Research Study Executive Summary Event

Artists who have been part of The Riser Project and Generator programs are the first to respond to the Executive Summary.

On October 27, 2017, Toronto Arts Foundation and The Metcalf Foundation co-hosted an event to share the Executive Summary from a two and a half year research study on two innovative new models: Generator's transformation and Why Not Theatre's The RISER Project. Commissioned by Toronto Arts Foundation with the support of The Metcalf Foundation, the study, originally named Means of Production and started by Sherri Helwig was later re-envisioned and completed by Helen Yung under the current title, Sector Developers: Generator and The RISER Project, Building up independent theatre in Toronto. 

The full research and discussion paper was later made publicly available - it can be viewed here. You can also find excerpts specific to Generator here.
