Abstract

This report presents research into the challenges faced by the performing arts sector in Western Australia (WA) during the sudden lockdowns that occurred because of the COVID-19 pandemic in early-to-mid 2020. The research includes a series of digital stories told by artists who were affected by COVID-19 lockdowns and provides both a historical snapshot as well as digital record of the challenges that were faced by performing artists in WA during the beginning of the pandemic.
