20x20 What is PechaKucha?
PechaKucha Night was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public.
It has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, inspiring creatives worldwide.
Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of "chit chat", it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It's a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.
Needless to say I'm nervous and excited to be one of the 12 presenters. What a great opportunity to get back on stage after so long an absence. Years ago I was ringleader of a group of poets known as 'The Star Bards' taking our name from the alternative newspaper that i ran with my then-hubby, Bob Ingram, The South Street Star of Philadelphia.
In this poetic homage to change, I will weave my own and other’s poetry along with established theories of human development hoping to inspire the audience to consider their extra ordinary qualities to embark on self-transformation.
Pecha Kucha Maastricht is managed by a really cool group of local creatives who professionally video tape each presentation and post it to their incredibly professional website. Check out who and what has come before.
I will miss not having my far-flung friends in the audience, but at least you'll be able to catch the 'act'.
