The special joy we feel as we gather together to experience a live performance is so unique. I have always had a hard time putting words to it. It is a feeling of “collective effervescence,” as dubbed by The New York Times. You know it. I know it. There is truly nothing like it. And it’s back!

This fall our building is buzzing

Sara Phoenix

with collective effervescence. Our local community organizations and national tours have safely returned to live performances and all of the TPAC’s community engagement programs are in full swing.

In addition to supporting our many local groups that share our spaces, the TPAC itself has created numerous programs that serve a wide range of people from our community. The Orbit Initiative hosts outreach programs both in our building and at 13 satellite locations around our city, where classes in art, music, dance and theatre are offered free of charge to anyone who wishes to join. Additionally, we’ve just finished up a week of our Any Given Child program in which we had thousands of Tulsa Public Schools kindergartners visit and experience a real live theatre performance. Our Brown Bag It lunchtime concert series is back too!

Engagement and outreach are central to our mission. This month the TPAC’s Imagination Series kicks off its season with DLUX Puppet’s magical production of “Peter Pan.” The show is crafted specifically for children and families and features life-size puppetry, actors and popular music from the ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s. Peter Pan teaches Wendy that “a brain filled with fear has little room for dreams.” The TPAC is proud to present this series along with several others that are geared to reach into our community and impact a wide range of people through the power of the arts.

After all, the more people in this world who know the feeling of collective effervescence, the better our world will be. Here at the TPAC, we continue to dedicate ourselves to that idea every day.

STIRRING TULSA’S IMAGINATION Art is truly an incredible thing. It brings people together. It sends us on journeys together. It calms. It excites. It takes us to places outside of our own worlds and minds. But it also does some other truly incredible things, particularly for young children in the prime of their development.

According to Americans for the Arts, varying types of art can do wonders for a child’s development: “A growing body of evidence suggests that at virtually every stage of life, the arts can foster openness to novelty, encourage connections to people, places, things, and concepts, and promote the ability to take multiple perspectives, among other positive outcomes.

“In a nationally representative study sample, parents who reported singing to their child at least three times per week had a higher likelihood of also 10

N o ve mb e r 2021 I N T E RMIS SION

reporting that their child had strong and sophisticated social skills, such as pro-social behaviors, compared with parents who reported singing to their child less than three times per week.

“Toddlers participating in a four-toeight month, classroom-based music education program to promote school readiness were more likely to increase their level of teacher-reported social cooperation, interaction, and independence over the school year, compared with a control group who did not receive a music education program.”

And those are just a couple of the many studies presented by Americans for the Arts and others showing the impact art can have on the social development of a child. Additional studies also show an impact on their emotional regulation and awareness and their learning capacities and

patterns. Overall, the arts seem to help us control and express our thoughts and emotions in more creative and productive ways.

Knowing that the power of the arts can potentially help youngsters grow into more well-rounded and emotionally aware adults is a pretty good argument for presenting art to children at a young age. But what if you could take art and the other STEAM — science, technology engineering, arts and mathematics — disciplines and create fun, educational art for the kids?

Well, you can, and we do! We call it the Imagination Series, and it is meant to introduce the performing arts to young audiences to help make learning fun. This year, our series consists of three shows: “Peter Pan,” “School House Rock Live” and “Professor Wow’s FunBelievable Science Show.”

Each show is shown twice: once in the morning, which allows schools and other learning institutions to bring their students, and once in the evening, allowing families to join at an affordable price.

We even host optional Family Fun Nights before the evening shows. Each Family Fun Night includes a light snack dinner and a fun craft that relates directly to the show about to be seen.

What better way to get kids involved in the arts than to give them craft supplies and set their creativity loose? For “Peter Pan,” a show that includes a mix of actors and life-sized puppets, attendees will get to make their very own sock puppets. Googly eyes and other craft supplies will be on hand to ensure youngsters can create to their heart’s content.

After the craft night, the show is sure to be a crowd pleaser. This particular version of “Peter Pan,” besides using incredible puppets, also includes lighting engineering and other elements that incorporate STEAM elements throughout the production, all while exploring difficult life concepts and skills. The production teaches children about the power of their choices and to place attention on what they want to create in their lives. Peter Pan teaches Wendy, “A brain filled with fear has little space for dreams!”

And while that might sound like a night watching a story you already know, it is anything but! The production is brought to life using state-of-the-art digitally projected scenery and popular songs from the ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s.

We can’t wait to see this classic tale come to life in a whole new way.

The second show of our series, “Schoolhouse Rock Live,” marks the return of a beloved blast from the past.

Many of us can remember classics from the original show, like “Conjunction Junction,” “Just a Bill,” “Interplanet Janet” and “Three is a Magic Number.”

Schoolhouse Rock originally aired on the ABC television network from 1973 to 1985 and was revived in the ‘90s and ‘00s. A collection of clever, animated

shorts that taught academic topics, including grammar, math, civics and science, it was well liked by teachers, parents and students alike for the fun animation, catchy tunes and incredible capacity for teaching complicated matters in a simple format.

Now, it’s making its return, exploding onto the stage, updated for a whole new generation with imaginative image projections and a rock’n’roll feel.

The live performance revolves around Tom, a nervous young schoolteacher, who turns on the television to calm himself down and is visited by three aspects of his personality who remind him that learning can be fun.

We round out the season with “Professor Wow’s Fun-Believable Science Show.” Watch science come to life as this zany scientist does experiments on stage. Experience the fantastic 12-foot-tall “Foam Monster,” the impossible “Balloons in Orbit,” the uproariously funny “Bernoulli TP Wipe Out Challenge” and the “SuperColossal Vortex Cannon.” Kids will learn that nothing is impossible — as long as it obeys the laws of science!

If you’ve been looking for something new and exciting to do with the kids — or know another parent looking — come check it out! Tickets can be bought individually or as a season through the Tulsa PAC website. One of the aims with this program has been to keep prices as low and affordable as possible to allow families to enjoy a fun night together, full of learning and laughter, without breaking the bank.

The Imagination Series is just one of the many ways the TPAC team is helping to bring the performing arts to more of the people in our community than ever before. Visit the community engagement section of our website to see the many ways we’re bringing art to everyone!

CONQUERING YOUR SECOND MOUNTAIN

David Brooks has been called one of America’s most influential thought leaders. He is currently an op-ed columnist for The New York Times, as well as a commentator on “The PBS News Hour,” NPR’s “All Things Considered,” and NBC’s “Meet the Press.” He’s had incredible success as a pundit and author.

But, for all his success, he hasn’t always felt fulfilled by his career and path.

In his newest book, “The Second Mountain,” Brooks discusses this phenomenon of getting somewhere you thought you wanted to go and realizing maybe it isn’t everything you thought it would be. When asked about the book, he notes: “Either you achieve your success and find it vaguely unsatisfying, which is more or less my story. Or B, you get knocked off your mat, you fail. Or C, something happens that wasn’t part of the original plan: you could have a cancer diagnosis, you could have a tragedy, you could lose a child. In any case, you’re stuck in the valley.”

Brooks himself has found himself in that valley: “I succeeded in career terms way beyond anything I had hoped I would. I got out of school and knew I wanted to write. … I remember I had a magic number of making $60,000 dollars a year. I thought that would be great. And then I got a job at the New York Times, which I had never contemplated. I got a TV career, and I also got a bunch of best sellers … every writer’s dream.

“I remember the first time one of my books hit the best seller list. I got a call, I was driving in LA, and I got a call saying I was on the list, and I felt absolutely nothing. It was like something that happened out there, and it didn’t directly affect my life at all. It was strangely blah, and you realize that the things you think are going to lead to happiness don’t lead to as much.”

Though his incredible success has not always helped to fill the void inside of himself, Brooks sees himself as a mild case of this phenomenon. “You get pretty awful stories of people who you think should have it all, but they don’t feel they have it all. I certainly know people in that camp.” Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain are two well-known names who were seen, from the outside, to be very successful, but, on the inside, might have felt quite differently.

That is, largely, what Brooks’ new book focuses on. When asked how he reacted to the feeling of emptiness, Brooks responds: “I was startled. Like, wow, this is supposed to be like eternal joy. But I’ve since learned we have a set point for how happy we are. If you win the lottery, you’re happy for like a week, and then you go back to your set point. And if you have a terrible accident, you have a month or two of really bad times, and then you are back to your set point.

“The set point isn’t determined by short-term best seller lists. It is determined by the strength of your values, the health of your relationships and that sort of thing, which are pretty different from the things that make you good at your career.”

So, what can you do if you find yourself in a valley? What if you climb your mountain only to feel no sense of success or happiness or fulfillment? What matters, according to Brooks, is “how you treat that valley. And some people are broken by it; they just turn hard or disillusioned, distrustful. Other people are broken open and they become more vulnerable and they get past the desires of the ego and decide there are better desires to have. And so, they reorient their lives to get back to the basics. And though the book was written before Covid, Covid has forced us to stay at home for a long time, and I think, through the course of this,

many people have reevaluated their lives in pretty fundamental ways.”

One of the important lessons in the book is how hardship makes us stronger and reintroduces us to ourselves throughout our lives if we allow it to do so. “When you have a hard time, you discover depths of yourself you didn’t know,” says Brooks.

One thing you may not expect going into a discussion with Brooks, a television pundit and extremely influential writer, is that he exhibits little to no ego. He will tell you that he is constantly questioning his beliefs, reuniting with himself and growing. And it isn’t lip service. His book is chock full of bits of wisdom from others, quotes he finds useful and hopes others find useful as well. When faced with his valley, it seems that Brooks decided to be one of those who broke open, allowing himself to be vulnerable and questioning his own ego.

In talking to him, one can’t help but wonder what the world would be like with a few more David Brooks to go around: thinkers who hold no ego but constantly search out the wisdom of others to combine with his own learning and experiences and knowledge and tuck it all into one clever package for the rest of us to uncover and use in our own journeys.

In a valley? Pick up a copy of “The Second Mountain” and take some advice from a man who has trudged through it and come out the other side a different person — a few times — and continues to grow and learn. We can’t wait to see what other nuggets he shares in his visit to Tulsa.
