After celebrating another round of successful new shows in RISER 2016, we're happy to announce applications are now open for RISER 2017! RISER is a new collaborative producing model for theatre artists and companies to create and present new work. We developed it in order to address some of the challenges of producing independent theatre in Toronto, including: high cost of production, difficulty building audiences and inefficient use of resources and infrastructure. Do you have a show that is or will be ready in about a year that needs producing support? Are you a project-based artist with some experience producing independently? If yes to both, RISER could be for you. More info about applying here.
"The RISER project is going to help shape the future of theatre in Toronto. Instead of waiting around for existing systems to evolve, Why Not Theatre has taken it upon themselves to bust shit apart and look at it from a different angle, to actively try to actually change things. It’s brave and it’s damn exciting."
– Amy Nostbakken & Norah Sadava (RISER 15, co-creators of Mouthpiece)
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS:
Monday July 4th 2016 at midnight
Please email all submissions in a single PDF to contact@theatrewhynot.org and we will confirm receipt.
