- THE RURAL ACADEMY THEATER -
 HORSE DRAWN APPALACHIAN TOUR

The Rural Academy Theater is a collaboration of individuals, two-legged & four, creating theater for primarily rural audiences in response to the growing urbanization of our culture, economy, food, education, media & art. Their annual horse-pulled tour brings performers, musicians, sculptors & dancers to town greens, college campuses, theaters, riverbanks & farms via horse pulled wagon & bicycle power. They perform evenings of original theater under the stars or clouds using their wagon as their stage followed by a healthy dose of classic silent cinema accompanied by the Rural Academy Orkestar. The rest of the year they create theater, installation art, concerts, dances, feasts & all sorts of other gatherings that bring communities together to celebrate & ponder what it means to be alive together in this place, at this time.  

EMMA JOINED THE TEAM IN 2014 AS A PUPPET MAKER & PERFORMER.
