The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted performing arts in Bali, especially direct activities that have seen a drastic decline. This study examines the pandemic's impact on two main groups in Balinese performing arts: the Cultural-Centric group, which focuses on preserving traditional cultural values and communal cooperation, and the Market-Centric group, which is more oriented towards market demands and innovation. Through a socio-cultural approach, this research evaluates the social influence, cultural participation, and cultural adaptation that occurred during the pandemic. The Cultural-Centric group faced challenges in maintaining cultural activities and traditions amidst social restrictions that reduced community interaction and communal activities. In contrast, the Market-Centric group found opportunities in digital media to reach a wider audience. Cultural adaptation during the pandemic demonstrates that interest in performing arts did not decline but rather shifted to indirect platforms such as virtual performances. On the other hand, the dependency of artists on live performances actually increased. The objective of this design is to create a facility that can accommodate and integrate both groups in the revitalization of performing arts affected by the pandemic. By designing a Bali Dance, Music, and Theater Arts Center that facilitates collaboration between cultural preservation and modern innovation, it is hoped to enhance cultural participation and the well-being of Balinese artists, while preserving cultural values in the face of changing times.
