Abstract: This study reflects the explosive increase in interest and demand for online performance distribution after COVID-19, in contrast to the existing perception of only performance halls or festivals as a distribution channel for performing arts, and a new paradigm and new method of performing arts distribution. Let’s take a look at the future prospects of performance distribution in the metaverse. When performing in the metaverse, a virtual space, the background desired by the choreographer can be easily implemented with digital technology, and while new spaces that cannot be experienced in the real world can be realized in the virtual world, a set to decorate the stage, and facilities such as sound and lighting equipment. It is not very necessary, so it can be seen as the scalability of space expansion. In addition, the collaboration between the avatar industry, which is a virtual character in the game, and the performance industry can be seen as an expansion of multidisciplinary arts as a new place where performance audiences of a new era gather and a communication industry where feedback from performance audiences is possible. Lastly, through NFT of digital contents, great scarcity will be granted through metaverse, a new market, which will expand the scope of performance distribution. As a result, at the present time when a new culture is emerging through the combination of platforms and contents in the metaverse, a virtual space, there is a great potential for development of performance distribution in the metaverse. It is believed to be essential for development.
