s episode, I sit down with Jesse Weafer. Jesse Weafer is a Canadian actor, singer, and dancer who has worked in the theatre industry as well as film and television all over North America. In our conversation today we discuss his experiences growing up performing and the things in his life he owes to his dance training, his early experiences in the industry and the shifts he has seen in the Canadian theatre landscape, as well as the rise and decline in popularity of talent-based reality television shows and how they have helped our industry. We also discuss the importance of looking objectively at yourself and honouring the rest and recovery you need to sustain yourself in the theatre industry, his experience of stepping away and re-establishing himself in the Canadian theatre industry and the advice he would give other performers trying to establish themselves in a new community, as well as his focuses looking forward and where he hopes to see theatre in Canada headed in the future.
