During a bit of quiet time this weekend, I hit up the TED website to see if there were any cool talks I could post up to share with everyone, especially after hitting up one of their events about a month ago in Washington, DC, TEDxMidAtlantic.
One of the things I'm really big on with the entire TED concept is that you have different people from all over the world expressing their ideas, concepts, projects, etc. to people in a short time frame to spark minds and conversations - 18 minutes or less.
While this year's DC area TED talks weren't posted up officially yet, I just wanted to share this pretty interesting video about the power & future of performing arts, which I think is really important for the music and entertainment world in general, especially with Black Music.
Give it a view and let us know what you think! :)
Talk Description:
Arts administrator and live-theater fan Ben Cameron looks at the state of the live arts -- asking: How can the magic of live theater, live music, live dance compete with the always-on Internet? At TEDxYYC, he offers a bold look forward.
