The Change is Here How Covid-19 has affected dance professionals around the world

How will we remember the time of the Covid-19 pandemic? How to go forward despite the restrictions and isolation orders? What does the future look like? We certainly have more questions than answers at this point! And we are only slowly coming to terms with the fact that we might have to live with present insecurities, with the not-knowing, for quite some time. One thing is for sure: we are not returning to the same old world.

The virus has impacted different countries in wholly different ways. Many have suffered great losses, sometimes far worse than in the Western hemisphere. Magazin im August asked artists around the world how their work and life has been affected by the pandemic and how they imagine the future. Their stories are proof of the strength, resilience and hope that arises from their commitment and passion for art and their support of their local and global communities. What they share is the determination to rebound despite feelings of loss.
