Trampoline Hall is a barroom lecture series started by Canadian author Sheila Heti in Toronto.
The program consists of three talks each followed by a question-and-answer period, and is hosted by improv teacher and consultant Misha Glouberman.
Past curators include Sheila Heti, Margaux Williamson, Life of a Craphead, and Xenia Benivolski.
As a result, talks vary from the well-informed to the unstructured, with the lecturer's level of comfort and degree of preparation emerging as part of the "performance".
Over a few months in 2010-2011, representative topics included "The History of 3D," "Suicide Notes," "Cultural Entropy in the Internet Era," "The Perfect Baguette," and "Being an Asshole."
