MinuVistas Open Call for One Minute Messages – June 2021.

Jump-Start Performance Co. is launching a new video streaming series, MinuVistas.  Company member and lead artist Lisa Suarez is conducting an open call for one-minute-long videos “with a message.”  Submissions are open to local and out of town communities, guest artists, friends, family, and pretty much anyone who wants to accept the challenge of creating a one-minute video. 

Videos must be family-friendly and no more than one minute long. An online MinuVistas entry form will need to be filled out. The entry form and link to submit a video can be found at http://bit.ly/MinuVistas. 

Submission Deadline is 5 P.M, June 10, 2021.

Hosted by Suarez and Zoom director and collaborating artist Barbie Hurtado, the selected videos will be streamed on Saturday, June 26 and Sunday, June 27 at 4:00 p.m. CDT.

To Who It May Concern, June 2021.

Jump-Start Performance Co. announces this season’s INKubator artist, Giovan Lugo, and his project, To Whom It May Concern. The show is performed by an ensemble cast led by Lugo, and will be streamed online Saturday and Sunday, June 12 and 13, 2021 at 7:30 P.M CDT.  Admission is “choose-what-you-pay”: $0, $5, $10, $15, $20. A Zoom link to watch will be emailed after the purchase is complete. Tickets are available at jump-start.org. For more info, call 210-227-JUMP.

To Whom It May Concern is an expression of healing by letting go of circumstances that constantly hold us back. Included is a collection of short personal videos, each written and performed by a member of the ensemble. A performance by Lugo, as Duva Lynn, tops off the show.

 Giovan Lugo (or just “Gio” because it’s short and sweet like him) is a 22-year-old 5’2” brown gay guy who has lived his entire life in San Anto. Gio puts his heart into everything he does and loves to incorporate the people he loves into his performance artwork. He believes that you can’t be your best self without your chosen family, because they will believe in you just as much as you ought to believe in yourself. That’s why Gio has incorporated his chosen family into To Whom It May Concern.  

 The cast and crew of To Whom It May Concern, include the following artists (and members of Gio’s chosen family): Jump-Start company members Sarah Tijerina and Lilith Tijerina, guests Paige Rodriguez and Rachel Ditzig, and Gio Lugo, appearing as Duva Lynn.
