If you already know what Pecha Kucha is then the only info you need is…
Brighton PechaKucha #1, Red Roasters-Kemptown: 7.30pm
For everybody else…
If you ask most creative people to talk about themselves/their-work you will get lots of gesticulating motions and enthusiasm and it may take some time. Creatives don’t do boundaries; that is why they are creative, that can also be why they aren’t always good presenters. The format of Pecha Kucha puts edges onto thought spirals.
The 20:20 format…?
Each presentation comprises 20 slides; each one is viewed for 20 seconds. Total time; six-and-a-bit minutes. Difficult for that to become ethereal arty spirals.
The Presenters…
There is a mix of artists, performers, architects, designers (The above image is by one of the nights presenters). The founder of Pecha Kucha was an architect so the events can be over-represented in that area. But we all need houses, don’t we?
Will it catch on…?
It is already in at least a million countries (see www.pecha-kucha.org for the full list)
Is Brighton big enough to support it…?
Well, this town is nothing if not fond of showing off. Standing in front of a crowd exposing yourself in 20 second bursts, perfect. Matched.
Can I go…?
Yes you can, but it will definitely sell out so be early, or at least punctual.
