Get caught in the storm

byWilliam Shakespeare | directed by George Mount

IamatthefirstrehearsalofThe TempestasIwritetoyouandIamstruckbythis:Mysenses have been pummeled by cutbacks, layoffs, reductions, contractions. As if wewereinastageofhumancompression—howcanwemakeourselvessmallerthanweare?That’sthemessageoureconomy,ourgovernment,andourmediaaretellingus.AtleastthatiswhatIamhearing.

Andyet,asIsitintherehearsalroom,withanintrepidgroupofartistswhohaveenduredacutbacktotheirrehearsaltime,Iwitnessnosignofcontraction—onlytheexpansionthatcomeswithcreation.Theopenhearts,enthusiasm,andsenseofpurposeisvisibleonthefacesofallintheroom.

AndIfindmyselfgettingabitemotional.Onceagain,it’stheartists,underpaidandoftenunder-classed,marchingforwardagainstAgincourt-likeeconomicoddstocontinuetocreate,toexpandourspirits,toserve.

Italmostwouldn’tmatterwhichofShakespeare’splaysweweredoingatthisspecialtimeoftransition—theyallofferwhatweneed,butthereisaserendipitoustimelinesstoexploringThe Tempestrightnow.

We,asasociety,thougheverevolving,arewakingupaswetransitionintooureconomicrealities.Wearelearningtoletgooftheexpectationswemighthavehadforourfutures.Wearelearningtoletgoofwhatweoncethoughtwasnecessaryforourexistence.Weareopeningourselvestoanewexperienceasweletgoofthesethings. Itmaylookbleak,itmaybeemotionallybatteringandintellectuallyconfusing,butwearewakingup.Andawarenessisastatethatisspirituallymandatedforgrowth.

The Tempest isabout transitiontoo.And lettinggo.Andultimate forgivenesssoonemay move on. And moving on is what our species does best. We are flexible, notwithoutpain,butit’sinourmusculaturetobendandgrow.Always,thereishope.The Tempestpresentsuswithshiningthoughtsabouteachotherandhowweliveourlivesininterconnectedness.Mirandasays:

O, wonder! How many goodly creatures are there here!How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,That has such people in it.
