"I think as we become more civilized when we become less combative"
Misha Glouberman is a facilitator and designer of participatory events. He's hosted panels, discussions, and events with health care workers, transit activists, professional dancers, homeless parents, Open Source software advocates, graffiti artists, Copyright experts, and Star Trek fans, to name just a few.
His working style combines analytic rigour (he worked for many years as a database designer, and has a degree in philosophy from Harvard College) with a creative people-centered approach (he has taught classes in improvised music and theater for many years).
He hosts "The Trampoline Hall Lectures", an interactive show popular with the arts and literary set in Toronto and New York, as well as "Terrible Noises for Beautiful People", a series of participatory sound events for non-musicians, among other projects. He believes himself to be Canada's foremost charades instructor, a claim that has thus far gone unchallenged. (Recorded on June 13, 2008)
