Event Information

 * Name: QIPOC film festival (Second Request)
 * Performer: A Philadelphia native, Katrina Deaton, commonly called Tina, has always been a writer. A filmmaker by divine intervention, Katrina claims Underneath, her first feature film, was an idea that just wouldn’t go away. After scrounging up three thousand dollars, a cast of thirteen, and a crew of five, Underneath came to life. A masterpiece was created in two years by a talented group of young men and women dedicated to a story.

A graduate of West Chester University with a concentration in communications, Katrina is not a stranger to the world of entertainment. She began as an intern for Ricki Lake and Judge Hatchett. She then moved onto to work for Clear Channel Radio and later became a motivational speaker for underprivileged youth. Although Katrina has found her true love in writing screenplays, she claims poetry and song writing are her mistresses. Katrina recently finished writing her second feature Kathy’s Daughter, an autobiography, along with a few shorts and TV pilots she’s working on distributing. Underneath is one of few LGBTQ films on the festival circuit today that focuses on the story of black lesbian women, and has in fact been created by black queer women. The film has enjoyed much success since its release in 2007 at the Philadelphia LGBTQ festival. Since then it has circulated at the Philadelphia, New Jersey and Chicago gay and lesbian film festivals as well as at several independent screenings. The film has recently made its international debut at the Out In Africa South African Gay &amp; Lesbian Film Festival in 2008.

Event Information

 * Name: The Body Politic(al)
 * Performer: Nikki Click
 * Description: The Body Politic(al) will serve both to promote dialogue about body negativity, the beauty imperative and fat phobia in the Queer and LGBT communities both on Hampshire campus and elsewhere and provide another event that would be open to the larger 5 college Queer community. In order to make the event more of a draw, we would like to invite Queer performer Nikki Click (who has already played at Hampshire) for this event, particularly because she is asking for a miniscule honorarium and is relatively well known in the Hampshire Queer community. The Body Polic(al), which will hopefully be held in the Tavern, will start as an art gallery from Queer Hampshire artist works, then come together for a dialogue and poetry slam . Following these actions, (around 10:30) Nikki Click will perform during the Dance Party portion of the evening.

Event Information

 * Name: Queer Boot Camp Work Out
 * Performer: Jerome Robinson, Personal Trainer and Owner of the Daily Grind in Philadelphia
 * Description: Gyms and work out spaces are usually spaces of white heternormative hypermasculinity and hypersexuality. This boot camp style work out hosted by the QCA will provide a space to feel comfortable, have fun and still get a great work out. This 3-day boot camp will talk about challenging images of physicality within the queer community and the stigmas and pressures around our bodies as hyper sexualized, hyper masculine and hyper feminine. Although we will be working out we will also be talking about taking care of our bodies beyond working out. This weekend work out, including a 3-day boot camp style work out which we will address fitness, nutrition and health. It will be lead by Certified Personal Trainer and Owner of the Daily Grind in Philadelphia, Jerome Robinson. This event happened last semester and went over very well. However, there are still a lot of conversations left open and more learning about our bodies to be done!

With the help of Margaret Cerullo we want to bring them to Hampshire to hold screenings of Greg’s films and to talk about their work. We would like to also hold a dinner with the students interested in attending and getting to know the speakers before the event.
