If you grew up between the mid-late 80s and the 90s, Tami Stronach might have been part of your childhood’s story. In the 30th anniversary of the film that brought her to screens worldwide when she was only 11, this New York based dancer, choreographer, performer and happy mom is ready to save a fantasy world again, in the play “Light: a Dark Comedy.”
New York visual artist and teacher Frank H Jump is the true definition of a survivor. In the week he turns 54 years old, this former ACT UP founding member reminisces about 30 years of surviving with HIV, cancer and the emotional losses of friends during the AIDS crisis. The fear of disappearing pushed his life towards art and education, with his documentary photo project “The Fading Ad Campaign” standing as a metaphor of survival, identity and life expectancy, and his inspiring work as a school teacher.
