Student Organization Events & Information

  • 10/18 Speak at TEDxUConn 2020

    Hello UConn Performers!

     

    The TEDxUConn team is currently looking for any poets, dancers, singers, musicians, or comedians interested in performing at our upcoming social distanced TEDxUConn Fall 2020 conference, which will be held on October 18th, 2020.

     

    TEDxUConn is a student run group, licensed by TED, that independently organizes the TEDxUConn event each year. Our goal is to bring together members of our community to give talks and performances that provoke learning, inspiration, wonder, and conversation. Our conferences are structured around a theme, and our theme this year is Patchwork.

     

    How can one build up to something bigger than the individual and contribute to the whole? Each piece is unique and necessary, and each stitch is a connection. 

     

    This statement is meant as a guide and abstract starting point for your creative interpretation.  

     

    Please let us know by email if you would like to be considered as a performer by 11:59 pm on August 31, 2020, and we would be happy to send further information. We will invite you to audition over Google Meet or Zoom on a rolling basis. If you would like to nominate a colleague, we would love to reach out to them. Feel free to contact us anytime with questions and thoughts. 

     

    We currently plan to have our conference outdoors or live-streamed to maintain social distance. 

     

    Thank you for your consideration,

    TEDxUConn
