ALEX LUU is a critically acclaimed solo performance artist, workshop facilitator/teacher, and independent filmmaker who graduated from UCLA’s School of Film/Television. Luu has been performing & facilitating/teaching the MY OWN STORY (MOS) workshop nationally since 1989 and 1997, respectively.
Luu’s autobiographical “performance theater” work addresses themes such as identity, racism, body image/politics, family dynamics and the overall under representation of People of Color (especially Asian American males) in mainstream media & culture.

Based in Los Angeles,, Luu combines performance art, monologue, and physical movement in a kinetic no-holds-barred style and presentation that is at once hilariously over-the-top and heartrendingly poignant. Luu’s one-man show “Three Lives” and other performance works have garnered critical acclaim from publications such as Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, South End News, Asian New Yorker, LA Weekly, Orange County Weekly, AsianWeek, Chinese Daily News, Rafu Shimpo, and Eugene Weekly.

Luu’s works have been seen at Highways Performance Space, Boston Center for the Arts, Strand Theater, Japanese American Cultural Community Center, Asian American Writers Workshop, Tremont Theater, Asian American Theater Center, Los Angeles Theater Center, East West Players, Rude Guerilla Theater, and college/high school campuses.

In addition to performing nationally, Luu facilitates/teaches MY OWN STORY (MOS), an autobiographical writing/storytelling/performing workshop for adults and college/high school around the country. Luu has been artist-in-residence and guest artist professor at numerous arts & community organizations and colleges with his “Three Lives” show and MOS workshops. His most recent artist & lecturer residencies include Berklee College of Music (Boston), Boston Mayor’s Office of Arts & Tourism, and the Asian American Studies Dept at UC Davis.

Luu’s writings have also been published in various anthologies, including Bold Words: A Century of Asian American Writing from Rutgers University Press (2002).
