EducActor | Vighnesh Prasad Kizhepat | TEDxUniversity of Birmingham Dubai

What happens when the stage meets the classroom? In this personal and thought-provoking talk, the speaker explores how a background in acting shaped a powerful, dynamic teaching identity. From Shakespeare to TESOL, they draw parallels between scripts and lesson plans, audiences and students, performance and pedagogy—inviting us to reimagine education not as authority, but as artistry. A call for educators to step beyond the script and embrace creativity, empathy, and performance in the pursuit of real change. What happens when the stage meets the classroom?
