Performance by Lola Giouse in Downtown Variety: Take 6
La MaMa and CultureHub team up to create Downtown Variety, a weekly online live performance series that will feature short acts of dance, music, theater, new media, comedy, A/V performance, and more. Responding to calls for social isolation, Downtown Variety brings La MaMa's 1960s café aesthetic to a virtual platform that links performers and audiences in real time across distance. La MaMa and CultureHub will use emerging technologies to create a new venue for artistic expression that questions how art can function and how we as a society can survive challenging periods of history.
Powered by LiveLab, an experimental interface CultureHub is developing for networked collaboration between artists, technologists, and audiences.
Artists for this week include: Jon Kinzel, Víctor Martínez and Gabriela Corleto, Mallory Catlett with Jim Findlay, G Lucas Crane, and Keith Skretch, Jerome Ellis, Alberto del Saz, LizdeLise, with video art by Magnum Foundation artists Fabiola Ferrero, Juanita Escobar, and Arlene Mejorado!
Hosted by Mattie Barber-Bockelman
Creative Technologist — Sangmin Chae
