KULARTS presents SF Artistic Legacy Awardee choreographer Alleluia Panis's remounting of the successful Nursing These Wounds, a site specific, immersive dance performance investigating the impact of colonization on Pilipinx health and caregiving through the lens of Pilipinx nurses' history. Combining film, song, dance, history and ritual, in Nursing These Wounds Panis makes visible the hidden lives of immigrant nurses, the fragility of their American dream, and the need for camaraderie and faith in spirituality to cope with the ever-present dangers of hospital work.
In honoring Panis with the first SF Legacy Artist Award, the SF Arts Commission writes, "[Panis'] choreographic inventions are drawn from the exquisite articulation of Pilipino indigenous ritual dances, the muscular grace of the warrior Pilipino blade-fighting system, and the dynamic physicality of contemporary dance." Premiered in San Francisco at the Brava Theater in 2022, Nursing These Wounds is an exploration of the experiences of Pilipinx nurses with Westernized medical education and how subsequent migrations laid the groundwork for the continuing global export of Pilipino labor, shaped the United States medical field, and created a fissure between traditional forms of knowledge and our community's conceptions of well-being.
The dance artists of Nursing These Wounds are Johan Casal, Jess DeFranco, Genevie Dela Cruz, Dre 'Poko' Devis, Sydney Leong, Jonathan M. Mercado, Frances Teves Sedayao, Kao Sebastian Saephanh, and Angel Velez.
Founded in 1985, KULARTS is the premier presenter of contemporary and tribal Pilipino arts in the United States. We are a not-for-profit arts organization based in San Francisco, California. The mission of KULARTS is to inform and expand the understanding of American Pilipino culture through the arts.
