Zombies everywhere!
I don’t know if I’ve said it before, but sometimes I really have a lot of fun acting. Over the past few weeks, I’ve really had the chance to do things I’ve wanted to do for a while thanks to playing the host of JC Sunshine’s Fireside Chat. I got to attack the Death Star in an x-wing and get beamed around for our sci-fi episode and last weekend I was part of a zombie movie which you can watch tonight
Back from Guelph
Posted by Jason in Arts, Imported Posts, My Acting, Travel on February 13, 2008
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. The Albion was also the last place in Guelph we visited.
Going to Guelph

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.
Some culture jams
Posted by Jason in Imported Posts, My Acting, Politics on January 11, 2008
I’ve talked about some of the culture-jamming I’ve participated in here, but never posted any of the videos. Here’s a recent jam of Chartwells, the company that has monopolized food service at both Concordia and McGill universities…
Buffalo infringement: an outsider’s perspective
Posted by Jason in Arts, Imported Posts, My Acting, Travel on August 4, 2007
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).
Playing with a changing script
Posted by Jason in Commentary, Imported Posts, My Acting on March 11, 2006
Other players affect any actor’s performance. When some of the players are playing by a different script, things get interesting. When their script can change at any moment, the outcome of the scene is anyone’s guess. On the morning we were set to culture-jam American Apparel, we didn’t have any clue how things would turn out.

- 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.

The Toxicity of Gold
Posted by Jason in Commentary, Imported Posts, My Acting on November 12, 2008
A little over a year ago, I was proud to take part in a culture-jam alongside the FAO, a group of jammers from Cerro de San Pedro, Mexico in front of the main CIBC branch in downtown Montreal. We were protesting
