On the Boards' parking lot will transform into a temporary drive-in theater to fill the arts-performance-shaped hole in your life with a special program of variety acts and reflections on creativity. If you don't have a car, you can also bring your own chairs and park up in the "seated audience area," but make sure to bring a radio or phone with FM capabilities. The Sitting Room will provide Mexican food if you get hungry.

Lineup:

Thursday, October 1: Wildness & Shape of a Right Statement; Wu Tsang
WILDNESS integrates elements of fiction and documentary structures to vividly portray Tsang’s multi-layered relationship with a Latino Los Angeles LGBT bar, the Silver Platter, one that explores her role as an artist and activist, and a member of a younger generation introducing itself into a gay scene that started before the Stonewall riots – the Silver Platter’s birth year is 1963. Shape of a Right Statement is a short work featuring Tsang’s recitation of one section of “In My Language,” a text by autism rights activist Amanda Baggs.

Friday, October 2: Animation Evening
In collaboration with Wa Na Wari, this screening includes short animation films about ancestral culture, self-portraits, cultural storytelling, and where the boundaries between objects break down and shape shift together to become something else.

Saturday, October 3: Acting Stranger
Join us for live commentary with the artists during the screening!
Andrew Schneider and Seattle-based artists Minna Lee and Fox Whitney have been collaboratively dreaming up the reboot of Acting Stranger, a multi-layered art work, to help us collectively navigate reconnection with each other; in slow stages, from the drudgery of another video-conference call to a future full embrace with a complete stranger. Each iteration of Acting Stranger thrives on being authored within the world’s current moment, its freedoms, restrictions, debates, hardships, resilience, and humanity. Acting Stranger helps us track and understand how we meet each other across time and space as we re-connect, grieve our losses, and re-imagine community.

Sunday, October 4: Sci-Fi Horror Night!
The Black Cinema Collective will surprise you with an entertaining evening of BIPOC SciFi/Horror films and guest appearances. The Collective closely engages Black films through screenings, watch parties, and discussions with local and global filmmakers from African and Afro-Diasporic communities.
