RISER Project 2020 runs April 10 – May 9 at The Theatre Centre.

RISER Project is a collaborative producing model for theatre artists and companies to create and present new work. It was developed by Ravi Jain, Owais Lightwala and Kelly Read of Why Not Theatre in order to address some of the challenges of producing independent theatre in Toronto, including the high cost of production, difficulty of building audiences and inefficient use of resources and infrastructure.

For the 2020 round of RISER, we are supporting 4 productions at The Theatre Centre, and once again bring together a community of Senior Partners, established theatre companies that have larger capacity than independent artists. The Senior Partners contribute in kind resources, cash and mentorship support to the model, and over the course of the year we will facilitate long-term relationships between them and the RISER artists.

Justin Miller: A true incubation space that is not just about developing an idea, but actually seeing it through.

Amy Nostbakken: Support, which is somebody saying “We believe in your show. Go for it. Take risks. We’re here"

Annemieke Wade: RISER does it in a grassroots level that I think is indicative of what theatre is and what theatre needs to be.

Mumbi Tindyebwa Otu: RISER Project gave me a platform to take more risk as a director.

Justin Miller: They plug you into a network of artists that you might not even think about to bring your show to the next level

David Yee: What RISER does is connect you to a community not jut of senior artists but of like minded and kindred spirits.
