 Dale Carnegie Free Workshop: Storytelling in Business: How to Motivate, Inform and Inspire - Santa Ana
Tuesday, January 28, 2020
9:00 - 11:00 AM
Dale Carnegie understood the power and the art of storytelling. He studied great leaders and illustrated his findings in How to Win Friends and Influence People many years ago. Today, Dale Carnegie Training helps leaders and individuals leverage storytelling to become more successful team players and leaders.
Illustrating concepts through storytelling is a powerful way to engage and inspire others. Stories connect people emotionally and intellectually, and studies have shown that people remember stories long after they’ve forgotten factual details. Leaders who can convey their vision via a compelling story inspire their teams to accomplish their goals.

 UCI Illuminations presents: Macbeth: A Lecture Demonstration by Tang Shu-wing Theatre, Hong Kong
Tuesday, February 4, 2020
6 p.m.
In 2012, Tang Shu-wing Theatre Studio was invited to present their landmark production of Macbeth at London’s Globe to Globe Shakespeare Festival, at the Globe Theatre. In this unique lecture-demonstration, artistic director Tang Shu-wing will discuss this fascinating physical theatre production of Shakespeare’s Scottish play, and members of the Studio will present several scenes from the production. Inspired by the eastern and western traditions of physical theatre, this version of Macbeth transmits the spirit of the play through a succession of stylised images, where body expression, physical movements and live accompaniment expose the characters' relationship as well as the director's vision of time and space.
This event is the 2020 Kirk Davis Jr. Public Shakespeare Lecture. Additional support from UCI Shakespeare Center donors and UCI’s Center for Asian Studies. Free admission. Public is welcome.
