We Band of Thinkers
By Movers and Shakespeares
About This Event

The bard boom comes to the AEI conference room, as "Movers and Shakespeares" pulls contemporary lessons from Shakespeare’s Henry V. Recently featured in the Economist, People, and Fortune magazines, "Movers and Shakespeares" has conducted day-long seminars for Wharton and Harvard alumni and MBA students, top brass of the U.S. Air Force, and many high-tech, entrepreneurial, governmental, and corporate clients.

During this fun-filled evening, Carol and Ken Adelman, creators of "Movers and Shakespeares," will investigate questions about war and leadership that emerge from Shakespeare’s Henry V. Showing clips of the 1989 box-office hit film, the Adelmans will lead interactive discussions on ethical problems that face leaders and thinkers today. The finale will include a smashing performance by the "AEI Band of Thinkers"--a troupe of "volunteer" actors from among the participants who-garbed in pumpkin shorts, king’s robes, hoop skirts, and knightly armor--reveal their previously unrealized talents as Shakespearean actors.
