LOS ANGELES — The team of “SteEdy” (Stephanie & Eddy) welcomed an audience of about 50 millennials to the monthly pop-up arts open mic event called “Sunday Jump” on, well, Sunday, October 1.
Sunday Jump is a community open mic series in Historic Filipinotown founded by Eddy M. Gana, Jr., Stephanie Sajor and Janice Sapigao. This regularly scheduled 1st Sunday of the month event provides performers and spoken word artists a venue to appear in front of a small but appreciative live audience.
Made up mostly of millennials, the spectators snapped their fingers and clapped their hands to show their approval of the performance material which tended to be provocative, political and funny.
“We have two community guidelines: (1) express, not impress and (2) free speech, not hate speech. It’s not about the snaps and claps. It’s about sharing the love of your art. It’s not about putting people down. It’s about uplifting our communities,” explained Sajor. Read Rest of Article Here
