Date: 15th July
Time: 7pm - 9pm
Venue: East 15, Clifftown Studios, Nelson Street, Southend on Sea.
Closed: News on the next Pecha Kucha to follow shortly.
Pecha Kucha Night was devised by architects Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham in 2003 as a place for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public.
The key to Pecha Kucha Night is its patented system for avoiding lengthy presentations – ‘death by powerpoint’. Each presenter is allowed 20 slides (all image based), each shown for 20 seconds – giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up.
This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to show.
Pecha Kucha (which is Japanese for the sound of conversation) has tapped into a demand for a forum in which creative work can be easily and informally shown and Pecha Kucha Nights now take place regularly in over 200 cities around the world.
Metal started the Southend on Sea Pecha Kucha Night in April 2009 and has now hosted 3 evenings, hearing from 20 presenters all living, working or proposing creative ideas for Southend.
Pecha Kucha is now part of our ongoing programme in Southend on Sea. For details of the next event, click here (this will be a link through to the relevant part of the events diary.)
