They have the honor of being the Artistic Director of The House of Kilig and Founding space tender of Paruparo - a qtpoc haven in Portland, OR. With a specialty in offering sensually sacred dance and movement-based storytelling experiences, Moonyeka's performance, community organizing and divination work centers kapwa, maarte and kilig as a compass to imagine worlds where their communities can thrive.

They’re currently developing an upcoming work, Harana For The Aswang. Harana for The Aswang is an interdisciplinary performance work centered on the research of harana, a Filipinx serenade song form rooted in courtship and grief rituals.

nawa draws upon QT performance technologies in their writing, infusing nightlife, icon-myth-legend, drag, tease, and kink. You can find them frollicking in a spectrum of chimeric writing fields and genres such as: biomythography, hybrid-wtfness, and the game writing industry. They were recently published in smoke and mold with their multiverse of work centering Waling-Waling Orchids. Am I Hot Enuf 2 Kill? a series of hybrid prose, will be published in The Holy Hour anthology, by Working Girls Press.
