Description

When COVID-19 hit, I switched to tele-health from in-person sessions which is what I’d always done before. Like many other students I was afraid that much of the closeness of the co-created space would be lost. I wondered how my patrons or customers would be able to tell if I’m a warm, safe presence if they’re not literally in my presence. My experience surprised me. In some ways, a greater level of intimacy was possible, since people could choose to participate from a space that was familiar and intimate to them. Part of the VIP room has always been kind of artificial: “Come sit on my couch/ private room and open up all your most vulnerable places to me.” Our listening audiences and patrons said things like “I thought I would hate this, but it’s so much more convenient!” Many are busy professionals. Without having to worry about drive times, gas prices, traffic, etc., they were able to fit virtual classes and sessions into parts of their day that worked better for them. They needed less time off work and appreciated the ease of clicking a link to start lessons rather than driving across town or to another city entirely. I was also afraid of trying my tele -entertainment fashion, dance or wellness sessions in a new refreshing relaxing way. Reply here. Nastassja
