The evolution of King Kong: Dr. Tracy Stephenson Shaffer at TEDxLSU

LSU Associate Professor of Performance Studies Dr. Tracy Stephenson Shaffer presents a talk on the evolution of King Kong as a cultural icon and how he (as well as other icons) "performs" in multiple publics.
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)

I use this video in my Advanced Public Speaking class. We watch it as an example of how speaker's establish expertise, both verbally and nonverbally.
