A few reasons for the existence of the blog:
I want to be able to write about what we’re doing, about performance, about the world in which we exist and other things I’m curious about.
We also wanted a way for people to follow our work between events, to be able to subscribe (RSS) and get updates even if they don’t use Facebook.
And I want there to be a discussion – I’ve always have been interested in a feedback loop between myself and others – it’s why I make work the way I do and why I get excited about the potential of this interweb thing. I’m not always great at generating online on discussion, but I want to be (any clues would be welcome.)
About Small Wooden Shoe:
Founded in 2001 by Jacob Zimmer in Halifax, Small Wooden Shoe is a (mostly) theatre company now based in Toronto. [where the name came from]
We believe theatre is a useful tool to think-through, feel-out and change-up important social, historical, political and other everyday issues.
Small Wooden Shoe engages with the world in a curious, critical manner while maintaining the need to perform – to step up and entertain. By being direct, honest and genial we hope to ease or transform the possible alienation between performers and audience while admitting difference. We do this in an attempt to find ways to ease or transform the possible alienation of contemporary life while admitting, if not embracing, difference.
