Cambridge\u2019s American Repertory Theater and the Healthy Buildings Program at Harvard\u2019s T.H. Chan School of Public Health have announced plans to develop a \u201cRoadmap to Recovery and Resilience for Theater,\u201d<\/a> based on their scientific study in which they aim to \u201cdevelop principles and general guidance that address the particular challenges the theater faces as a result of the pandemic.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cThe question of how the theater can safely come back is our field\u2019s most pressing challenge,\u201d A.R.T. Artistic Director Diane Paulus said in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is an all-in moment for the world, and the arts have a critical role to play in our recovery,\u201d Joseph Allen, assistant professor of exposure assessment science at Harvard\u2019s Chan School and director of the Healthy Buildings program, said in a prepared statement. \u201cI share Diane\u2019s passion and sense of responsibility to leverage two of Harvard\u2019s strengths\u2014arts and health science\u2014to provide a path forward for theater. To get there, we will draw on decades of research and practice on how to keep people safe as we consider how to effectively minimize the risk of disease transmission in ways that will allow theaters to continue their work.\u201d<\/p>\n The \u201cRoadmap to Recovery and Resilience for Theater\u201d is intended to be a publicly available \u201ccase study for the field.\u201d The theater says, \u201cThe initial framework will be available online at americanrepertorytheater.org\/public-health-update<\/a> in the coming weeks.\u201d They plan to update the information as they address \u201crehearsal and performance practice; audience interactions, including ticketing, restrooms, and concessions; back-of-house operations; and overall healthy building strategies.\u201d<\/p>\n If this is the kind of coverage of arts, cultures and activisms you appreciate, please support Wonderland by contributing to Wonderland on Patreon<\/a>.
