LIVE SCREENING
TICKETS: £14
PERFORMANCE TIME: 7pm.
This February, BY Experience is proud to present for the first time ever in cinemas worldwide, the global phenomenon known simply as TED – a thriving movement propelled by ideas that are transforming the world. The general public will have the previously unimaginable opportunity to experience the “opening night” of TED’s legendary annual conference, alongside its equally legendary VIP audience.
Hosted by TED’s curator Chris Anderson, the theatrical screening of this event will debut the first evening of TED 2016: Dream (held in Vancouver, Canada from February 15-22), featuring world-renowned thinkers, artists and storytellers who will share their “ideas worth spreading” about the greatest dreams we are capable of dreaming. What emerges is a spirit of wonder and optimism that represents the world at its best.
The makeup of that opening session is pretty special: the evening kicks off with a TEDx star, 10-yr-old Ishita Katyal (new addition to the lineup) who will share her DREAM for the future she is inheriting. From there we have a spectacular vision of the future from the head of Alphabet/Google’s X group Astro Teller, an amazing and slightly terrifying biotech talk from Riccardo Sabatini, the incomparable Shonda Rhimes (showrunner for some of television’s hottest current programs), a return to the TED stage from the multi-million-views TED speaker Dan Pallotta (new addition to the lineup) and a closing performance/talk from the iconic choreographer Bill T Jones.
The Prime Minister of Bhutan has been moved to a different TED session, and will no longer be featured as a part of the cinema event.
Please note that the talent is always subject to change but this is the current line-up that TED has shared with us.
