In response to the current situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Slovak Theatre Institute has created a short survey to map to impact of the emergency measures on the independent arts sector. Respondents are asked to estimate the number of performances and events they have had to cancel due to the quarantine now in place and to describe the impact they expect the emergency measures to have on their theatre or organisation during and after the quarantine period. The survey also askes whether the state should compensate arts organisations, in whole, or in part, for losses sustained due to the pandemic.
