The Stories That Make Us Whole | Dennet Krishnan | TEDxChatsworthInternationalSchool

シンガポールの制作スタジオTableMinisの共同創業者デニット・クリシュナンは、目まぐるしい社会では物語が贅沢品として扱われがちだと論じています。本やストーリー、ゲームが、自分を超えて想像し、変化や対立、コミュニティを理解する助けになる点を説明します。講演では、ビジネスリーダーおよびプロのダンジョンマスターとしての経験が背景にあります。この講演は、地域のコミュニティが独立して運営したTEDxイベントで行われました。

• 忙しい生活で物語が贅沢品とみなされる理由
• 物語が他者への共感を形づくる仕組み
• 卓上ロールプレイングがつながりを生む役割

In a fast-paced society like Singapore, stories are often treated as a luxury rather than a necessity. As life grows busier, many of us lose touch with the books, worlds, and shared narratives that once helped us imagine beyond ourselves. Yet stories do far more than entertain. They shape how we see other people, how we understand our place in the world, and how we make sense of change, conflict, and community. Dennet Krishnan is the co-founder of TableMinis, a Singapore-based studio dedicated to tabletop roleplaying, live storytelling, and immersive community experiences. As both a business leader and professional Dungeon Master, he has built a career around the power of games to bring people together, spark imagination, and create meaningful human connection. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
