Children of the Revolution

Introducing our shoe of the month

If you feel like creating some controversy, walk up to anyone who is into running and say something like “running barefoot is the only way to run.”

And then duck.

Fivefingers are our new great love. Not beautiful – sure but really, really comfy.

Here’s what their website has to say about them.

Wearing Vibram FiveFingers is more than a choice of footwear. It demonstrates trust in our body’s natural ability to handle physical demands without heel wedges, gels, air, pronation control, ankle support or rockers.

We are designed to walk, run and play.. barefoot.  There is no secret that allows the Masai to move with such effortless grace, just a lifetime of barefoot movement. With this understanding of how we are made, we can liberate ourselves from the ideology that has most of us wearing shoes before we can stand.

FiveFingers are the first performance footwear that don’t try to alter your foot’s natural movement, but allow all the benefits of going barefoot with a gecko-like grip and protection from the elements.

So for the month of September we are making these fabulous shoes our “Shoe of the Month.”

What does being a shoe of the month mean?

We just had to share this lovely, lovely email from a new customer

I am a first time shopper at Children of the Revolution, but I did start off with 3 pairs of shoes. After having 4 kids & completely changed feet, I’d resigned myself to aching feet in ill-fitting
shoes for life … but now, I’m excited to have found shoes that are
bliss!Yesterday, I took my COTR gorgeous red wedge heels(courtesy of Clark’s) out for a test day of shopping. Such comfort with funkiness is a fantastic combination! Thanks for the high standard of service and great products. I am a convert, and will be back soon!

Win a double pass to While Others Sleep

The gorgeous people at the Judith Wright Centre are offering a double pass to While Others Sleep on 15 August. It looks great.

Here’s what it’s about.

Contemporary dance and live jazz collide spectacularly in this anticipated new full-length work by critically acclaimed Australian
choreographer Natalie Weir.

Inspired by a book, by the same title, of contemporary photography authored by Peta Neylan and edited by Naomi Mendoza, the production While Others Sleep explores interior late-night worlds, where hidden identities and complex dualities are let free.

Weir creates three vignettes of intensely physical and highly emotional contemporary dance underscored by seductive live jazz by popular Brisbane trio Misinterprotato. Set in cabaret mode, this is contemporary dance at its sharpest – flirtatious, salacious and utterly
bewitching.

While Others Sleep is a major production by Expressions Dance Company, Judith Wright Centre and Misinterprotato. The performance marks a significant milestone in the history of Expressions Dance Company and Judith Wright Centre, who are collaborating for the very first time.
