For me, the main positive of the shutdown is a massive increase in the amount of improv I can do. I can easily take 3 improv classes via Zoom per week. Each class has a number of people which has remained fairly constant over the last year or two, forming a fairly cohesive mini-community. This applies also to jams. Here's an example. I live in Los Angeles. Through FaceBook, I found a bi-weekly improvised rap jam that is led by a doctor in Belfast. Very enjoyable and completely impossible without Zoom. I have also taken classes from world-famous teachers that I could have never otherwise met, as well as classes from Tucson, Las Vegas, Chicago, New York, Florida, and London. Doing this, alone is not alone.
