Abstract

The currents of the industrial revolution 4.0 and society 5.0 have changed the world order from computerization to digitalization. One of them that was seriously affected was the world of dance, because dance artists (choreographers) had to keep up with the times. Plus the Covid-19 pandemic which forced the world to completely change the order of life from manual to digital. The COVID-19 pandemic requires choreographers to be more creative in packaging works from creation to showing the work in digital form. This makes the choreographer work more extra because it no longer just stops until the work is performed in front of an audience on a ‘stage’ but until the work is digital. In this condition, there are still many artists who try to keep working but still rely on live performances even with health protocols, but have not produced significant results. Thus the digitization of dance works becomes something very urgent. This article tries to analyze how the form of dance performances during the pandemic is a challenge and opportunity for artists to keep the dance world alive. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method, with data collection of observations, documentation, and literature studies. The results showed that during the pandemic, dance works were in digital form using social media as a ‘stage’. The challenges that must be faced by choreographers are not only having to work extra but also having competence and/or knowledge of video editing and social media management so that dance works can be appreciated to the maximum. Opportunities that are obtained with the form of digital dance works, namely creative social media management, will bring a lot of appreciation to bring commercial benefits.
