CIIF TOME
with FreeRoam Theatre
by Jhi Rayner (Wagga Wagga)
Sitting atop a pedestal in golden glory is a collection of leather-bound stories. Memories. In a land of paper, the pages are turning and there is no telling what will come out.
Dr Tim Kurylowicz, the Executive Director of Eastern Riverina Arts describe Tome as “plaintive realism, fourth-wall shattering absurdity, imaginative physicality and raw experimentation all in one show”.
Rayner is a rare theatrical commodity; a director who develops an advanced understanding of the artform from the practical application of serious study, yet who recognises the value of true improvisation and develops and obsession for it. Even less likely, he remains based in regional NSW, leading his FreeRoam Theatre to a level of professionalism unrivalled by other independent companies outside Australia’s major cities.
In Tome you’ll see how mainstream theatre practice can meet improvisation and take you on a wild ride through the relationship of both.
