Seeing each other

3/21/2017

One of the reasons I’m drawn to the theater is that plays are an invitation to get inside of perspectives other than our own. It's like being let into a secret club. Theater creates space for empathy. It’s easier to create this space with a story than just in conversation. I love Seth Godin’s thoughts on how empathy is a bridge.
 
Theater is about seeing each other, recognizing and accepting each other for who we are.
 
How can we see and hear each other in our every day lives? At work, at home? Stories help. Being open to sharing our perspective helps. Being open and listening to other perspectives helps, too.
