The parent organization of the Fort Lauderdale Gay Men’s Chorus, South Florida Choral Arts, Inc., is seeking members to serve on its board. “Like the chorus itself, the board is dedicated to encouraging and embodying diversity,” said Board Chief Executive Officer Robert Garrett. “So we encourage anyone — male or female, gay, bisexual or straight — who supports the mission and goals of the Fort Lauderdale Gay Men’s Chorus to step forward and express an interest in serving.” The first gay performing-arts organization in the state of Florida, the FTLGMC exists with a mission to build community through quality musical performances that promote a world that accepts and values diversity. It presents a four-concert main season, along with dozens of community performances throughout the year. The recently reorganized South Florida Choral Arts Board is now meeting monthly to develop fund-raising programs for the chorus. “As anyone in the performing arts knows, ticket sales alone cannot keep pace with the costs of presenting quality entertainment,” Garrett said. “Only through the active participation of dedicated board members to help us seek other funding sources can the chorus continue to grow and thrive for the benefit of the entire community.” Garrett cited the chorus’ fall concert with Tony Award-winner Barbara Cook as an example of the chorus’ continued growth and funding needs. The talented performer will join the chorus in concert October 22 on the main stage (Au Rene Theater) of the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale. A major fund-raising event is planned in conjunction with the gala event. SFCA Board meetings will be held quarterly once programs are put into place. For more information, contact Garrett at (954) 763-1862. Rehearsing on Wednesday evenings at the Sunshine Cathedral, 1480 SW 9th Ave., the chorus welcomes new singing members, as well as those who support the chorus behind the scenes on its crew, board or as donors. For more information on the FTLGMC and its 21^st season, see www.ftlgmc.org or call (954) 832-0060. This organization is funded in part by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Division. The chorus’ 21^st season is also sponsored by Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) and Pride South Florida.

Territories of the Breast, a documentary on minority women experience with breast cancer will be presented at Cinema Paradiso, 506 SE 6th Street in Fort Lauderdale on Sunday afternoon, March 18, at 12:30 PM.   Following the presentation, there will be a no holds barred audience Q&A with Director Jean-Rene Rinvil, Co-Director & Cancer Survivor Sonia Baez-Hernandez, Composer, Diego Parez, Cancer Survivors Catherine Connor and Tina Nava, and their support systems. In 2006, the Florida-produced film was nominated as Best Documentary at the 5th Annual Urban Mediamakers Film Festival in Atlanta, Georgia, and is this year a selection for the 5th Spaghetti Junction Urban Film Festival in the same city, in April. The feature documentary intimately explores multiple crossroads of breast cancer: health inequality, gender crisis, support system, and medical knowledge, as experienced by artist, performer and co-director Sonia Baez-Hernandez. A survivor of the dread disease, she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001 at an outpatient facility in Evanston, Illinois. While at that facility, she twice canceled her surgery because her rights to know treatment options and to participate in decisions about her care were violated. She struggled to get access to respectful and nondiscriminatory medical care within this facility. Through a series of networks, she applied to philanthropic organizations and finally had access to surgery, reconstruction, and treatment at Northwestern Medical Center. The film documents unequal choices in medical care and how 46 million Americans without health insurance could potentially experience a violation of their patient rights. It also reveals an intimate portrait of Sonia's struggles and artistic response. Because of her experience, she was intrigued by other women's similar problems in dealing with breast cancer and inequality issues in healthcare. Sonia interviews Latina and African American cancer survivors, including Diana Solis, Tina Nava, Lucille Afua Gram and Catherine Roach Connor, to reveal their personal experiences with breast cancer.     The viewer joins Sonia's journey to see at first hand all the experiences interwoven, disclosing the complexities of medical access, choices, gender crisis, and the meaning of becoming women. TICKETS:  $8 general admission, $7 seniors and students, $5 FLIFF Members.  A percentage of the ticket sales will benefit Project Help, an organization located in Fort Lauderdale, who's mission is to help women with cancer.
