Hyo Han is the Director of Performing Arts at the Korean Cultural Center New York (KCCNY), a branch of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Republic of Korea, operating in New York at the Consulate General of Korea with a mission to bring the cultural contents of Korea in all of its diversities to New York and to stimulate cultural exchange between the US and Korea.
Hyo’s main work centers on bringing Korean performing arts works to New York not only by producing annual programming at the Cultural Center, but also by collaborating with arts and cultural institutions such as Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, BAM, 92Y, and many more. Over the past 9 years, Hyo has brought a wide array of performing arts genres to the stage including music, dance, theater, and Korean traditional performing arts to small clubs and large-scale venues alike, attracting hundreds of thousands of audience members to experience Korean culture firsthand. She has also founded KCCNY’s signature performing arts program, OPEN STAGE, which features an annual program of emerging and early-career Korean and Korean-American performing artists based in the US alongside living legends from Korea.
