👁🗨 So, once you are on zoom, you should be on gallery view (smaller pictures of all cast members at all times) or speaker view (the speaking actor is very large). We've found that both experiences are excellent. EXCEPT on a phone. Phone users should use speaker view so the faces are big enough to get subtleties.
Speaker view is more like a film, with close-ups.
Gallery view is more like a play because you can see all of the action, including reactions at all times ...
Your call.
Our Online Experiment
i don't see mom
By Kenneth Nowell
Directed by Justine Lambert
These times are challenging and unique. We needed a creative outlet to help us handle everything we're all going through. What we do is theatre so we did a play online.
Like so many others we turned to Zoom. The play was set on zoom. The characters were living through it along with all of us.
Performances were in April and May of 2020
