The Lockdown workshop was a success!! We had 11 active participants and they all came together to develop a piece.
Before I get into it, let me share a few things (truths).
1. I had no idea what the workshop was about. I just knew that I had to bring VerseShop vibes to the workshop. Online sessions are very new to me and I've always had a thing about live cameras. Pre-recordings are fine, but real time? WHEW! So with my nerves, anxiety and no plan - I opened the zoom call.
2. I made a few mistakes. I really wanted to record the session for attendees to view over again - and even myself. I also wanted to curate a playlist which I started doing, but completely missed the opportunity. So I will have to regather the playlist. I'm just happy that it happened. I also chose the wrong time. I have a workshop from 11-3pm on Saturday's so I had to jump out of that for the.
3. I wanna do this again! I 100% HAD FUN. It was great to get into the minds of other peoples and how they are feeling in this lockdown.
Anyway, here's the final piece we created. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I present to you
