'The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the field of theatre and performance in Australasia have intensified and, in some cases, re-focused the attention of artists and scholars on issues of resilience, well-being and precarity that have been legitimate preoccupations across academic disciplines since the early 2000s. As Margaret Ames and Stephen Greer point out, however, the resilience so frequently attributed to those who work in creative spheres can also serve ‘to rationalise and naturalise the redistribution of responsibility for social and systemic problems from the state to communities and individuals’.1 The role of the artist in society is shifting alongside extreme shifts in forms in theatre and performance, in the way our audiences engage, and in the ways in which we congregate, associate and learn.'
