I’m jay

I’m a Filipino American artist rooted in collaboration and community.

I make work to further understand my/our place here on earth.

Sometimes it looks like dance.  Sometimes it is live or on film, or a hybrid of the two.  Sometimes it’s conversational, like tsismis (gossip) — a space for preservation and community care. And sometimes it involves food.

I value trust, realness, pakiramdam (knowing by feeling), bringing people together and taking care of them.

I’m a Taurus. I’m passionate, serious, playful, loyal, and sensitive.
