Togetherness

Playing in an ensemble, in theatrical terms, is underpinned above all by timing. The ability to sense what it is like to inhabit someone else's time, without bending it to one's own, is a special, generous talent. One person in an ensemble with it is enough. Two, and you really start to go places.

And in another sense of awareness of time, in the Islamic calendar today marks the beginning of Shaaban. A time to look ahead, for there lies challenge.
