Want to present an idea? Welcome to Pecha-Kucha Night in Dayton!

August 25, 2009 By Dayton Most Metro 3 Comments

pechakuchanight1“The sound of conversation” – that is the translation for the Japanese phrase Pecha-Kucha, which is also the name for a creative way of presenting creative ideas to an audience of – well, other creative people.  This new concept has taken the planet by storm, happening in over 100 global cities since 2003 when it was first thought up by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Tokyo’s Klein-Dytham Architecture (KDa), who sought to give young designers a venue to meet, network, and show their work and to attract people to their experimental event space in Roppongi.

Hmm, experimental event space – sounds familiar.  Ah yes, we have one of those here in Dayton: c{space!  Located at 20 N. Jefferson, this space was opened last year by a group of Dayton Create catalysts in conjunction with the Dayton Circus who set out to find an empty yet interesting urban space to hold independent street-level art & music events and other creative gatherings.  Its first event was the successful Ladyfest Dayton, and since then the space has hosted several interesting events as well as small groups working on all kinds of things from film festival planning to urban bicycle events.  And yes – your’s truly was part of that original group that made c{space possible.

Back to Pecha-Kucha… this presentation/networking event is unique in that it restricts presenters to 20 powerpoint slides at 20 seconds each, for a toal of 6 minute 40 seconds per presentation.  In other words, no long drawn-out boring presentations.  Personally I’d like to see EVERY committee meeting, board meeting, and business meeting follow this format!  But until that happens, I encourage you to check out Dayton’s version of Pecha-Kucha Night on August 27,  2009 at 6:30pm (more details at the link).  And there is already a second night scheduled for November 6 – this one is for Dayton AIA architects to quickly present their creative thoughts.  And if you think you have the goods to present at one of these, contact Jill Davis ([email protected] or 937-225-9307).
