Giving presentation at TEDx Talks conference in Boulder 2015

My presentation at TEDx Talks conference in Boulder, Colorado was titled, "Mastery through Leonardo da Vinci."

As I have mentioned in my talk, I have been following and researching about Leonardo da Vinci ever since I "met" him through the TV show back in 1972 when I was 10 years old.

I was able to paint my rendition of Leonardo da Vinci's "Ultima Cena / The Last Supper", which took me 2,000 hours. (Not a single penny was asked.) The main section took me 1,700 hours back in 1995-1996.I am happy and thankful that it is still on the classroom wall at the Waldorf high school I used to teach.



There are many things I have "realized" through the special experience of being able to share and communicate my ideas to the large group of kind audiences via TEDxBoulder 2015 conference.

First of all, as a performer, I "LOVE" being in front of a large group of people... larger the better!' It was an ecstatic, exhilarating experience facing 2,200 people!
...and at the same time I've realized that many of the Stand-Up comedians are doing this sort of thing weekly! ...without the script (nor the band members) and with a time limit! My admiration to those brave people!
Bravo to all the entertainers, teachers, leaders, and anyone appearing before a large group of the audience!
...but with the help of the kind, patient, understanding audiences... 

I also really appreciate the kind organizers and the crew members for their hard work prepping. We were in good hands.

Mastery through Leonardo da Vinci | Hikaru Miyakawa | TEDxBoulder


As another year draws to a close, I am reflecting on the exciting events which took place this year. There's one event that stands out above the rest. I was selected as one of the 12 presenters to give a presentation at TEDxBoulder 2015 conference back in September. It was a spectacular event, and I am very happy for the co presenters s well.

I'm really honored and happy to know that my presentation at TEDxBoulder 2015 was approved by official TEDx / TED organization, and it is available to be viewed via the youtube channel. 

It is titled, "Master through Leonardo da Vinci."
 
Please enjoy! Thank you!
