Abstract

In this research, we ask whether and how Covid-19 pandemics imprinted performing arts organizations and wellbeing at those workplaces. Taking the case of two French performing arts organizations, one large, institutionalized one and a small one, we identify the lasting effects of the pandemic period on well-being in both organizations. We discover two situations: in one case, the covid imprints the organization and wellbeing by serving as a repository to renew practices and couple them with a return to the original structure. In the other, the covid plays as an impetus to essentialize the organizational imprint, leading to (re)focus the initial artistic project.
