Monique van Dusseldorp
Concert Hall Host
Day 1
11:00– 11:45
Two of Europe's most experienced conference curators, Monique van Dusseldorp and Gianfranco Chicco, sit down to talk about the craft they've spent careers refining, on stage and on screen alike: how to hold a room, how to make a guest feel safe enough to say something real, and why the quality of a conversation is almost always determined long before it starts. A rare look behind the curtain at the work most people never notice, and a conversation between two people who do it for a living, about doing it well.
16:00– 17:00
Birgitte Hjort Sørensen's craft comes down to a single moment: a human being in front of a lens, trying to be real and trying not to look like they're trying. From her breakthrough in Borgen to Game of Thrones, Scorsese's Vinyl, and Broadway, she has spent her career on the other side of the camera: the actor's side. In a closing fireside chat with TwentyThree Summit host Monique van Dusseldorp, she draws on the technical craft of performance and stories from her career to explore how to prepare for and deliver moments on camera that carry real presence, and what the people who make video for a living can carry home from those who perform for it.
