Hi there, I am looking for some social skills advice. I’ve been working remotely for so long that I noticed my social skills have seen a severe decline in my latest in person team events (eg I zone out unexpectedly, not really sure what to say at times, the usual zoom habits that aren’t obvious through zoom, etc). Any tips on how to recover from this quickly?

Came back to school in August with a cruise ship still sitting on my stage. We walked away from Anything Goes the day after the sitzprobe because of the quarantine. Still taking the wind out of my sails.

We are here now, but not able to stage shows. Logic says, "Do a radio show!" Just not sure I want to subject the kids to the emptiness of that performance style given the Zoom life they've been living. The production of it could be fun though.

Thoughts?
