The Buffalo Infringement Festival keeps getting bigger as it keeps getting better
Posted by Jason in Arts, My Acting, My Writing, Travel on July 30, 2011
Wow, feels like the last time I was writing in this space it was a year ago. Actually, wait, it was over a year ago. I was talking about the upcoming 2010 Montreal Infringement Festival. That went very well and then I went to Buffalo, that was incredible. I wrote about my experiences at this [...]
Let’s infringe again!
Posted by Jason in Arts, My Acting, My Writing on June 8, 2010
Well, it’s almost that time of year again! The time of year where a slew of critical artists invade the stages and streets of Montreal to artistically infringe on the monoculture that surrounds them every day. It’s almost time for the seventh annual Montreal infringement Festival! The new poster’s done, here it is
It’s that time of year again
I’ve been involved with the Montreal infringement Festival since it’s creation in 2004 and now, for the seventh year in a row, the fest is returning and looking for artists and volunteer organizers. If you’re not familiar with the fest, well, put simply, it’s a celebration of critical arts.

No, I didn’t find the time to report on our performance in/trip to Guelph, Ontario (see previous post) while I was there, so here’s a little recap: We arrived on Friday night and started off at The Albion Hotel, a pub/music venue that, I guess, used to be a hotel.

That’s right, in just a few hours, I’ll be heading out, along with the rest of the current cast of Sinking Neptune, to Guelph, Ontario to perform in the latest version of this verbatim theatre exposée of Eurocentric celebrations like the 400th anniversary (2006) of the supposed “first play” in North America, Marc Lescarbot’s Theatre of Neptune in New France which is racist against the First Nations.
Buffalo infringement: an outsider’s perspective

For the third year in a row, Car Stories played the Buffalo infringement Festival, for the third year in a row, I made it down and for the first time, I found a bit of time to write about it, albeit a bit late (as you can see, this article was started early August and was only posted in November). Now entering it’s third year, the Buffalo festival is, without a doubt, the largest in the International infringement circuit (so far).

- Off With Their Clothes! Glam Gam’s Little Beau Peep Show April 17, 2012Well, it's 2012 and we got one of the first signs of the oncoming apocalypse early. Troupe founder Michael J.
