Special Event: From Revenge to Reconciliation: Lessons from Shakespeare’s Tempest
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.

TEMPEST 3: The Tide is Rising
October 2 -November 2, 2014
TEMPEST
The world-premiere of a new production of TEMPEST, adapted and directed by Karin Coonrod, with music by La MaMa veteran composer Elizabeth Swados (La MaMa Cantata, Runaways, Kaspar Hauser). The international and intergenerational cast will feature Reg. E. Cathey (The Wire and House of Cards) as Prospero, and the 14-year-old star of Broadway's Billy Elliot, Joseph Harrington as Ariel. Director Coonrod notes similarities between Prospero's world and ours today, noting, "Prospero re-enacts power games on an island - just as Manhattan is an island - and it is the non-human Ariel who is fascinated by humanity's power to love and reminds Prospero of his humanity. The play demonstrates a juxtaposition of time present and timelessness - hence, we will begin the play with a pendulum swinging: a signal of impending disaster and a reminder of time moving forward. A warning."
Tickets: $40 Adults; $30 Students/Seniors. 10 @ $10 tickets are available for this performance, in advance only.
