Honor and celebrate San Francisco’s legendary '90s queer women’s monthly dance party, Club Q, through film, archival photos and a star panel featuring Club Q founder and legendary DJ, Page Hodel, choreographer, Richelle Donigan and local filmmaker Aarin Burch. Hosted by local educator, artist and SFPL 2022 Artist-in-Residence, tanea lunsford lynx, this dynamic event will be a multisensory experience that explores the power in creating safe queer dance spaces, then and now. Get your dance on at the after party hosted by Strut that follows this event in the Castro!

This event is part of the 2023 National Queer Arts Festival in partnership with Queer Cultural Center. Note: If you cannot attend this event in person, it will be streamed on YouTube.

 

Page Hodel has been an integral part the soul of the San Francisco Bay Area music scene for over 40 years. Her phenomenal success as a dance club DJ, a radio mixtress and a club promoter has established her as a world-renowned institution in the music industry. Page’s extraordinary career has always been grounded in two things: a profound love and respect for the fiercest soul music; and a dedication to creating entertainment events that celebrate diversity. In 1987 Hodel started Club Q, one of San Francisco’s legendary and longest running dance clubs. She enjoyed an extraordinary 16 year run with the smash success of Club Q, a once-a-month dance party for women and friends.  



Aarin Burch is an independent film and video producer who has worked internationally and throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. At the historic Club Q, Aarin created interactive visuals by layering live performance video with colorful projections and found footage to envelope the space in a multi-textured, immersive experience. A San Francisco native, Aarin earned her B.F.A in film from the California College of Arts and Crafts in 1991. As an early innovator in queer cinema, hers is a singular voice in film, representing the unique diversity of her upbringing as the biracial daughter of a jazz musician father and trailblazing self-taught artist mother.

 

Richelle Evelyn Donigan is a masterful transformation guide, life coach, yoga instructor, author and peaker. For more than 40 years, she has been in the work and study of transformation and studied and practiced under the direct guidance of Gurumayi Chidvilasananda of the SYDA Yoga Lineage, Mary Morrissey of Life Mastery Institute and Thich Nhat Hanh. Richelle has an extraordinary gift for creating safe and empowering spaces for all people and has created and led numerous retreats and workshops focusing on LGBTQI Communities.
