Small Steps, Tiny Revolutions Small Steps, Tiny Revolutions (2008) Length: 23 minutes Music: Steven Sametz Lighting: David Finley Costumes & Sets: Drew Francis Small Steps, Tiny Revolutions, set to an original score by Steven Sametz, tells the story of a young boy and his estranged father. The boy's forbidden desire to dance leads him into the fantastic land of the shapes and his father's poignant search to find him shows the transforming power of love. Whimsical sets, costumes and dramatic lighting create the environment through which the boy, his father and the audience make their magical and touching journey. Geared for young people and family audiences, Small Steps actively involves local students in the creative process through a series of workshops, giving them a special opportunity to perform on stage with professional dancers. Small Steps, Tiny Revolutions was commissioned by Zoellner Arts Center, Lehigh University, with support from Kathryn Dyer, Just Born, Inc., The Morning Call, The Rider-Pool Foundation, Heather Rodale, Deborah Sakarakis, John Sakarakis, Marc and Susan Vengrove, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Additional support was provided by the Kenneth French Fund for New Works.
