Covid-19 Impact on Performance Art

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected performance art by limiting live audiences and canceling events, which reduced revenue for artists and venues. Many performers shifted to virtual platforms, exploring online performances to reach audiences remotely. This shift also sparked innovations in digital art forms and broadened access but posed challenges related to technology and engagement. The pandemic underscored the fragility of the sector's financial stability and emphasized the need for adaptable, resilient practices within the arts community. Overall, it accelerated changes in how performance art is experienced, highlighting both vulnerabilities and opportunities for growth.
