What is Dr. Sketchy's? It's an opportunity to draw a live model in a no-pressure situation. There will be no mandatory judging of your works of art, but there are often drawing contests if you care to enter. There's a bar so you can get something to drink, and breaks during which you can socialize with your fellow sketchers! So whether you're a novice or an experienced artist, you are welcome at Dr. Sketchy's San Francisco!
Who is La Chica Boom? She's the founder and artistic director of Kaleidoscope Cabaret, which is a neo-burlesque show that features performers of color. She's also a burlesque performer who is appearing in various shows around the Bay Area. This year's Kaleidoscope show will take place at the Brava Theater in San Francisco on Saturday, October 30. In addition, there will be a free educational symposium entitled Race Reveal: Racial Tropes, Queer Performance, Political Possibilities on Thursday, October 28, from noon to 5 p.m. in 370 Dwinelle Hall at UC Berkeley. Also, there will be a $5.00 pre-party and social event at the Center for Sex and Culture in San Francisco at 7 p.m. on Friday, October 29.

La Chica Boom
Queer Chicana Starlet Chica Boom organizes with communities of color to destabilize white heteropatriarchy by day and by night she seduces audiences with her witty ethnic drag. This El Paso/Juarez bordertown bruja has been weaving her cultural, political and sexual identity through alternative dance, theatre, performance art, burlesque, clowning and street performance across North America. Chica Boom's provocative posturing shakes and breaks the mold of submissive mestiza. Her sexual and cultural hybridism gives voice to an intentional revolutionary style of performance that depicts her multiplicity of consciousness as a fierce queer femme/macha, Chicana organizer and performer. She is the founder of Kaleidoscope, An Annual National People of Color Cabaret and currently organizes with INCITE! Women of Color Against Violence.
