Playwright working at the intersection of performance and cycling culture – Writing

I’m Dara, 36, female. I’m a playwright and theatermaker who runs a theater company called Agile Rascal Theatre. We create new works with environmental themes and tour them on our bicycles. Currently we have done a coast-to-coast tour of the United States, as well as tours of Montana and Florida. For each project we bring professional artists from all over the country to create a new work that explores the environmental themes of that region, and then tours them on bicycle. It’s part performance, part adventure art, part environmental awareness campaign.

Propositions artistiques en échange de la résidence (oeuvres, cours, ateliers, dîner, concert...) : I'd be happy to offer a staged reading for you and your community, or offer a playwriting lesson in exchange for your space. Additionally, I also offer professional editing, ghostwriting and coaching services, and would be more than happy to help you with your own work.
Description environment are you looking for ( nature, urban, other…) : I'm open to lots of different kinds of environments, as long as the experience is new and rich with creative inspiration
Describe your projects for a residence : For our next project Agile Rascal will be participating in Bethlehem, PA's Festival Unbound. The project we are exploring for the festival will be a first for Agile Rascal. Instead of bringing theater to our audiences on bicycles, as we have in the past, this time we will lead our audience members, on bicycles, to the theater! We will lead our audiences on bicycles to various locations throughout the town, and the play we perform will unfold over a series of site-specific locations. This piece will be an innovative and unconventional addition to the theater festival, which is expected to draw over 10,000 participants and attendees, and will meld performance and cycling in completely new ways. You can learn more about Touchstone and Festival Unbound at http://www.touchstone.org and https://festivalunbound.com/

Description of the type of workspace needed (office, studio, rehearsal space…) : An office is required. Some kind of larger rehearsal space is always nice for standing things up, but not required.

    Writing - Toulouse (France) - 29/01/2026

    I have been working on writing a novel for several months. It will be a book combining passages written in prose and illustrated passages, with parts of the narrative carried by drawings over several pages. So far, I have mainly done research in many directions. I am now looking, including in February and March, for a place where I can write the first draft of this story about a seaside village in good conditions.

    Poet Seeking Writing Residency – Writing
    Writing - Saint-Gilles (Belgium) - 01/08/2025

    I am Siméon MB, I am a poet and I am looking for a writing space to begin a first collection of poetry, “Chant à quatre voix (provisional title)”. I'm looking for a calm place where I can start structuring things, putting my texts together, and putting them into shape. A place that I could live in for a while, around which I can get some fresh air at times. And perhaps also have an outside perspective. In exchange for the residency, I offer a collection of poems in the form of a fanzine, a reading or a sound piece.
