Abstract
The purpose of this study is to establish the most severe impacts of Covid-19 in the field of the performing arts and to explore countermeasures taken both at home and abroad. This study has been conducted through literature surveys. The conclusion is as follows. First, since the outbreak of Covid-19, theater venues around the world have actively taken part in uploading recorded performances to streaming services. Secondly, these performance visualizings are generally considered as being complimentary goods rather than a substitute for live performance. Thirdly, although more audiences are tuning into watch on-line performances, consumption is concentrated on a few theaters which have a worldwide reputation and a broad range of content. Fourthly, to tackle the impact that Covid-19, the UK government announced a series of job protection schemes in the field of the Arts. In addition, Arts Council England prepared an emergency response package. In Korea, some countermeasures such as government support for artists and cultural establishments have also been implemented. Lastly, some suggestions for the sector. I conclude that there is an need for domestic companies to secure core contents of significant quality and to make strategic alliances with leading overseas performance companies so that they may cooperate together.
