Acting illuminates how we live. If your career plans -- as well as your life plans -- include interacting with other human beings, an acting class is great preparation for facing the world's challenges.

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)

This video illuminates life lessons in very poignant and direct ways...using the mantras, "Who am I? Where do I want to go [who do I want to be]? and how am I going to get there?" Ann introduces us to a guideline for making life's important decisions.

Underneath it is interpretation...then dissolution, which a character demands

[@katieorjonikidze-casey6516]

Great!

[@billybobdeniro]

Interesting lecture. Makes me think about the relation between acting and the social sciences. Might acting one day become an actual science? Something to think about.
