Muse Conversations
Monday September 16th, 1–3 pm and 7–9 pm
Take part in Zeldin’s live Muse Conversations on Monday September 16th.
You will be invited to enjoy a ‘Menu of Conversation’ opposite a total stranger. By working in pairs through a six-course feast of questions, participants will reflect on how they are spending their lives, drawing new conclusions from their own experiences and gaining an understanding of one another.
Your encounter will be both absorbing and permanently memorable. It will change your world, even if just for a short time.
Theodore Zeldin CBE is an Oxford University historian, philosopher and author. He has been a pioneer in revealing how relationships and emotions such as love, fear, loneliness, friendship and ambition have evolved in different civilisations over the centuries, and most importantly, how they can be changed again today through a new kind of conversation that creates trust between strangers, new ways of working that avoid boredom and new attitudes to rebellious youth and forsaken old age.
“Absolutely wonderful! I do not remember when was the last time I had this kind of conversation with anyone.”
– Manager, Asian Cultural Centre, Oxford City Council, UK
“I have really enjoyed the experience a great deal. The Conversation is a fantastic idea. I enjoyed meeting, talking to and listening to my conversational partner, and she has restored my faith in younger people and the tolerance of different people in the world.”
– Regional Deputy Secretary, Communication Workers Union, UK
Executive Producer of the Muse Conversations: MiklagårdArts
