Agile Rascal Bicycle Touring Theatre
Share
Agile Rascal is a theater company that intersects live performance and bicycles
Our mission is to make innovative theater accessible, promote cycling as a viable means of transportation, inspire reverence for our natural landscape and foster creative connections between artists, activists and cyclists. We believe that art should be smart and funny, strange and lovely, and that it should be unstuffy, free, and inviting to all people. We aim to create shows that explore the many connections between our beliefs and values and the natural world that we are a part of. By touring on bicycle and creating from used materials, we challenge ourselves to imagine new and deeper connections to the earth, including the creatures and people who live on it. We work to build a community that: does a lot with a little, minimizes our impact on the land, works collaboratively, shares decision-making and responsibilities, and values different backgrounds, experiences, bodies, and abilities.

This August, Agile Rascal Artistic Director Dara Silverman will be heading up to New Hampshire for a residency at to continue working on the script for GHOSTRIDE for a possible remount.
After the success of GHOSTRIDE in 2024, it was clear there is so much more life in this piece. But there is also more work to be done to keep excavating the complexity, rage and compassion the piece holds.
MacDowell, with its bucolic landscapes, perfect (seeming) blend of community and solitude, and its ludicrous list of ‘who’s who’ former residents (along with plenty of probably equally-talented bread-and-butter artists you’ve never heard of) will hopefully be the perfect place to dig into this work.
Thank you to for the opportunity
