Ideas, feelings, beliefs. Artists convey powerful messages to audiences through unique collaborations and partnerships. Experience the inspiration and expertise behind the work of five extraordinary members of our creative community in a series of pecha kucha-style presentations followed by a lively moderated conversation between the presenters and the audience. What is pecha kucha? Pecha kucha presentations (Japanese for "chit-chat") are designed to re-ignite the stage and spark conversation. In rapid-fire succession, each participant shares twenty slides in just five minutes for presentations that are a work of performance art in their own right.

Speakers:
Mehmet Dede, co-founder, New York Gypsy Festival and instructor, Tisch School of the Arts at NYU
Heidi Latsky, dancer/choreographer and founder, Heidi Latsky Dance
David Lutken, musician/actor and creator of Woody Sez
