The year 2020 has been a year with an unprecedented scope of complexities and ubiquity. Universities and Conservatories in Performing Arts had to take a more proactive and agile role in shifting into newer learning modes and teaching under the pandemic. These paradigm shifts required new ways of encounters and approaches as universities and conservatories (re) think how the new normal in living, performance, learning and teaching under the pandemic required a (re)invention of existence, values, and ways of doing. As we approach a new era of (re) thinking, universities and conservatories must now reflect on their practices and generate innovative strategies and insights to overcome the new challenges. And ask how technologies and 21st Century competencies are reshaping performing arts in performance, curriculum design, teaching and learning and research.
