Back on Track

Our summer 2008 show was based on bicycles, on the old Bath to Bristol Railway Path.

Saddle up and join the caravan for a provocative and playful insight into the post-oil future of transport. Peddle into a world imaginatively forged from the inspiring stories of the old railway path. Happen upon Kilter’s trademark designs hewn from found recycled materials.

Audience Members

Back in the Bike Shed

Before or after attending “Back On Track”, audience members were encouraged to drop in to Kilter’s accompanying exhibition, “Back in the Bike Shed”.

Amongst the oil and spanners of a working bike-shop, roll up your sleeves and rifle through Kilter’s behind the scenes research.

Based at John’s Bikes Workshop in Walcot Street, Bath, we offered people the chance to interact with the show’s characters and get up close and personal with our devising process. We offered the chance for people with an opinion on sustainable transport to climb aboard a soap-box and let rip.

This is the video montage we showed at “Back in the Bike Shed”, made from rehearsal footage we shot whilst developing “Back On Track”.

This 15 minute film is designed to be watched by those who have been on the track. During our exhibition the film equipment was powered by a bicycle powered projection system.
