Reconnecting Through Rhythm

Reconnecting Through Rhythm is a 2024 Stories Grant project by the Ketchikan Wellness Coalition, in partnership with filmmaker Rafael Bitanga.
Reconnecting Through Rhythm tells the story of Alma Manabat Parker, a Filipina in Ketchikan, Alaska, as she embarks on a journey to reconnect with her Filipino heritage through the power of traditional Filipino dance. By learning and teaching traditional dance, Alma hopes to bridge the gap between her Filipino roots and her Alaskan life.
