ACADEMIA Letters Dance creative processes during the Covid-19 pandemic. File 1: social distance in the studio Diego Antonio Marín Bucio Introduction From the sanitary restrictions undertaken by governments around the world, the dynamics of social coexistence have been dramatically afected, since the physical presence of people implied a vital interaction for many social and professional activities. This context has forced everyone to recreate their ways of living, working, and even being physically and mentally healthy. Many activities can be adapted to technology and allow working from home and even some can be adjusted to do so in person, taking care of all the necessary measures to reduce the risks of COVID-19 infection, however, others are showing many difculties to continue their professional routines. Dance is one of these activities since its main working tool is the body (Rivière et al., 2018), and during this context, it has been tried to be adapted in difer- ent ways (such as digital media or isolated spaces) which brings diferent questions related to the implications of how dance appears to us and how it changes when interacts with dif- ferent mediums. In this sense, ‘Dance creative processes during COVID-19 pandemic’is a series of papers that attempt to document and analyze, through diferent approaches, how the community of dance experienced this period in some diferent cities and contexts. Being aware that any particular community in the world experienced this phenomenon in distinct manners (framed by their determined social, cultural and economic conditions); each document will delimit cases according to the possibilities that were feasible to reach during the context of the pandemic and the feldwork, which were diverse and unpredictably intermittent.
