Jalisa is a Saskatoon-based artist who is excited to take the stage at Nextfest for the first time! She splits her time between acting, clowning and stage management. She holds a BFA in acting from the University of Saskatchewan and has trained at the Manitoulin Conservatory for Creation and Performance. Being a well-rounded theatre professional is something that is very important to her and she is thankful for the opportunities for emerging artists that Nextfest provides.

The Birds, The Bees and The Clowns is written and performed by Jalisa Gonie
