La MaMa Experimental Theater Club, which for over 50 years has produced a uniquely global array of experimental theater, dance, performance art, and music, launched CultureHub in 2009 with its longtime partner the Seoul Institute of the Arts. La MaMa founder Ellen Stewart was a pioneering force in the movement behind the now-commonplace black box theater, an architectural shift that revolutionized the performing arts. CultureHub builds upon Stewart's legacy of innovation, implementing state-of-the-art telepresence technology to transform the black box for a new century and bring artists and audiences from various international locations together in performance, without having to be in the same physical space.
