PechaKucha Night Springfield, OH vol. 3
Friday, November 4th at 6pm
This program is part of Perfectly Frank Evenings @ Westcott House: First Friday of the Month. Free to WHF Members and Students. $5 for Non-Members. Snacks and Cash Bar available.
At PechaKucha you show 20 images, each for 20 seconds. The images forward automatically and you talk along to the images. The presentation format was devised by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Klein Dytham architecture. PechaKucha Nights are informal and fun gatherings where creative people get together and share their ideas, works, thoughts, holiday snaps - just about anything really, in the PechaKucha 20x20 format. Anyone can present - this is the beauty of PechaKucha Nights. Astrid's daughter presented when she was 5 (about her artwork ;- ) and Mark's mother presented when she was 69 (about her elaborate wedding cake creations).
The key to a great presentation is to present something you love. Most people use PechaKucha Night to present their latest creative projects or work. Some people share their passion and show their prized collections of Nana Mouskuri records, other share photos of their latest site visit to a construction site or their recent holiday snaps. We always recommend people go and see a PechaKucha Night before they apply to present to get a good feel of what it is all about. Good PechaKucha presentation are the ones that uncover the unexpected, unexpected talent, unexpected ideas. Some PechaKuchas tell great stories about a project or a trip. Some are incredibly personal, some are incredibly funny, but all are very different making each PechaKucha Night like 'a box of chocolates'. If you are interested in presenting at our next PechaKucha Springfield OH, please contact Marta at mwojcik@westcotthouse.org.
Why "Perfectly Frank"?
in An Autobiography, Frank Lloyd Wright reminisces about his first wife Catherine, "the sunny-haired, tall, slenderly handsome high school girl (...) She walked with a kind of light-hearted gaiety: mass of red curls, rather short, bobbing in the breeze. White skin. Cheeks rosy. Blue-eyed, frank and impulsive.(...) I knew "Kitty" was running the gauntlet there with the school girls who knew of her attachment to me. I knew because I saw the drawing of a large-eyed kitty - with the legend "Perfectly Frank" beneath. They had sent it to her from school." (Frank Lloyd Wright, An Autobiography, 1943)
This story inspired us to create a series of events featuring activities such as the Pecha Kucha Springfield OH (www.pecha-kucha.org), live music and multimedia, poetry readings and film screenings. "Perfectly Frank" is about beauty, art, romance and knowing that "youth is a quality, not a matter of circumstances."
