Does anyone else feel like we are experiences some

Does anyone else feel like we are experiences some weird time warps with covid? March went by at a snails pace, and April was a blip. How is May going for all you folks out there? We want to know how you are spending this time. *
*
As a company we are working hard on our two main projects, our Vertical Theatre Method Book and launching our Remote Teacher Training. One of the nice things about this the lack of scheduled activities is that we've been able to find more time for daily meetings between the two of us, Rain Anya and Sarah Bebe Holmes. We usually struggle with lining up our schedules because we're not only working with a time zone difference of 8 hours, but also because we normally have such busy schedules. We're still quite busy, but have more flexibility with our timing, so that's been helpful!
*
*
We still don't know where this industry is headed and what the future will hold, and we talk about it almost daily. But I guess it's true what they say "Only Time Will Tell."

🙋🏽‍♀️Is there anyone out there who has always wanted to take a teacher training course but just haven’t had the time or ability to travel? Or are you currently in a position where you want to use this time to focus on continuing education and personal development? *
*
We have some exciting news to share... we’ve just launched our new Remote Teacher Training Course, starting June 2020! Registration opens May 20th (6am GMT) and is on a first come first served basis. *
*
Paper Doll Militia’s 40 hour Remote Teacher Training Course is a comprehensive and fully interactive training that you can do at home or a private access studio. We are fully committed to upholding the quality and integrity of our in-person training, and have designed a course that integrates online educational materials, physical instruction & group practice. This is not a ‘work by yourself’ training. Instead, this is an instructor led training that includes group instruction, individualized feedback and lifetime access to over 130 recorded reference videos and other course materials. Important: At this point in time we are only able to offer this training to those who have SAFE access to aerial rigging. *

This photo taken from "Rise" a production choreographed by Sarah Bebe Holmes with an emerging and semi-prefessional aerial ensemble. *

The tension in this image is fantastic. It shows a variety of perspective and clashing viewpoints. Each character is having a different experience here. You can see one is looking down, intent on the task at hand, one is being playful and free-spirited and one appears to be standing back and judging the others. In aerial theatre this makes for a great scene, because we can all relate to that kind of tension in our own lives. We have all been these different characters at one point or another. *
*
We think it's really interesting how the whole world is having a shared experience right now, there is something truly unifying in that. However, simultaneously, there are a lot of contrasting perspectives on how matters at hand. Who decides what is ESSENTIAL? *
*
We are aiming to find ease with a variety of perspective. Recognizing that it's this difference in perspective that brings discourse which can be harnessed into growth and a deeper understanding. Theatre builds empathy, because the viewer can put ourselves into another's shoes, if just for a moment, and potentially look at something from a different angle than before.
