    y separately published work icon Australasian Drama Studies no. 78 May 2021 22092669 2021 periodical issue 'As I write to introduce Issue 78 of this journal, it is difficult to ignore the momentous changes that have impacted both theatres and theatre scholarship in the past year. In April 2020, only weeks after the global pandemic exploded, I described the times as being `extraordinarily bleak'. Over the last twelve months, theatres, live performance and face-to-face teaching in the discipline shut down across the globe, for extended periods of time, in order to contain contagion between what Stanton B. Garner describes as 'the medium's intermingling bodies'. Much performance, teaching, research and many conferences moved to online platforms with varying degrees of success. A year on, as the pandemic recedes in Australasia at least, and theatres and campuses begin to open up again, the impact is becoming evident. Ristani (in the quote above) points to a history of resilience, with theatres rebounding rapidly after times of plague. The aftermath of this plague, for theatre —and in particular, theatre scholarship and training — appears less certain, at least in the short-to-medium term.' (Yoni Prior, Editorial introduction)
