About Sunny’s show: Other-wise

Children, can you say gender-queer? Trans-gender? Can you say this morning on my way to school I lost my homework and the dog ate my gender? This is a show about telling his family about doing a show about showing his evolving gender. Confused? Welcome! Gender adventurer Sunny Drake takes up the challenge to articulate their/ his gender journey, to arrive at this moment in time: gender = carnivalesque magician. A hide-and-seek peekaboo at invisibility, gender policing, class and white privilege and getting comfortable with ambiguity. Other-wiseincludes an ongoing performative documentation of the terrifying process of coming out to Sunny’s family. Dear Mum, Dear Dad…

Audiences have said Other-wise is accessible, digestible and mobilizing to both people who have minimal exposure to genderqueer/ trans politics as well as to trans-people or gender-queers themselves. Delicate and serious content is handled with humor, theatrical dialogue, fairytales and multi-media tools whilst drawing on the audience’s intelligence. Video & visuals by Dana Aleshire & Leahjo Carnine.

about SUNNY

Chane

Modern European Board Games
Every Third Saturday, NOON - 5PM
presented by The Olympia Dice Shavers Local 212

This is a hands-on exploration of the new strategy games, primarily from Europe. By "hands-on exploration" we mean we'll be learning how to play the games!
Modern board-gaming is a fun, social hobby, that has been growing due to the new types of games available. In general, the characteristics the games tend to have in common are:

1. No player elimination -- everyone plays through the whole game
2. Genuine strategy -- the decisions you make affect what happens in the game.
3. Reasonable playing times -- the typical game lasts somewhere between one and three hours.

The themes are often historical in nature. For example, in the game Hansa every player is a merchant in the Hanseatic League, and in the game 1960 players compete by guiding the election campaigns of Nixon and JFK.

This "class" is meant as an opportunity to learn about the new games and just to have a good time. It is intended for adults or soon-to-be adults, but you may discover games which would be accessible to precocious children. Many of the games are competitive by nature, but we do not stress the competitive aspect and there are no prizes. After-all, most players will be playing the game for the first time and everyone should be a good sport.

If you are interested in what games we'll be playing on this date and how to sign up for one, please write to Frank Hussey at olympiagamers@gmail.com and he'll send all the info you need.

Facilitator - the Olympia Dice Shavers Local 212
Schedule - Third Saturday of each month, 12:00pm (NOON) - 5:00 pm

Olympia Transgender Support Group

Whether you are a casual crossdresser... or consider yourself a transsexual... or something entirely different or in-between... we are here to help and advise... maybe learn from you... and have lots of fun all along the way. Meetings generally involve a bit of socializing, and a discussion of topics. The confidentiality and privacy of all attendees is always respected. We encourage you to come to one of our
meetings to get to know us. We're glad you found us, and hope you will join us in our exploration of the many pathways of the transgendered spirit!

Gender Alliance of the South Sound (GASS) is a gender support and education group based in Tacoma, WA. We have identified a need in the Thurston, Mason, and Lewis county area for similar coverage as we have in Pierce county.

Transgender persons have been marginalized in this society for a long time and there is now a real grass roots movement by them to seek their equal rights. This goal will only be accomplished by educating themselves and non-trans people. GASS looks forward to forming a mutually beneficial relationship with your
organization.

justice issues in the Amazon region including oil drilling and land
rights. He will discuss his personal role and movement of resistance in
the struggle for human rights and environmental protection. He will
