Abstract:
This article critically evaluates the development and impact of a new online 'dance practice' service in a rural creative hub Remote. The research asks: 'How does entrepreneurial placemaking contribute to the evolution of rural creative hubs during the COVID-19 pandemic?' To answer this question, the article critically evaluates the business activities of one artisan entrepreneur, applying placemaking and resilience. Using a case study strategy, this research employs online qualitative research. Creative hub development is explained as a result of 'entrepreneurial placemaking', forming the main contribution of this article. This term subsumes multi-layered exchanges. 'Entrepreneurial placemaking' is conceptualised as continuous becoming, and illustrated by Remote's adaption processes to lockdown phases. Remote is turned into a stage for digital placemaking during the COVID-19 lockdown via the 'open dance practice' service provided by a performance dance artist. Findings highlight that to enact entrepreneurial placemaking, creative professionals need to draw upon adaptive capacity, which includes the ability to develop exchange relationships and business-related digital skills. Peer-learning is a recommended solution for developing such digital skills across artist entrepreneurial communities. This article contributes to the ongoing conversation on the role of creative hubs for socio-economic development foregrounding the activities of hub users.
