Audiences on Zoom, like audiences anywhere else, like to be acknowledged. They like to be "seen". If you can't literally see into their eyes, there are other ways to acknowledge them. 

This episode features a short highlight from a recent online workshop in which I challenged individuals to "see" each other.  I'm indebted to Keith Johnstone, author of Impro, who first taught me this exercise.
