When the Chicago Symphony Orchestra commissioned me for a short work for their youthconcerts, they sent me to Whitney M. Young Magnet High School for inspiration. I met with aclass of orchestral students and asked them who is their village, the people who support them in their lives. I invited the students to respond through drawing artwork or writing poetry. Students answered in a number of creative and unexpected ways: one student drew a house with her mom holding it aloft like a bodybuilder; another drew a collage that included his friends and family as well as his favorite possessions; another wrote free verse poetry on how the student’s village in the stories he (or she) writes.I was most intrigued with a drawing that consisted of three pairs of legs, each wearing sneakers. When the student presented her picture to the class, she explained that her village is her track team, represented by the legs, as well as her parents, who support her endeavors and purchase her running shoes.There’s a Village in My Sneakers begins with a single runner putting on her shoes, then running laps alone around the school track. She is soon joined by a friend who runs alongside her. As she jogs, she thinks about her parents who support her and purchased the sneakers she’s wearing. As more teammates join, she realizes that her village is all around her, from her friends running alongside her to her family that supports her, all embodied by the sneakers on her feet.
