This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Mother to an autistic child, Kelly Jo delivers a touching exploration of the reasons she has shared her story in a very public way. It's not the sound-bite sized reasons she gives in interviews.
Kelley Jo Burke is an award-winning playwright, a dramaturge, director, storyteller, documentarian (for CBC Radio One's IDEAS), and was for many years, the host/producer of CBC Saskatchewan's radio arts performance hour "SoundXchange."
Her plays have been produced and published in Canada and around the world, including "Ducks on the Moon"(Hagios), "The Selkie Wife" (Scirocco), "Jane's Thumb"(Signature), and "Charming and Rose: True Love (Blizzard).
Kelley Jo has been a workshop leader in creative process, writing, performance, and creative non-fiction writing and production for more than 20 years. She is a cultural citizen, serving on arts juries, judging awards and competitions, a sought-after speaker and panel member for many conferences and arts events, past president of the Saskatchewan Playwrights' Centre, and past executive member of the Playwrights' Guild of Canada.
In 2009, Kelley Jo was awarded the Saskatchewan Lieutenant-Governor's Award for Leadership in the Arts, as well as the City of Regina Writing Award (her third time receiving that award). In 2008, she won the Saskatoon and Area Theatre Award for Playwriting.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event 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.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
