YANG Yi, a young pantomime actor in Chengdu, is also a courage dream explorer. In 2010, he occasionally found that pantomime art is no longer in a boom period, but he firmly thought that pantomime itself is just like a seed to be found and cultivated. Then Yang Yi began to devote himself in pantomime art, founding a drama troupe to run some seminars, workshops, research and talks. He brings pantomime into people's daily life and a wonderful platform for experiencing art. Yang Yi believes that pantomime, as the most original type of stage arts, can establish the real communication between people.

Theme: Authenticity 返璞归真

Forms of communication are increasingly moving away from traditional human forms toward entities less attached to human interaction. Technological progress and the emergence of different electronic communication networks have paved the way to new definitions. What is the new definition of communication and is it as authentic as the first? Our theme "Communication: Authenticity" references this and our program invites speakers that divulge their communication through different media and processes to provide answers. Our goal is to connect these people together with a common action that presents a greater meaning.


Session 3: The Source 起源

Monologues are wherein the speaker or writer addresses an imaginary person, inanimate object, or idea. In writing they have no apostrophes, meaning they are not spoken but are internal. Where does the idea come from and how does it change the moment it is let out?

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."Factory 798″, also known as 798 Art Zone in North-East Beijing, is the largest and most influential art district in China that houses a thriving artist community and hosts world-class international and Chinese exhibits. It is where the event host UCCA is located. However, "Factory 798″ stands far more than a place name. "Factory" being the core originator and catalyst of the modern world stands for growth, innovation and change. The three digit number "798″ symbolizes the country's cutting edge art movement led by a new generation of change makers. "Factory 798″ has been embracing the most original ideas in the burgeoning country.
