This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Whatever happened to the handwritten letter? Elspeth reminds us of the importance of the physical object, the DNA transmitted through the touch of finger on pen on paper, and the poetry of memory when we have a letter in our hand.

Radio Bristol, has written for TV, created work for theatre, short story collections and cinema; she has her own cross-platform ideas creation company - 2BU Productions.
She is an experienced creative workshop facilitator, having run her own MA module in Narrative at Norwich University of the Arts, and taught children and adults of all
levels. Elspeth is also a communications consultant.

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)
