After nearly a year in ZOOM hibernation, there’s nothing like performing in front of a live audience.
Even face-to-face rehearsals have been refreshing for Dandenong singer-dancer Samrakshana Ram – who is taking part in the Earth Matters walking tour in Dandenong this month.
“To sit with other artists and work with them – and to not be on social media or ZOOM as we’ve lately adapted to – it was very refreshing.
“Until you’re there, you don’t realise how much you have missed it.”
Audiences also feeding on a menu of online concerts during Covid have a “crazy” pent-up hunger for live events, she says.
