This article delves into the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic in the landscape of ballet production in Japan, with a particular focus on the experiences of the Japan Performing Arts Foundation (NBS). The paper examines the challenges faced by the NBS and other cultural organizations, shedding light on their efforts to adapt to the crisis. It explores the response of the Japanese government, particularly the financial aid programs introduced by the Agency for Cultural Affairs, and the response of artists, and argues that both government support for ballet and artist advocacy increased because of and during the COVID crisis and further describes the innovation and temporization of both.
