Pecha Kucha Night 05Text
Cape Town
Thank you for taking interest in speaking at our next installment of PK on
the 26th March
Right now you are probably wondering what you should
speak about, as Pat probably told you its not about punting
yourself or your business...
...its more about telling us why you do what you do, sharing your inspiration
and rather giving the behind the scenes to the audience!
So here are some best practice examples that
rocked the crowd at previous PK nights...
Brett Rubin showed ten images from his favorite photographers that inspire him and then showed ten of his own and spoke about where the
idea came from...he then went on to discuss that photographers are always looking to capture the moment, however that it is not possible if he/she is not in the moment themselves...he read a japanese ‘zen’ poem talking about being in the moment and taking in everything with all your
senses.
Heath Nash came up and started speaking about his experience at the international design entrepreneur of the year, he showed the
audience photos of his tour to Europe meeting all his favorite designers and proceeded to hand out entry forms in into the crowd urging them on to follow their dream and think big about not just designing in a local arena but about taking initiative and getting
exposure
Andy Horn who is an architect spoke about a project that he is involved that is helping out communities in rural and township areas. They teach communities to build houses out of natural ingredients to
promote sustainable and eco friendly building as well as offering a skill that allows them to help themselves out rather than wait on government grants and relying on expensive building materials,.
Charles Lee Thorp is a multi-media lecturer at Vega school, he got up there and discussed his very geeky hobby OTAKU, namely building toy robots...nothing about what he does professionally during the
day
Phillip Schmidt and academic from UCT spoke about the internet and the rise of the collaboration economy...he spoke about that in these
days its not only smart to share ideas but imperative to tap into the collective
consciousness...
...I hope you have found some inspiration in the previous
slides.The trick is as little writing as possible, as little punting as
possible and as much inspiring as you can!
