Performers were impacted seriously by COVID-19 but let’s stay strong together at this crucial time 新
KITA Performing Arts Company takes pride in our role of bringing people wonderful cultural experiences through our performances. The Coronavirus (COVID-19) has made a huge impact on the Travel Industry since February 2020. Everything else seem normal back then, but early last month, the announcement of Global Pandemic from WHO has raised the awareness of the Government and therefore almost every day has a new measurement rule came out: from events gather more than 500 people to be cancelled to cancellations of all events gather more than 100 people. By mid-March, all Cultural organisations like the Museums, Libraries, Event venue providers, entertainment performers and artists are suddenly out-of-work.
We know every decision made by the Government is to ensure the safety of the staffs, audiences, artists and presenters. The decision was totally counterintuitive to what we do and deeply upsetting; but it was the right thing to do as we collectively battle to curb the spread and impact of COVID-19 on the community. Now in our daily practice, we can’t have gathering for more than 2 people from different families, people must stay at home unless for the following 4 reasons: shopping for daily need, exercise, medical appointments and for go to work or education purposes. KITA loves nothing more than to re-start our business ASAP and warmly welcome school bookings back as well as the public performances. However, the Victoria State Government has made an announcement yesterday 7th April request all schools to be conducted remote learning for the upcoming Term 2, which means the wait will have to extend at least until mid-July. Right now we are not able to do any public performances or school incursions. Therefore until we can bring you the Cultural experiences again, we will be in touched by sharing all sort of performing arts information with you via our Facebook Fan Page: https://www.facebook.com/SabrinaDanceTroupe/
For now, please continue to follow the advice and directives of government health authorities. For the most up-to-date information and advice, visit: https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/coronavirus
KITA多元文化表演藝術舞團的宗旨即是希望透過表演為人們帶來美妙的文化體驗。然而來新冠肺炎病毒(COVID-19)自2020年2月以來肆虐並重創全球旅遊業。當時其他產業似乎都還正常運作。但上個月初當世衛組織宣布病毒全球大流行後,政府開始了一系列的防疫動作,幾乎每天都會公布新的衡量規則:從禁止聚集500人以上的所有大型活動進行到取消全數聚集100人以上的活動。至3月中旬,文化組織如博物館,活動安排組織,場地供應商,娛樂表演者和藝術表演工作者瞬間失業。
我們了解政府的每項政令都是為了確保工作人員、聽眾及表演工作者的安全。縱使這些決定違背我們工作的宗旨也使我們深感不安,但我們是在共同努力遏制新冠肺炎對社區的傳播和影響,這是正確的做法。現在,政府已經明確規定我們的日常生活中不能聚集兩個以上非來自同家庭的人,而且除了以下四個理由外就只能待在家:購買日需用品,運動,看病以及必須上班或上課。
雖然KITA希望能盡快重新開始我們的業務,並熱烈歡迎學校預訂以及公眾演出。但維多利亞州政府已於昨天4月7日正式宣布學校的第二期 Term 2 將全部進行遠距教學,這意味著我們的等待時間至少將延續到7月中旬為止。
目前我們無法進行任何公開表演或校園教學及演出,因此,能再次為您帶來文化體驗前,就讓我們通過臉書粉絲頁與您分享各種表演藝術相關的訊息吧:https://www.facebook.com/SabrinaDanceTroupe/
至於新冠肺炎病毒(COVID-19)的消息,請大家繼續遵循政府衛生部門的建議和指示。有關最新訊息和建議,請參考:https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/coronavirus
