Abstract

Rebooting the Muse advocates new ways of tackling the urgent challenges facing the Australian performing arts in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change emergency. The research explores how new digital technologies can be deployed to offer new audience experiences, and documents the impact on artist and community wellbeing of these innovations. Project participants include prominent South Australian music and theatre organisations, and features children's theatre and Indigenous music performance groups. The research findings will drive a revision of organisational business models to better ensure sustainability across the sector, and with that, improve the wellbeing of individuals and the broader community.
