Creativity and Resilience: Tales of Artistic Overcoming During Pandemics
The pandemic brought major challenges to Companhia de Musica Teatral’sartistic and educative work. Finding new approaches that allowed us to carry on creating, performing, connecting to audiences and educators was, and still is, a challenge to creativity and resilience. In this presentation we share our own path to overcome the newly arrived problems. We share reflections about difficulties and discoveries that have emerged during all these processes. We have found new ways to use our creativity—our most important finding is about the nature of musicality “bringing people together”, and what that means.
