Dance Is Home: Still Zooming

Still Zooming is a variation of Dance is Home #14: Zooming with the addition of a Movement Guide that gives a specific structure for putting the dance together.  

Are you zoomed in or zoomed out?

In your house:

1. Study your next zoom meeting.
2. List the mannerisms and body language you see.
3. ​Find inspiration from the camera angles and focus.
4. Use the movement guide below to help create your dance.

Let’s dance about our zoom experiences. Zoom can be comical, frustrating, friendly, heartfelt, flat and so many other things. The gestures, body language and mannerisms speak to movement. This study encourages you to embody your current online practices in a fun and cathartic way. Use any of the suggestions below to expand on this mini-dance. Remember this can be as simple or complex as you want. It’s yours to make. Take your time and play!

Movement Guide:

1. Movement that describes logging on…This is your BEGINNING.
2. Add gestures from the reactions toolbar or any other effects to keep the zoom moving.
3. Teach your gesture to the dancers in your break out room. Put them together.
4. Short phrase about what you do during DL or how you feel at this time. 
5. 3 movements from the current class combination put together in any order.
6. Log off! This is you ENDING
7. #2-4 can be in any order. This is where you expand and tell your story, create and ARC/MIDDLE.
8. 1 to 2 minutes in length.

Consider:

• Using your learning space.Props.
• Different camera angles.Edit features.
• Sound: music, a lecture (get permission first), noise from your home.

A quick window into the current teaching reality: adjusting lessons as well as camera angles. There is a new way of checking in, playing with facings, working with audio, and sharing the space.
