The Kick & Push 2023
Take your seat, whether it be at the Tett Centre, the Kingston Grand Theatre, a park, a car, a house, online, an island, a haunted basement, or at a friendly game of basketball! All is possible as part of the Kick & Push Festival that puts artists front and centre, inviting audiences to enjoy the unexpected. The Kick & Push Festival is an annual festival of innovative performances first established in 2015 and based in Kingston that includes a Fringe programming stream as well as innovative, interesting, fun, and sometimes challenging works by award-winning Canadian artists. Festival performances will be held throughout the city.

Pandora in the Box
Pandora in the Box is a short, surreal comic, arranged into a maze for the reader to travel through as they follow the story. It experiments with comics formatting and layout, and reworks the Pandora myth to look at the nature of Hope. Is Hope a resource, or is it an active process? Can Hope be created? If so, how?
