TEDxCluj - Mihaela Panainte - The change through theater July 1, 2011

Favorite:

Mihaela Panaite was born in Bacau and she moved to Cluj 8 years ago. She is a stage manager, director at Sala Mica, the first independent theater from Cluj within the Independent Cultural Center, "Fabrica de Pensule". She graduated in opera stage management at "Gheorghe Dima" Music Academy, Cluj-Napoca. She first directed a puppet show, in an unconventional space...a dental surgery. Her last directed play was "Scaunele"(Chairs) by Eugene Ionesco, produced precisely in a chairs factory, with the raw materials, the assemblies and the equipment as scenery and the factory workers -- the actors, all of these emphasizing the predilection and the unconventional.

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.
