LA native now settling in the Lenape Territory (otherwise known as New York City), Melani is a Filipinx-American multidisciplinary dance artist, actor, educator, community facilitator, and healer. In 2016 she moved to New York and has worked as a freelance movement artist with choreographers and producers.  She’s the founder of ENTRE NOUS, a movement duo with double bassist, Sarah Favinger; performing works and sharing improvised works on reclaiming, rejoicing, and revisiting lineages. Along with being a movement artist, Melani is a teaching artist developing her own therapeutic movement curriculum working with students with special needs.

She integrates 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, and community.
