PECHA KUCHA

Date: Wednesday 8 November 2006
Location:The Print Works, Manchester

Pecha Kucha, the fast and furious Japanese import that has taken London by storm since its introduction to the capital last summer, is coming to Manchester.

The format is simple - each speaker must present 20 images which are projected on screen for only 20 seconds each, amounting to a total time onstage of 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
The twelve speakers are encouraged to edit their ideas, inspirations, frustrations, and aspirations into this rapid-fire time slot, forcing them to articulate their message succinctly. There is no specific brief, which gives rise to a varied, eclectic and sometimes hysterical montage of images and storytelling.

Conceived by Klein Dytham architecture in Tokyo, the format
has spread across the world and intrigued and excited audiences of designers, architects, trend experts, journalists, and design junkies from the outset.

Speakers include:
Jonathan Atkinson, Director, UHC Collective
Tim Parsons, Product Designer and Lecturer
Nick Bell, Nick Bell Design
Alistair Sim, Partner, Love
Brendan Dawes, Creative Director, magneticNorth
Michael Anthony Barnes-Wynters (AKA Barney), Artistic Director of Viva la Muralists
