Isolation Diary: These may be intermittent from now on. I am surprised that I continued this practice for so long. Last night I attended a Zoom play reading and participated in discussion afterwards and submitted some remarks by email as requested. For me this was an identity infusing experience. I guess I mean that I was able to exercise and use parts of my mind and experience that haven’t had much exercise lately. I don’t actually know if my comments were helpful but I was grateful for the opportunity. In isolation I am becoming familiar with the reality of never acting again, or directing. How do I feel about that? I had been considering not acting anymore before this covid19 thing. Hmmm, won’t go into that. Just sayin’, I was so delighted to, even through Zoom, encounter and experience the wonderful people of theater and Sacred Fools Theater Co.

I will agree that it is hard to replace physical human contact.But the mere act of exchanging ideas even if it is thru zoom is not something that should be dismissed.
I do not know what exactly your comments were and in what context they were made but I can only believe that any comment made from one person to another is immeasurable in value.Jaime R.
It was absolutely helpful!And it was so delightful to see you again, even if only in a small box on my computer screen!Aviva P.
As an AD I never know if anything I do is helping anyone. I know this isn’t about me, but I’m just really glad to hear this reading series made you feel good.Holly B.

Yes. Zoom is not ideal, but it is MUCH better than the proverbial nothing! And I view it as a new medium to explore.Laura E.F.
