We aren’t trying simply to shift art that is meant to be experienced live to carbon copies online. Online collaborations that produce work that is meant to be experienced online can continue along with attending concerts at the concert hall.
Up Close From A Distance: Cineplex’s Stage Series Returns
The productions are captured by several cameras that allow the audience to see the performance from centre of auditorium—which is similar to watching a live performance from the best seats in the house.
Rolling Thunder
In 1987 I was hired by the Rolling Thunder Theatre Company for a ten-week contract. Brainstorm with the cast, write and direct a new play, then wave bon voyage as the Thunder van ambled off for ten months of touring.

Phase Three, Good Philosophy, and Phallic Portraits
What’s the difference between a Canadian actor and a Canadian Sex worker?
Star Fuckers, Serial Monogamists, and Anal Sex Anonymous
Most people who proudly identify as “serial monogamists” remind me of puppies. They’re fun for about three or four months and then people start getting tired of their shit.

I’ve Got the Time
I had just been complaining that I never have enough time to do shrooms.
Cat’s in the Cradle and a Car Ride

Shit Holes, Buckets of Shit, and Piece of Shit Racist MPs
