[NetBehaviour] WeShare Producer Post

[Alessandra Scapin]

Producer for a networked Pecha Kucha event

April - June 2012
Fee: £1000

*WeShare* is a joint initiative between Drake Music and Furtherfield to 
explore and test how collaborative working between small, distinctive 
organisations in the cultural sector can improve organizational 
sustainability while extending access and participation in arts & 
technologies and strengthen social bonds.

_Brief_
This micro-project is the first in a series of WeShare events to develop 
and test simple ways for people and small organisations (their staff, 
artists, communities and participants) to get to know each other, and 
work together at a distance using digital technologies.Pecha Kucha 
(meaning chit-chat in Japanese) is a popular presentation format for 
artists and designers to meet and show their work. Each person shows 20 
images each for 20 seconds in a 6 minute presentation that gives a rich 
introduction to their work.

We are looking for someone to help us to devise and host a networked 
Pecha Kucha event for three small groups (of 2 or 3) in three separate 
locations. Participants will share information about their work using 
screen based, video conferencing.

_Responsibilities_
- Survey other work already being carried out in this field
- Work imaginatively with existing, freely available, or very low-cost 
technologies (web cams, projectors, video conferencing software, mobile 
phones) to produce an accessible net worked Pecha Kucha event providing 
an enjoyable, creative experience for all participants
- Produce documentation that will allow others to create their own 
accessible networked Pecha Kucha including:

  * documentation of the event
  * easy-to-follow technical instructions
  * guidelines for hosts and presenters


_Skills_
- Minimum of two years work experience working in the arts with 
technology (as an artist or producer)
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills with ability to 
present ideas and information clearly
- Imaginative and flexible
- Good technical trouble shooter (able to work independently)
- Experience of working accessibly
- Attention to detail and outstanding organisation skills
- Experience of working collaboratively

To start April. Event planned for early June 2012

Interested applicants should send a letter of application, link to 
portfolio and a CV to deliabarker at drakemusic.org.
Deadline for applications is 8th March 2012.
