Japanese for chit chat, Pecha Kucha started in Japan in 2003 as a way for young designers to show and talk about their work. Each presenter had twenty slides lasting twenty seconds each, a total of six minutes and forty seconds, over which they discussed their work.
Since then the format has been used and adapted worldwide in all sorts of settings but maintained a focus on creativity. Now Pecha Kucha comes to the Upper Hunter.
Arts Upper Hunter, in collaboration with Muswellbrook Regional Arts Centre, will be holding a Pecha Kucha at the Centre. Ten artists from Muswellbrook and beyond will talk about their work in writing, dance, theatre, photography, Aboriginal heritage and visual art with the aid of their projected images.
Arts Upper Hunter’s Mark Reedman said, “The aim of the event is to see what makes artists tick and get an insight into the ups and downs of being an artist.”
Hosted by ABC Radio’s Mike Pritchard, each presentation will be followed by a short question time.
The Pecha Kucha is at Muswellbrook Regional Arts Centre on Friday May 24 and starts at 7 pm. A light supper will be provided. The cost is $10 and $5 concession. For bookings and further information call Arts Upper Hunter on 0409382509 or get your ticket at the door.
