Gov Raimondo, as well as Rep Cicilline announced a couple of days ago that
a part of the federal stimulus money will go to people working the gig
economy. No matter what they're receiving from unemployment, they will also
receive an extra $600 per week, so our
Jonathan's list of precondtions for reopening - basically, lots of quick cheap
testing, easy availability of hand sanitizer, temperature monitors at doors,
strict contact-tracing regime - is pretty much what I'd worked out for myself,
since I don't think we can really manage shelter-in-place
PS My noodle dance concept is 100% in jest! It's so ridiculous to even imagine
it, plus it would be resource-intensive (the world does not need more foam
swimming noodles, in my opinion), plus, as someone pointed out, it wouldn't at

One way to bring dancers and musicians back together, especially if society
begin reintegration in the hot summer months, might be to hold indoor or

beyond waiting until it seems safe to dance and continuing to reevaluate as
time passes. So
I think waiting for a vaccine is overkill. At some point, you have to let
people make up their own minds. There will be a few things to consider: 1)
At some point, restaurants, sporting events, and schools will all start
back up again. 2) Mass testing and antibody testing will become active. 3)
We are dancing via Zoom, lots of ECD dances being adapted or written for one or
two people. Using recorded music.
Is it ideal? No. But we can see each other moving and it is the best we can do.
It has been lots of fun and a wonderful way to stay connected.
We plan to keep this going until we
Hi,
One thing I'm doing which might be worth sharing: I have started a *new*
e-mail list for sending out information about virtual dances, videos, etc.
Because I think that some people will not be interested, and I don't want
those people to unsubscribe from my main group mailing list for when
Our dance organizers have not had the conversation. But here are the same
thoughts I would express to them if we had that conversation this week.
I think resumption will follow this pattern. Each organizer will make their own
individual decision about when they will be safe to help run a dance.
We can't dance without each other but we dancers have other overlapping
interests. This happened kind of organically, but myself and a few other
dancers scattered across the country started an ongoing movie night. We use
