Dances with words: John Halpern at TEDxAlbertopolis

Depending on which newspaper you read, you might know John Halpern as 'Paul', 'Dada', 'Mudd' or 'Punk'. As cryptic crossword setter for The Guardian, The Times, The Financial Times, The Independent and The Daily Telegraph, he sees wordplay everywhere, from street signs to restaurant menus, where 'desserts' might be 'stressed' backwards and 'spring water' is a rearrangement of 'tiger prawns'. In this heartfelt TEDx talk, he shares his belief in the power of words and wordplay to bring people together. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
