Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with the first presentation starting at 7:20 p.m. Pecha Kucha (peh-chak-cha) offers anyone with a passion or a vision–designers, artists, inventors, architects, adventurers, entrepreneurs—an opportunity to share their ideas with the community during a fast-paced, friendly social get-together. There’s just one catch—presenters have only 20 slides x 20 seconds each, a total of 6 minutes, 40 seconds!
Pecha Kucha (sounds like chit-chat in Japanese) was created 12 years ago by a Tokyo architectural firm. Events are now held in more than 800 cities around the world. More information is available on Facebook at pecha-kucha-bozeman or by emailing pechakuchabozeman@gmail.com You are encouraged to come early to socialize. There will be a 20-minute intermission. Lead sponsor for the September event is American Bank.
Advance tickets are available online at theellentheatre.com for $8.
Tickets also are available at the box office and at the door for $8 ($5 for students) space permitting.
