During the pandemic: organisations mainly rely on their website and social media to show their streaming information so that people can get updates and find streaming timings.


"Local arts groups get this precious advertising space thanks to government support through the National Arts Council.

Like other governments around the world, the Singapore Government has deliberately leveraged the arts to attract investment and talent — the globally mobile professionals."

Arts organisations always had to find partners to collaborate with or to be given the approval to but now during the pandemic, they have the opportunity to reach out through online terms more easily and effectively attracting more people.

The art content has also made people indulge themselves in more of theatre and some even proceed to donate some amount of money as they find themselves interested in it and want to see more content. This in term can allow more people to be interested in arts itself and possible cultivate a creative mindset or to stimulate the mind of the society.

This can be seen from "As Wild Rice founding artistic director Ivan Heng, 56, says: "If there's one good thing to have come out of this crisis, it's the overwhelming response to streaming our shows online. Hopefully, this will translate into new audiences for Wild Rice and Singapore theatre in the not too socially distanced future."

The appreciations could be seen as one of the regular audiences "says she was very impressed by the productions. "I felt terrible not having paid anything after having watched two very good productions, and thought I should reach out to make a donation.""

(Patrons) 20020670 https://padlet.com/20025693/ut89egpbtshks7j6/wish/851101734 Prior to the pandemic : 
Patrons go to art festivals, huge exhibitions and theatre and dance productions.

During the pandemic :
There has been a surge in viewers for online shows. For example, Pangdemonium, has streamed four plays and had a 100% increase in traffic to its website since the start of the circuit breaker period [Co-founder Adrian Pang]  Not only do the audience come to watch shows, they visit for 'streaming information, learn how the pandemic affected Pangdemonium, stay updated on future productions and donate.' the surge in views also came from 91 countries all over the world

Another theatre company, WildRice reports that 'Emily Of Emerald Hill, drew close to 150,000 views, while Dream Academy, which has been posting daily clips in its 50 Days Of Laughter series on Facebook and YouTube, has drawn more than two million views.' SSO reported to have a 37% increase in subscribers

however, some noted that if they implemented tickets to watch the online shows, it does not get that much attention. If the content is free, the number of views are much higher. 

All in all, during this pandemic, patrons have been more participative in such events. The increase in numbers proves the point. I think this is due to the lack of activities they can do outside especially during the circuit breaker, patrons find entertainment online and increased the viewership for these companies]]> 2020-10-22 03:38:42 UTC https://padlet.com/20025693/ut89egpbtshks7j6/wish/851101734 20025693 https://padlet.com/20025693/ut89egpbtshks7j6/wish/851146058 2020-10-22 04:09:59 UTC https://padlet.com/20025693/ut89egpbtshks7j6/wish/851146058 20025693 https://padlet.com/20025693/ut89egpbtshks7j6/wish/851146945 2020-10-22 04:10:33 UTC https://padlet.com/20025693/ut89egpbtshks7j6/wish/851146945
