Pecha Kucha Presenters Revealed

Venue: Glenroy Auditorium

The 9th Pecha Kucha Night to be held in Dunedin is on its way as part of the 2011 Dunedin Fringe Festival. As always we have a fantastic line-up of artists, designers and personalities with a whole bunch of images, ideas and stories to share.

For those who don't know about Pecha Kucha Night events, this is a wonderful event that is all about people sharing creative ideas. A Pecha Kucha night involves the projection of a series of large images via a data projector. A dozen invited presenters show 20 images each, with only 20 seconds to speak to each image (a total of 6.40 minutes per presentation). The magic is the rapid-fire presentation and the diversity of presenters and topics on the night. This is a non-profit movement about bringing artists and designers together and getting inspired by their ideas.Pecha Kucha Nights now take place in over 300 cities around the world.

Here's the presenters. Tell your friends as this is going to be a great evening!
