Damian Bazadona To Discuss The Future Of Performing Arts With One Day University

Damian Bazadona, the Co-Founder of TEDx Broadway, will be the featured guest lecturer at One Day University on Friday, December 11, 2020 beginning at 4:00pm EST. The talk, "Arts After the Pandemic" will be live-streamed online for One Day University's 20,000+ global audience. One Day University normally features over 200 top professors from universities across the country. Bazadona is only the third guest lecturer outside academia to be featured by the edutainment leader. Other talks in this specially presented series, which includes notable thought-leaders outside of academia, include Governor Andrew Cuomo and John Cleese.

In this talk, Damian Bazadona will speak of the expected changes on the horizon for how patrons engage and consume arts, theatre, and cultural experiences. He will also touch on how the relationship with the concept of "connection" will need to evolve in a post-pandemic world. As a guest lecturer with One Day University, Bazadona says, "I've been familiar with the One Day University's audience for many years. I know they love theater as so many others do, including me. It's not surprising they're extremely interested and concerned about its future, and I look forward to sharing my thoughts as best I can."

In describing the nature of the talk, he adds, "Through the impact of COVID-19, a light switch has been turned off on our collective ability to attend arts and cultural experiences in person across the globe. This disruptive moment in our lives is also creating a disruptive moment in how arts, theatre and cultural organizations will think about delivering experiences as we ultimately move to a post-pandemic world. So, I'm excited to be presenting this lecture online and exploring new opportunities for connection and engagement with One Day University's global audience."
