Viet dance troupe to headline Luckman Center in L.A.
Friday, March 13th, 2009
The Bolsavik saw this posted prominently at Santa Ana College. And then he also received the press release in his email. The Luckman at Cal State L.A. is an entire complex devoted to Fine Arts, including several theaters large and small, and the 3,600 square foot Luckman Gallery that has been described as “Kunsthalle-like space.”
And Minh Tran & Company will be performing there tomorrow Saturday at 8:30pm. That’s Minh Tran himself in the picture above.
Here’s the blurp that appears on the poster at SAC:
Making its Luckman debut, Minh Tran & Company’s repertory of work and approach to contemporary dance will inspire audiences with its remark
able synthesis of both eastern and western aesthetics. The cross-cultivation of eastern and western forms results in a body of work that is symbolic, phyical, spiritual, and personal yet universal. Nocturnal Path [pictured right] draws from the spiritual world of Southeast Asia and is based on images of archaeological discoveries and mural paintings from temples throughout the region. The War Within [pictured after the jump] is an excerpt from The Road Home that recalls memories and experiences in South Vietnam under the communist regime from 1975-1980 and Tran’s escape to Thailand.
