As another successful TEDxYouth@Hewitt event comes to a close, it’s time for us to pull from the experiences of the speakers and find our own sparks to subsequently flame and ignite. As a writer and actress, I was particularly inspired by the performances of Sophie Beem ’17Darren Arthur, and Malcolm Wicks.

In order to gain a deeper insight into their stories, I decided to ask each performer three questions:

  1. What inspired you to begin your creative journey as a performer?
  2. In what way do you hope to inspire the audience at today’s conference?
  3. Where do you see yourself going from here?

Play the audio clips below to listen to their “short takes” and visit the TEDxYouth@Hewitt livestream to watch full videos from today’s event.
