I joined an online magic show (🙌
@leahculver
!), and it was super fun, in large part bc it was very interactive! Got me thinking about virtual performance media. People do concerts on Zoom, but they're not very interactive—could be on YT. What other forms make good virtual shows?

If latency weren't awful, maybe an improv show could work well? You could get audience members involved if you were careful about the kinds of interactions you set up.

Update: attended The Second City's Zoom improv show tonight, and it was great! Fascinating to watch them develop techniques to make it work in a high-latency context. They used scenes with fewer back-and-forths between actors, less needing to "jump on" a moment.
