Feed Drop: The Beach Speaks, Hosted by Paige Friend

Show Notes for this Episode from Paige Friend and The Beach SpeaksA friend of mine from “up North” asked me what’s it like to be in a hurricane? That got me thinking about my past 22 years living in Florida. How many hurricanes had I been in?
I grew up in the mountains of Pennsylvania. The only “natural disasters” I ever experienced were blizzards - which were fairly common and not all that disastrous. It wasn’t until I moved to Florida that I had ever been in an actual natural disaster - a hurricane.
I had just moved to Orlando when four hurricanes rolled through Florida - one right after the other:
Charlie, Francis, Ivan, and Jeanne.
Don’t you love how hurricanes have “everyday” names?
It makes sense to give hurricanes a name because it makes it really easy to talk about them later, like: “Remember when Andrew came one night and took our roof ?” Or, “Katrina - yeah - she was bad”
And, like people, hurricanes have different personalities, are difficult to predict, and you never quite know what they’re going to do.
In this episode, I tell my story of two significant hurricanes in my life (so far): my first, Charley, and my last, Ian.
The hurricanes were roaring, the beach was speaking, and I was listening!

Decolonizing Art with Choreographer Alleluia Panis
June 14, 2023
•42m
Today, I’m joined by dancer, choreographer, and cultural leader Alleluia Panis. In our conversation, Alleluia expands on the vision behind her captivating performances, many of which are inspired by her lived experience as a Filipina immigrant.
Alleluia describes how many of the indigenous Filipino traditions have been forgotten due to the dark history of colonialism in the country. As the Artistic and Executive Director of KULARTS, Alleluia’s mission is to reintroduce the world to contemporary and tribal Filipino art. In her personal quest to reconnect with her indigenous self, she invites others to question where they might also be estranged from their true identity.
Alleluia’s curiosity has led her to explore more of her lineage and global history. After her research phase, she collaborates with other artists to develop characters, storylines, and corresponding dance pieces. Alleluia shares details of how this process unfolded for performances like for ‘She, Who Can See,’ ‘Nursing These Wounds,’ as well as her current project about the relationship between the US military and the Philippines. She also touches on the retreats and workshops she hosts in tandem with indigenous tribes in the Philippines.

● Dance as a form of meditation and prayer
● How Alleluia works to find the balance of a piece that communicates her truth, but also invites others to find themselves in it
