How Did We Get Our Name?
In the theatre, a black box is a space where neither the performers nor audiences are held to constraints, a place where people notice things that typically would go unnoticed.
In engineering, a black box is an abstract concept of creating, a tool for making where the inner workings are a mystery, yet the outcomes are a direct response to the input.
For us, Black Box is a place where artists can bring their talent, interest, and curiosity about the world, a place where audiences, participants, and performers connect; a place where meaningful human interactions lead to the creation of transformative art.
