Project overview

Dance and Lockdown is a small-scale qualitative study designed to generate richly detailed experiential data from two key layers of the dance industry’s ecology: artists and organisations. It seeks to find out how organisations and artists have adapted and innovated in response to pandemic conditions.

Project objectives 

The research aims to qualify and understand the attitudes of the people involved, the lessons learned, and the potential short and long-term creative and organisational impacts of the pandemic on the dance and performing arts sector.
