   Small Wooden Shoe: General Info
Member Since6/22/2006
Band Websitesmallwoodenshoe.org/index.html
Band MembersSmall Wooden Shoe demonstrates the difficulty of demonstrating the effects of progress on our lives.

Dedicated to the Revolutions is a show about seven great scientific revolutions that are said to have altered the course of humanity. In grade school I remember a teacher listing off "The" seven scientific revolutions in history: Gutenberg, Copernican, Newtonian, Darwinian, Industrial, Nuclear, Information.

Many years later we aim to present you with demonstrations, stories, debates and songs pertaining to revolutions and their effects on our lives.

Bringing together lecture-demo, talent show and contemporary performance, this is theatre that engages the audience in an honest, informal way while maintaining the need to step up and entertain.

   About Small Wooden Shoe
Artistic Director: Jacob Zimmer
Artistic Producer: Erika Hennebury

sabotage , noun, French, from sabot – ... 3b : deliberate subversion
sabot - French, noun - a small wooden shoe.

Founded in 2001 by Jacob Zimmer in Halifax, Small Wooden Shoe is a theatre company now based in Toronto. Over our history we have made political agit-prop (Delayed Knee Jerk Reactions, 2001), hard-boiled detective radio (The Mysterious Death of WB, 2002), Chekhov adaptations (The Orchard, 2002), multi-media solo shows (No Secrets, 2003) and durational task based performances (Mostly Just Doing the Saturday Crossword, 2004) believing that developing a sound artistic practice shouldn’t limit us to one performance style or genre.

Since moving to Toronto in 2004, our work is characterized by a rigorous looseness and a dedication to the cutting edge of contemporary performance. We engage with the historical, social and political world around us in a critical manner while maintaining pleasure and entertainment as vital components.
