The theatre was dark’: Exploring regional Australian theatre’s resilient response to Covid-19
After unprecedented events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, organisations reflect on their responses.

Some of these initiatives drive change and creativity. We investigate the impact of The Street Theatre as a meeting place where creatives can create and engage with networks. Literature suggests that these creative accelerators contribute to the…
