TEDxIBYork - Alex Sarian

Born in Toronto, Alex is an IB graduate of St. Andrews School in Buenos Aires, and currently serves as the Director of Education & Outreach at MCC Theater in New York City. Alex believes there are many advantages to exploring education through the arts. He is an arts education professional dedicated to cultural and educational programming. He is a passionate advocate of the powerful cross-disciplinary impact of culture, education and the arts.

Alex uses his own artistic experience as a performer on stage and film, as a composer for theatre, and on the production side of the theatre to infuse a student-centred approach to creative education.

Alex has worked in New York, Puerto Rico, Rio de Janeiro, Barcelona and Buenos Aires, so he is confident his approach crosses cultural boundaries. Lately, he has been reflecting on how his IB education helped him on his path to cross-cultural learning.
