#141 - Stephan Dickson

In this week’s episode I sit down with Stephan Dickson. Stephan Dickson is a choreographer and performer and was the associate choreographer for both The Music Man and The Rocky Horror Show this past year at the Stratford Festival. In our conversation today we discuss his training in dance from an early age and how a danced based education has benefited him in his life and career, what spoke to him about musical theatre specifically, as well as the importance of being able to use the language of every aspect of theatre when working on a show both as a performer and a creative team member. We also discuss some of his most positive experiences in the industry so far and what made them so positive, his transition into working as a choreographer and the advice he would give other performers looking to do the same, as well as where he sees theatre in Canada headed in the future.
