This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Nicoletta Demetriou beautifully describes the wonders of writing. In this TEDxUniversityofNicosia talk Nicoletta, an ethnomusicologist and tutor in creative writing, explains exactly how to go about writing in our everyday lives.
Nicoletta Demetriou studied music in Thessaloniki, Vienna, and London. Her PhD (School of Oriental and African Studies [SOAS], University of London, 2008) was in the field of ethnomusicology. Her research focuses on Cypriot traditional music, and particularly on how issues pertaining to ideology, politics, and identity influence the way traditional music is discussed and performed. She has also studied creative writing, specializing in life (auto/biographical) writing. Her current research is an attempt to bring ethnomusicology and life writing together, focusing on the lives of traditional music performers. Since 2012 Nicoletta has been a research fellow in ethnomusicology and life writing at Wolfson College, University of Oxford, and also a tutor in narrative non-fiction on Oxford’s Master of Studies in Creative Writing.

You may wonder how a beatboxer and an orchestra can work together?
Acclaimed beatboxer Tom Thum and classical powerhouse Gordon Hamilton show you exactly how, as they showcase their world renowned concerto for beatbox and orchestra, Thum Prints.
Together with The Bombay Chamber Orchestra, they deliver a never before seen sneak peak into this globe trotting symphonic project. At first glance, you’d struggle to find a greater example of artistic polar opposites, yet anyone lucky enough to have witnessed this creative alliance would agree that the two compliment each other perfectly.
Executing performances with some of the worlds most renowned orchestras, such as the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, Malaysian Philharmonic, Cologne’s WDR Funkhausorchester, Florida’s Imperial Symphony Orchestra, Nürnberg Symphoniker, and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra to name a few, the pair have been turning concert halls on their heads and continuing to wow audiences with this remarkable collaboration.

Владимир Познер не нуждается в представлении. Однако мало кто знает, что именитый журналист – заядлый автомобилист и любитель долгих путешествий за рулем. Именно по этой причине он стал новым героем нашей рубрики «Большое интервью».
Давид Акопян из Autonews.ru встретился с Владимиром Владимировичем и выяснил о его страсти к марке Jaguar, ностальгии по первым «Жигулям», отношении к электромобилям и проекту Aurus.
А еще Владимир Владимирович рассказал о журналистском долге, общении с Сергеем Доренко и нелюбви к Дональду Трампу.
Профессиональный журналист, блестящий интервьюер и великолепный рассказчик Владимир Владимирович Познер провел мастер-класс в Московском Институте Телевидения и Радиовещания «Останкино». В.В. Познер — один из самых желанных гостей в вузе, студенты ждали его с особым нетерпением. Это, безусловно, особое событие в жизни вуза.
Я покидаю Москву и лечу в Нью-Йорк снимать кино, документальное кино о хобо культуре, людях которые запрыгивают на товарные поезда и путешествуют на них по США. Для того чтобы найти таких людей мну нужно самому отправиться в путешествие на грузовых поездах через всю Америку.
