TEDxBrainport - Lucas Maassen - Singing is the new sitting May 31, 2011

Favorite:

At two o'clock in the morning, the "singing chair" performance created by artist Lucas Maasen, could not have been a better way to conclude the first TEDxBrainport. Already from when he 'was a little chair', Maassen's singing chair dreamed of being on stage. And he's quite upfront about his ambitions: "The stage is my home, the spotlight is my sun, you are my water and I am thirsty." A remarkable performance that included some subtle messages, and which the audience loved.

About TEDx.
TEDx was created in the spirit of TED's mission, "ideas worth spreading." The program is designed to give communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at the local level.

At TEDx events, a screening of TEDTalks videos -- or a combination of live presenters and TEDTalks videos -- sparks deep conversation and connections. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis.
