12-1pm PT . 1-2pm MT . 2-3pm CT . 3-4pm ET
Virtual “Zoom In” of live Lumpia cooking and hand-rolling gathering.
Join us for a celebration of community hand-rolling ritual, centered around Rosana (Sana) Rojas’s Lumpia recipe, a non-traditional exploration of the Filipino staple, REMIXED! Dancing Earth collaborator Taraneh Sarrafzadeh welcomes you into her mother’s home, Sana’s Kitchen, as friends from different backgrounds explore Mixed-icism as they roll lumpia together.
What is a Lumpia?
Lumpia is a well-loved Filipino delight similar to a “spring roll”, hand-rolled and often made for gatherings or celebrations. Lumpia are made with thin paper-like skin called "lumpia wrapper" enveloping savory or sweet fillings, fried and served with sauce. With Lumpia becoming so popular, there are many different variations and creative recipes of Lumpia, but the most widespread is “Lumpia Shanghai” which is filled with minced pork and veggies. This edition of Lumpia Queens will feature Sana’s Shrimp and Veggie lumpia - a fun and delicious REMIX of Lumpia!

About ROSANA ROJAS

Born in Davao City, Philippines, with family roots in the Visayas as well as China, brought to the US as a teenager, Rosana brings together her many cultural influences when she creates in the kitchen. She carries passion for travel and diverse cultural experiences alongside a natural rooting in her Filipino and Asian foodways, as well as eating in a way that is nutritious and nourishing for the body, and these passions are reflected in how she experiments in the kitchen.

Who is this for? People of Mixed-ness!
What does that mean? We are inviting this meaning to inclusively expand in what ‘mixed-icism’ could mean - do you speak more than one language, do you balance a job with family duties, are your ancestors from different counties or villages, do you spend time in both urban and rural settings, did you grow up in a household with more than one religion, do you carry masculine and feminine energies - we will be tracking all the mixed-ness throughout each Mixed Salon event!
Why? Because we feel that diversity is what creates an interesting cultural experience, and we know that eco-diversity is crucial to life on earth, so we want to celebrate the mixed-ness within each individual! And, this is the theme being explored in Rulan’s next creative production…
We welcome donations for those who are attending - or those who are not - to support Dancing Earth’s eco-centered creative practices year round!

We strive to embody the unique essences of cultural perspectives by creation and renewal of artistic and cultural movement rituals. Ancient and futuristic, our dances are an elemental language of bone and blood memory in motion.” - Founding Director, Rulan Tangen
