The Secret Martial Art of Sherlock Holmes - Bartitsu
Limited Capacity seats available
The master of deduction, Sherlock Holmes, was also a master martial artist. Using the victorian jiu jitsu style of BARTITSU! Explore this martial art that was practiced in England in the years 1898-1902 in this exciting workshop or demonstration. Participants can learn the safe and exciting moves we stunt coordinators use in the movies. This hands on workshop for 30 people or demo for an entire theatre demystifies the illusion of violence and allows participants to get a behind the scenes look at their favorite fandom. We will provide the practice weaponry and your participants will walk away able to perform a small, choreographed fight sequence. You’ve seen it in Robert Downey Jr.’s “Sherlock Holmes” and you’ve read about it in Steampunk-genre novels – now it is time to grab your canes, coats & top hats and see what this lost martial art is all about.

Improvised Star Trek: The World of Improv and Star Trek... in conversation
Patrick Stewart of Star Trek The Next Generation has recently embraced improv. Why? What is it about improv that inspires actors, geeks, and geeky actors the world over? The cast of Chicago's own Improvised Star Trek stage show and podcast explores improv, Star Trek, and why the secret to all of it might just be surrounding yourself with people who truly love what they're doing.

Mental Health Myths
"Just get over it!" "It's all in your head!" "What do you have to be depressed about?" "That's not even a real thing." "Doesn't everyone feel that way sometimes?" Mental illness affects an estimated one in four Americans, and yet this wide category of illnesses is frequently misunderstood by the media and by friends, family, coworkers, and partners of sufferers. We'll discuss some of the most common myths surrounding mental illness, how to help your loved ones understand, and how to be a helpful ally.

After Dark: The Science of Sexual Fluidity
Are we all "Born This Way?" The assertion that sexual orientation isn't a choice was crucial to building support for the LGBT rights movement, but many people misunderstand a key aspect of sexuality, gender identity, and sexual attraction factors such as kinks: they can be fluid, and don't necessarily reveal themselves early in life. Whether you're a "late bloomer," you've benn told you're "just experimenting," or you've adopted a partner's kinks with more enthusiasm than expected, this panel will challenge assumptions that identities must be claimed early and held for life.
