An LA native dedicated to staying in the Lenape Territory for awhile. Melani is a Filipino-Americanx multidisciplinary dance artist, actor, educator, community facilitator, and healer. The heart of her work is rooted in healing, sensual embodiment, and reclaiming ancestral lineages. She has integrated her diverse practices and collaborative partnerships into site-specific solo works, dance films, and movement offerings.
Melani reclaims her power and truth studying somatic movement practices, mysticism through astrology, community activism, and forever being a student. Her evolving purpose is to create potent and inspiring medicine- projects, initiatives, works, spaces, movements- to help elevate the way all bodies exist.
