I have a deep respect for all of these performers, they each bring a different aspect to burlesque some very traditional some fusion and some down right messy. They each have their specialty and all of them are as awesome off the stage as they are on it.
This year I get to judge. Already I can see several competitors are from Ontario and from other regions of Eastern Canada. Both year previously I competed and now I get to watch. Im not sure how I feel being at a competition and merely making small ticks on a score sheet!

Im proud to be a part of this huge competition with over 70 competitors. A part of me wants that spot light again, but I have learned humility on my way to being a great performer. I wish all of the competitors luck.

Just before I stepped on stage I realized there was a few performers who were a threat to the defense of my title. When I was on stage I felt the rush of being alive that drugs and regular life just cant provide. There I became blue fire phoenix and let compassion rule my performance, whereas, last year I was red phoenix and won with brute force and fury. When I exited the stage I felt disappointed because I delivered less than perfect results ( I dropped once during the routine) I paced and...

Fight the permit system as it is before we loose all rights of self expression. City permits that disallow performers from out of country/city/state from performing is against freedom of expression. Permits that charge unreasonable amounts and prevent non-permit holders access are infringing freedom of speech, lets change this together

defending the title is a big challenge. Montreal will be hosting Maitres du feu 3, fire performers from all over Quebec will be competing in an attempt to dethrone last years champ. Doing my best this year isn't going o be good enough, to defend Ill have to do something I have never done before. Last year I went to war against 30 of the best with handcuffed fire staff and emerged victorious. Armed with massive poi and brutal double fire staff Im going to attempt to keep the title as "the mast...

This permit was never negotiable, before the permit we organized ourselves> If your going pay enforcement make them performers at least. You spen 20000 a year on byward market bylaw busking enforcement and then try to milk 200 a year from people who make their living on the street. We never agreed to pay 200 a year that was imposed upon us taking away our freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.Ottawa you were the last city to fall beneath the dark rain cloud of greed.

this is in response to part three where panhandlers were compared to buskers (3 min mark) we dont take out the bills or the bigger coins because were proud to have those because were providing a service and not just asking for money. We even make a joke about:" Ladies and gentlemen over the past 20 min I risked my life for your mere entertainment, ask yourself this question, would you risk your life for less than a 20, I sure wouldn't, if you don't have one there's an atm over there" ( and po...

when tuckers market first became "a busking spot" I was in support for the large circle shows, but opposed to paying a huge ransom for it. Traditionally the busking spot was at the grande by alde dubliner and now were told that spot inst a busking spot. Their response was anytime after 8 we don't care mentality. Buskers should be running the busking program and not the city the byward market permit is just another epic fail attempt at forcing money from peoples pockets into the city. No wonde...

dear Robert Cress did you know that street performing is actually good for tourism. cirque du soleil began as a street performance and is now multinational. Busking is one of the last freedoms without this outlet amazing performers have no way of expressing themselves to be discovered by the public. I have attempted to obtain permits to perform in Calgary but I always got the same run around. Insurance, fire permit, pyrotechnic licence and a city permit just to ma... read more

just before the blood ballet grad, the performers decided to perform a freshman finally, featuring all of our hot dancers. Summoning spirits and addressing all the issues of that freshmen face, clichés such as nerds, crushes, and a little weird science, teachers and students unite for one final bloody feature.

May 1st was a great show for pyrometheus, we were thrown in on the fly with the director of the show with no previous rehearsal and still the audience loved every second of it. I wore a tribal cloth and chased her around the stage with fire eating torches, then when I lit my mask and tied up the host my partner lady torch lit her fire fingers and began the flame touch torture, fortunately the host got away before we got too crazy

I still dont understand hat the purpose of the 150 permit is for its not for the safety of the performers because they are self regulating with a draw a...

let me get this straight, we have to pay for a permit to perform downtown, and were asked to perform for tips at a festival. Somethings not right here...Its a well proven fact that Canadians don't tip well. For example have you ever noticed that most Canadian bands travel to the states to become famous, its because the average Canadian citizen has been brought up to believe that buskers are the pan handlers of our time. I think it would be fair to offer a small wager on top of being "pe... read more

Another amazing performance in Ottawa as a guest performer along with several other special guests and the crew of So you think you can dance. The fire show will be mostly outside with a small amount inside ( probably just fire eating) So if your in Ottawa and you read my blog come on out.
fire phoenix and lady torch will be combining with 2 comedians for a half time show at Lion D'or. Were gonna be kicking off the new year with some fire fingers, some laughs, a man lighting himself on fire, an anglo exterminator piece and a bit with a chainsaw. were hoping for some pics and maybe some video.

Im a busker, and in the last 5 years I have watched the noose get tighter around the necks of street performers. Cities raising permit costs to performers from100-450 a year and all the good busking locations that were free are now forcing to permit. I thought placing a permit on free speech was illegal? I have 16 years (with insurance)...in this time I have watched great performance locations like Venice Beach California and The Byward Market in Ottawa enforcing bully tactics. I mean we perf...

Such an amazing experience, the labrynth was differant every day, the chill tent was sweet and the main stage with the adding of art and other entertainment. I would highly recommend anyone who reads this to check out this festival in Ontario. Namaste and untill next year. This festival was built from a foundation of love, pure intention and manifestation. If anyone out there...

Canada day was epic, Worked the tag team pitch besid stunt double circus and showed my rookie partner how to feed the circle. After like 10 shows on the middle of Rideau street, I headed up to meet a fair ammount of the Local fire group from Ottawa. We had 3 spinners at a time and 4 safety personel with 2 large extinguisher and a huge 25 foot safety blanket. This is the first time the city has worked with the local fire folks. I think its time we get serious for next year.

The circle acts have united and our voices heard the city had bent to our will. By not enforcing the rules the buskers again are self governing system in place, the circle acts have returned to the tradition of draw and cue. Now tell me what the point was again to having the permit....oh ya right I forgot its Ottawas money grab...well not in my pockets.

From the powers that be a street performers spot is black listed in the byward market. Conditions of the permit state that busking by the Pour House is prohibited. The reson behind this is to prevent circle shows from flowing onto the road blocking oncoming traffic. This point is well supported, however, small circle shows should have the option of performing there after hours (if they can control their audience) this was the pitch 2 years ago and is still active but Large circle shows should...

Well Im only being partial resistant to the permit in the byward markert, The city has vowed to open up a few more good spots for the buskers ( mainly circle acts which I happen to be) however I just perchased the bare bones permit for 50$ instead of buying the "green" permit I dont plan to pay the city another 150$ for the ability to claim a spot, my favorite spot happens to be always available and no one ever signs for that spot. I will sit the spot until someone forces me out or a signed u...

We were the first act at the very back left of the parking lot. I was wasnt surprised to find the majority of the group hanging o...

alas the great busker city state falls, the last free space where artists can truly have the freedom of expression. The truly great musicians refuse to perform in Ottawa because of lack of artistic vibe and now this 200$ YEARLY PERMIT FEE. Et tu Ottawa. I see politics hath been with u.

My first show was today at 3pm it was a success, great crowd for its size, wonderful cheering and decent tip out. The organiser requested no audience participation ( I didnt use fire) No throwing of fire ( which means no juggling, Poi or fire staff) which is 90% of my street act. Once again I have to modify my show to Please the MAN, liability insurance or not. The fire phoenix will rise from the ashes...knives are a go but to anyone who tries to busk at Grandville Island the permit is nonref...

i have seen many performers some good some bad, but what really defines a performer is one who can make the show not have the show make them. Some performers have loads of skill but put them on a stage and make them tell a story and few will meet the task. a true entertainer will take smething simple like 3 juggling balls make a character and then define it, breathe life into it even if its a silent piece an entertainer developes the character with emotion... which sad to say i see a lack the...
