Re-Inventing the Live Arts Event with Local Arts Communities: Covid 19

COVID-19是否扼杀了现场活动？许多创意产业的人都担心这一点。然而，另一种观点可能是：“现场活动万岁！“拟议中的研究将通过探索艺术家如何通过提出以下问题来重新发明现场活动来询问这种动态：与流行病相关的生产条件变化如何影响现场活动的艺术创作？”在COVID-19的限制下，不同类型的艺术家探索了哪些创造性的解决方案来重新发明现场活动（例如特定地点，多媒体，参与式）？2019冠状病毒病限制如何影响现场活动的内在力量，以产生社区感并实现共享体验？观众如何回应创新的现场艺术活动，这可能看起来实验性和陌生的他们？疫情如何改变人们对现场艺术活动的理解和欣赏？如何利用与流行病有关的变化来提高创意部门未来的复原力？为了探索这些问题，PI将在北威尔士组织一个当地艺术节（2021年6月），汇集艺术家和表演者，共同创造一系列现场户外和室内活动。PI将在艺术节筹备期间和艺术节结束后对正在进行的艺术作品和艺术作品进行跟踪、记录和讨论。合作艺术家将记录他们正在进行的工作，并在在线会议上与学者和利益相关者讨论他们的工作。PI将与艺术家合作撰写一篇共同撰写的文章，将研究结果提供给主要利益相关者，并为未来的实践提供信息。该研究项目的所有方面都将在网上提供。

Has Covid-19 killed the live event? Many in the Creative Industries fear so. An alternative view, however, could be: 'Long live the live event!' The proposed research will interrogate this dynamic by exploring how artists can re-invent the live event by asking the following questions: How do pandemic-related changes to conditions of production affect art-making for live events? What are the creative solutions explored by artists across genres to re-invent live events (e.g. site-specific, multi-media, participatory) under Covid-19 restrictions? How do Covid-19 restrictions affect the intrinsic power of live events to generate a sense of community and enable shared experiences? How do audiences respond to innovative live arts events, which might appear experimental and unfamiliar to them? How does the pandemic change people's understanding and appreciation of live arts events? How can pandemic-related changes be harnessed to improve future resilience in the creative sector? In order to explore these questions, the PI will organise a local arts festival in North Wales (June 2021), bringing together artists and performers with the shared aim of creating a series of live outdoor and indoor events. The PI will shadow, document and discuss the artistic work-in-progress and the art works during the preparations for the festival as well as after the festival. Collaborating artists will document their work-in-progress and discuss their work with academics and stakeholders in an online conference. The PI will collaborate with artists on a co-authored article, making the research findings available to key stakeholders and informing future practice. All aspects of the research project will be available online.
