On this week’s episode of The Coffee Hour, to kick off the new season, Adam sits down with Eleni Papaleonardos, a professor of theatre at Denison University and the artistic director of Columbus’ Available Light Theatre Company, to discuss the way humans communicate. They talk about Eleni’s Dyslexia, her status as a bi-lingual (Greek and English), dual-citizen (Greece and America) and an educator. Also discussed are the ways we communicate non-verbally, the way we communicate with our bodies and Eleni’s study of mime (taught by Marcel Marceau). The two also discuss the way American schools mishandle neurodiverse and students and students who don’t only speak English, as well as what it was like for Eleni to grow up the child of an immigrant family in small town, Ohio.

All this and more on the Coffee Hour.
