France Tales

This is the Japanese word for chatter and a new form of performance art, loosely speaking. Check out this link to see more.

It is a multimedia sound, image, and performance. When we get set up in Toulouse and set up our salon of misfits I’d like to do something similar.

You start with Powerpoint, I’m sure we can come up with something cooler, and add 20 slides that can be shown for forty seconds only for a total of 6 minutes and 40 seconds. You can have text, images, commentary, and sound in your presentation. It can be about anything but you have your total time and time per slide restrictions so your point must be succinct and clear.

I figure that even sitting through a few bad ones will only cost you 6:40 and the potentially dramatic, funny, or emotional performances will more than make up for the few duds.

Has anyone ever been to one of these or performed in one? I’m serious about starting one so any tips would be appreciated.
