About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

don't be fooled into a debate about powerpoint. the question raised is: are we sacrificing creativity in this age of information? there is more than one way to learn. don't forget that 85% of the message is "meta language", which is conveyed by the body, through movement.

i enjoyed the performance - and at the same time it just reinforces an old, long standing paradigm... dancers are presented only as beautiful moving bodies presenting other people's work, not the ones making theory, not the ones with voices to talk about it. the true intelligence of embodiment needs to enter the academia, too. not only dance as a tool for others, but as a form of creating new knowledge.

Bohannon se teda pořádně vymastil, že?

I had a 16 minute advertisement and it was one of a TED talker, I watched 3 minutes of it before realizing it said click to skip ad in the bottom right...
