COVID-19 has changed many aspects of the artistic world, by forcing adjustments or even eliminating the livelihood of many creatives. Public Radio 90's Kurt Hauswirth spoke with Bill Digneit (Director of the Department of Theatre and Dance at Northern Michigan University) about how the pandemic has changed the theatre and dance experience at a local level.
Points of conversation:
- How theatre companies and universities communicate how best to tackle the challenges of COVID-19 and social distancing requirements
- How the focus has shifted to online options, and the paradigm shift focusing attention to technology, budget needs, online accessibility and more
- How the pandemic has allowed for unseen opportunities
