Chris Elam, Artistic Director of Misnomer Dance Theater, has spoken at several classes remotely through Skype.  This has been a really fun way to be able to connect with students, in the US as well as abroad, that wouldn’t have otherwise been possible.

Tips & Things We Learned:

• Make sure that the content you want to share is able to be communicated through the medium of Skype.  
• Practice your presentation with a colleague or a friend (or your Community Manager!) to smooth out the process.  Especially if you are sharing a slide show, video, or any other media.
• A virtual experience isn’t a substitute for an in-person visit but it does allow you to teach without having to travel.  It’s a great and affordable way to reach students and fans far away.
