June 8th - Love is the Context

Alan Luu — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 09:44:47 +0000

I’m writing, conceiving, directing a 1/2 hour drama and dance production this Sunday during some of the Mosaic gatherings: Pasadena at 9:30am and the Mayan at 6:00 and 8:00pm. If nothing else, it’s going to be a visual feast, but hopefully it’ll be a nice emotional experience also — I’m describing it as a mindtrip.

So yes my last couple of weeks has been dominated by this. And many, many hours of work remain the rest of this week leading up to Sunday. Check it out if you can. For more info on locations, etc, for Mosaic, go to mosaic.org

A New Web Design, Another Video

Alan Luu — Fri, 23 May 2008 11:16:29 +0000

As you can easily see, I changed the wordpress theme/design of my blog again. I think this one’s a winner! You can do so much with it, including move around all the elements, and choose different ways to display your recent posts, videos, etc.

Since it does have the feature to show videos, I’m adding another video also. This is another dance piece we did at Mosaic. It’s to the great song “Falling Slowly” by Glen Hansard that won an Oscar for Best Original Song (from the movie Once).

Hope you enjoy my new site!

“Scribble That”

Alan Luu — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 20:22:55 +0000

For those of you who may wonder what that “dance stuff” is I’m always involved with, always rehearsing for, then I invite you to come this Friday night to see firsthand. We’re performing our “Scribble” show this Friday only at the Barnsdall Gallery Theater in Hollywood. This is the show we’ve taken in one form or another around the country and to South Africa. My parents, three of my brothers, and my brother’s fiancee are all coming to watch me. That’s going to be interesting in itself.

The show includes a lot of dance, some spoken word, and also a good wallop of comedy. It’s only $10 if you get the tickets now online! See more info below.

This Friday!

Awaken, But No Sleep

Alan Luu — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 09:37:31 +0000

Hola hola. It’s about 2:30am, and I will probably not get any sleep tonite. My church Mosaic is collaborating with another organization and putting on the Awaken 2008 Conference. It starts in about seven hours and goes until mid-day Thursday. Anyway, the dance ministry is involved in five dance pieces during the conference. I have some last minute music editing tonite to do, as well as some web-related work stuff to finish before the start of the conference. Still gotta pack costumes, too, so I expect that I’ll be up all night. I’ve got another two and a half hours to go, then probably have to shower and get going — call-time for us is 6am in Pasadena. Whoo whoo, fun fun.

Dance Dance Extravaganza

Alan Luu — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 07:45:51 +0000

I talk about it sometimes, but I don’t know that I’ve ever linked a video here of one of my dance pieces for Mosaic. Not sure why I’ve never done that. Well, there’s other places you can see videos of our dance pieces, perhaps. Anyway, I’m putting one here now. It is a dance called “The Call to An Original Life”, performed for my church Mosaic on October 7, 2007. A lot of hours went into this, and I even got my mom to help with sewing some of the costuming. Part of the inspiration came from the “matrix ping pong” videos on youtube. Thanks to Mike Tyus, Devin Oshiro, and others who contributed choreography.
