Swallow-a-Bicycle Theatre creates productive discomfort through art.

Swallow-a-Bicycle Theatre's mission is to create “productive discomfort” through art. “Productive” as in working in service of the health, wellbeing, and joy of artists, audiences, and communities. “Discomfort” as in: challenging the status quo of art and society; breaking down imposed boundaries; questioning what is considered “normal”; and sharing artistic work that doesn’t fit neatly into the silos of conventional disciplinary categories. We are committed to continually interrogating what we mean by “productive discomfort” in response to the shifting social and creative landscapes, as a means to subvert oppressive systems, and in service of our communities. We make art that leaves an impact, through processes that are nourishing, equitable, and community-engaged.
Founded in 2006 in Mohkinstsis (Calgary), Alberta, Canada, Swallow-a-Bicycle Theatre is currently led by Co-Artistic Directors Mark Hopkins, Mpoe Mogale and Kris Vanessa Teo Xin-En.
