Much love to the Bay Area kapwa holding it down for the people. Excited to host sistah @sammaybabay at @pamanakali as she facilitates DALUYAN. This is also part of our process getting ready for the Itotia Dance Festival. Please join us on this work towards self-mastery via movement exploration, writing, and communal gathering. “DALUYAN: Embodied Storytelling Workshop investigates the ancestral memory that lives within our corporeal being through movement, writing, and performance ritual - facilitated by SAMMAY. How do we cultivate a relationship of healing to our personal and intergenerational traumas in order to realize our most whole Self? How can we thereby access the inherent joy and ancestral resilience that already lives inside of us? Participants will gather to explore how one can interweave these forms in service to our healing of Self, Lineage, and Community. This workshop is intended for both the artist and the non-artist identifying.” . . More info on the FB event page. . . #baytola #unite #embodiedstorytelling #circleup

This earring from @o_te_motu_creations was a gift from @jgrayjnr for @cindy.aikman and me upon his last visit to Tongva lands. Wearing it proudly here on Turtle Island, supporting recycled materials and handmade creations of the islands. @o_te_motu_creations is based in Aotearoa. Loving these banners and this joyful keiki in front of them! . . #raukura #earrings #otemotu #motherdaughterproject #createdwithlove #spiritwithin

4 hours of pangalay for movement meditation on Saturday. This is where I’m at in my practice these days— longevity, listening, longer breaths, and natural unfolding. You can watch if you want, or join in, ask questions, cut through our distance. I felt elated afterwards. We will do more. . A huge salamat to @madu.chino for the invite to collab at this awesome event and space I had never been to before. @bukobomba @inkanor for the sounds of Our ancestors through the agong and kulintang. And the adornments that I was just so honored to activate and be activated by as I wore them, as they fused with pieces from @knlfolkarts. So great and so grateful for your hands. @jonathangodoy for your incredible eye and documentation. I’m excited to show y’all. @dearastralparu @ameliahbutler for your movement channelings. Our conversations through movement are just beyond us period. @nxamusic @szehochen for your synchronicity and sounds. @soundpedro this was a lot of fun. Let’s do it again 🙌🏽. . . #futurefilipinx #soundpedro #sanpedro #performance #dance #realness #served

TOMORROW’s visuals will include a compilation of various collaborations between video/photographer @jonathangodoy and me in @astageofourown productions-- Land, Water, Fire, and Winds of Santa Monica Beach, Elysian Park, and more of greater Los Angeles. . Shoutout & Salamat to the musicians whose music helped shape this process: - #ElectricKulintang (War Horses album) - Fred Houn featuring Kulintang Arts, The Asian American Art Ensemble (A Song for Manong album) - @gingeeworld & Kimmortal (Tunog Tao/People’s Sound curation) . TOMORROW @SoundPedro : An Evening of Ear-Oriented Multi-Sensory Presentations Location: Angels Gate Cultural Center (3601 S. Gaffey St. San Pedro, CA 90731) Time: 6PM-10PM; . @MADU.CHINO in collaboration with @nxamusic @szehochen @toni.pasion @dearastralparu @jonathangodoy; . . 🎧: “Anitos (Spirits)” by Electric Kulintang . . . . . . #futurefilipinx #movement #performance #art #diaspora #synthesis #authentically #us #here

A Passage from Process: “Yes there are intergenerational traits and essences, AND there is an authentication that only YOU have, That the creator itself intentionally placed within your very DNA in this moment in time, To fully emerge in the moments that you call upon it.” . TOMORROW at @soundpedro, my dear sistah Paruparu (@dearastralparu) will be joining in the movement unfolding. Paru is a gem I’m so honored to be in constant dialogue with. Working through a synthesis of b-girling, breakdancing, culinary science, wordsmithing, melodic harmonizing, zine-making, and material curating—Paru’s creative unfolding is unique to her DNA map, showing us a way of living that honors our natural curiousities and cross-pollinations. . Another note, the organizer of this collective who is bringing us all together, Matt Dumpit (@madu.chino) is my cousin, and our creative intertwining brings forth a synthesis of inner children at play, young adults in a coming of age, and emerging elders. . TOMORROW Sound Pedro: An Evening of Ear-Oriented Multi-Sensory Presentations Location: Angels Gate Cultural Center (3601 S. Gaffey St. San Pedro, CA 90731) Time: 6PM-10PM; . MADU.CHINO in collaboration with @nxamusic @szehochen @toni.pasion @dearastralparu @jonathangodoy . . 🎧: Dialects 2 by Electric Kulintang; 📷1: Toni. Guåhan. By Carol Brown; 📷2: Paru. Santa Monica.
