TEDxKrungthep - Jennifer Hartley - "The Truth in the Lie"

Dr. Jennifer Hartley studied theatre (acting and directing) and therapy after completing a degree in Literature and Linguistics in the UK. From here she developed a working practise that combined art and therapy to work with issues of oppression worldwide. She is a specialist in using drama theories and methodology to work in challenging settings and runs projects in a number of countries. An international speaker, lecturer and trainer on both theory and practice, Jennifer specialises in therapy through drama working in Applied Theatre, from which she has developed her own methods; a practise she now uses to work with minority and oppressed groups internationally. Jennifer also writes for and directs theatre worldwide. Her publications include academic studies, plays, poetry and prose. Jennifer is also the founder and director of the UK registered charity Theatre versus Oppression.

What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxKrungthep, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxKrungthep event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

Evidently the truth is paradoxical. An interesting and thought-provoking take on the subject. I would like to see some of the work on stage.

JEnnifer Hartley is truly INSPIRATIONAL and she has shown us the different aspects of theater. Truth in a lie is thought provoking disscussion that she has talked about.

The things that Jennifer is doing is truly exceptionable and amazing.

I have been blessed by working with her . She came to our school and we worked on Theater of Oppression. Every workshop that she taught us were amazing and made us think about the truth behind it.

AMAZING PERSON TO WORK WITH.

GOOD LUCK AHEAD
