makes me cry like nothing else", his search for a populism he can stand behind and his debts to continental critical theory together to find strategies and tactics for proposals, change, being part of the world and a having good night out.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black">Jacob Zimmer is a director, writer, dramaturge and performer who has shown work across the country. Born in Cape Breton and growing up in Halifax, he now lives
in Toronto. Jacob is the founding director of Small Wooden Shoe, a (mostly) theatre company bent on relieving alienation by proving that good ideas are entertaining and that pleasure and critique require each other. Jacob works in dance as a dramaturge with
Dancemakers and in an on-going collaboration with choreographer Ame Henderson/Public Recordings. He was the inaugural Toronto Fringe Research Chair looking into a “Populism we can stand behind." He’s given talks at Performance Creation Canada (Halifax 2008,
Caravan Theatre 2010,) the Glenbow Museum (Calgary 2010) and at universities. With Misha Glouberman, he organizes the UnConference on the Future(s) of Toronto Performance (a partnership with Canadian Stage, Small Wooden Shoe and Dancemakers.) He has organized
and facilitated events for Upper Toronto, the Literary Managers and Dramaturges of the America's, Harbourfront Centre and MASS LBP among others. Jacob studied theatre at Simon Fraser University’s School for the Contemporary Arts and was an intern with The
Wooster Group and studied Viewpoints, Suzuki and Composition with Anne Bogart and the SITI Company in New York. Jacob received the 2008 Ken McDougall Award for emerging directors and was nominated for the Pauline McGibbon Award from the Ontario Arts Council.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
