Transition Pecha Kucha

Pecha Kucha, (pronounced petʃə ˈkʊtʃə), is a Japanese word for 'chit chat'. It is a simple presentation style where you show 20 images for 20 second each.

Slides are set up to advance automatically and you talk along with them as they advance.

This format was created by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Klein Dytham architecture in Tokyo.  The first Pecha Kucha night was held in their office space in February, 2003.

Since then, Pecha Kucha nights have gone viral! They happen frequently and regularly in over 500 cities all over the world.

It provides people of any age opportunity to share what they love with others... an artist can share their current work, a wedding cake baker can share their latest creations, a collector can share their beloved collection of otter paraphenalia. Pretty much anything goes!

Yestermorrow Design Build (www.yestermorrow.org) hosted their first Transition Pecha Kucha in June 2009 and have hosted them on a regular basis since.

I am participating in their next Transition Pecha Kucha night, which is tonight (oh my!!! :-), along with 9 or 10 other presenters!!
