Is ballet going to survive the pandemic?
🤔 The Royal Academy of Dance was founded in 1661.
1665 – Great Plague
1720 – Great Plague
1770 – Great Plague
1889 – Flu pandemic
1918 – Spanish Flu…
…1981…2009…
😐 I think so!
The ballet industry is suffering right now, but let’s remind ourselves that in the 19th century, dance plateaued out before Diaghilev (an art connoisseur) arrived and changed the whole game, with one word: creativity. My point is, it will take a creative push to figure out the solution…and I think our industry is stocked with creative people. Let’s hang on!👍 | Posted on 06/Oct/2020 03:52:22
