Tell Me What It’s Called – The RISER Project
Part of The RISER Project
There’s always a space between how you and I understand something. What does that encounter look like? In the laboratory/experiment Tell Me What It’s Called, director Ximena Huizi and a dynamic group of collaborators use an image-based devising process to build, refine, reframe, distil, discard, and build again. The audience is invited to encounter the laboratory as it unfolds, informing and allowing the continuing evolution and morphing of the experiment throughout the run.
*A note on ticket prices for RISER: In order to ensure accessibility, Why Not Theatre invites you to Pay-What-You-Can-Afford.

About The RISER Project
In order to create more access and opportunity for artists, Why Not Theatre is looking at new ways of producing theatre in Toronto for independent artists. The RISER Project brings together a community of senior leadership and emerging artists, to support the artistic risk that independent artists must take in order to create and innovate. The model is designed to maximize existing infrastructures by sharing resources, risk and energy to reduce the producing burden on artists. RISER senior partners for 2018 are Aluna Theatre, Buddies in Bad Times, Cahoots, Factory Theatre, fu-GEN Theatre, Modern Times, Necessary Angel, Nightwood Theatre, Obsidian Theatre, Shaw Festival, Roseneath Theatre, Theatre Passe Muraille and The Theatre Centre. RISER is made possible with the generous support of the Government of Canada.
