“The arts became my wings uplifting my life in ways my immigrant child sef didn’t dare imagine.

I am forever grateful to the numerous generous people who helped me soar.”

- “Manai”

Alleluia Panis

“Utilized the tintinnabulation of Pilipino songs and the sensuous delicacy of its dance in surpising new ways, fusing elements with contemporary American idioms. A major breakthrough.”

- Dance Magazine

“In the dancing one sees the outline of classical Southeast Asian culture, but there’s a sensuous freedom here that bursts beyond delicate abstractions and symbolism.”

- New York Times
