Beauty will save the world | Shane Brown | TEDxTwinFalls

Professor and educator for over 20 years advocates for the arts as well as the sciences. Quoting philosophy and maths he weaves a tale that accomplishes a timeless beauty; the arts & sciences not only fulfill individuals, by providing a place of self-actualization and exploration of our humanness, they impel us as a species to create and achieve. While this compunction to progress through creation can be a danger to our very existence as a species (global warming, the threat of AI, annihilation through acts of war and violence), the creation of beauty is a way forward, and may be the only option for our survival. “Beauty will save the world.” Shane began his theater career at the age of five where he played Henry in Finnian’s Rainbow, and has been an avid participant in arts ever since. He has taught theater and English for 18 years and is currently an instructor at College of Southern Idaho. He graduated from the College of Southern Idaho, and Idaho State University, and continued his graduate work in theater at the Ashland Center for Theater Studies at Southern Oregon University. He has served as the president of Idaho Speech Arts Teachers Association, and has sat on the Board of Directors for the Idaho High School Activities Association, and was twice awarded Idaho Drama Teacher of the Year, and outstanding theater educator by the National Federation of High Schools. He currently directs and designs for the CSI theater department, Stage Door, and The Random Acts of Theater. When not working theater or teaching, Shane can be found writing, creating or exploring the Idaho high desert and mountains on foot or in a kayak. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
