For performing artists this pandemic has changed the game. In the blink of an eye we have found ourselves in unfamiliar territory. A place where our work has dried up overnight for the foreseeable future. And like the rest of the world’s population, lockdown has presented itself with the challenge of being socially isolated. Throw in a government who I’m certain doesn’t realise we exist/ doesn’t value our worth and things have quickly become dire. So if the work that nourishes us and pays our bills has vanished, our freedom to collaborate in person has gone and we don’t even qualify for some of the packages on offer to financially hold us for now, how do we stay afloat and remember who we are and what we offer to society at large?
