In conjunction with The American Bar Association's Mediation Week, La MaMa is hosting a post show discussion entitled: From Revenge to Reconciliation: Lessons from Shakespeare’s Tempest.
Immediately following the October 19th, 4pm performance, there will be a post-performance
reception with panel commentary and Q&A with attorney/mediators
Peter V. Arcese (of PVA Counsel) and Thom K. Chu, director Karin Coonrod, and featured
cast members.
The panel will discuss how both
mediation and theatre skillfully manage the dynamics of power and
conflict to create the conditions for resolution and
transformation. Themes will include the voluntary nature of mediation
and freedom from reactive behaviors, the safety of a collaborative
environment in experiencing conflict, the links between empathy,
imagination, recognition, and empowerment.
This diverse panel of seasoned collaborative professionals (female,
male, younger, older, Asian-American, and African-American) will share
stories and experiences gained through dealing with conflict in the
arts, in families, and in commerce. The panel
presentation will link how the onstage representation of conflict can
create an awareness of alternative dispute resolution processes. The
panel will show how the collaboration between audience and actor, just
as between parties and mediator, can create outcomes
that reflect our deep human values.
