COMMENTS

I usually conduct fieldwork to explore the development of Balinese performing arts in Bali, Jakarta, and Japan. Since the pandemic made it difficult for me to travel abroad, I have been conducting online research on the impact of COVID-19 on Balinese performing arts in each region through news reports and communication with local performing artists via social networking services. I launched this joint research project with the aim of understanding the situation in other regions and genres and to find peers to discuss these issues together.
