Join Alan Alda, the beloved,
award-winning actor, director, and bestselling author, as he draws upon a
lifetime of experience in acting and science to share details of his career -
especially his fascinating quest on how to communicate better in all aspects of
our lives.
From the iconic TV show M*A*S*H
to his recent explorations of science on PBS, Alan Alda has been one of
America’s most beloved performers for over forty years. Join us for a special
evening with this screen legend as he discusses his life, work, and recent
exploration into the art and science of communication. With his trademark humor
and candor, Alan Alda’s
new book, If I
Understood You, Would I Have This Look on My Face? My Adventures in the Art and
Science of Relating and Communicating, chronicles
communication breakdowns in his life, from a life-changing misunderstanding
with a dentist to relating science to the masses as host of PBS’s acclaimed
series, Scientific American Frontiers. Drawing on improvisation
training, theater, and storytelling techniques from a lifetime of acting, and
insight from scientific studies, Alda shares a wide range of tools to relate to
others more effectively - from friends and families to the doctor, and from the
bedroom to the boardroom.
Alan Alda has earned international
recognition as an actor, writer, and director. He has won seven Emmy Awards,
received three Tony nominations, is an inductee of the Television
Hall of Fame, and was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in
Martin Scorsese's The Aviator. Alda played Hawkeye Pierce
on the classic television series M*A*S*H. Other films
include Woody Allen's Crimes and Misdemeanors, Steven
Spielberg's Bridge of Spies, and more. An active member of
the science community, Alda hosted the award-winning PBS series Scientific
American Frontiers and founded the Alan Alda Center for
Communicating Science at Stony Brook University. Alda authored two
bestselling books, Never Have Your Dog Stuffed: And Other Things
I've Learned and Things I Overheard While Talking To
Myself.
