How does one still create a sense of community during the Covid19 pandemic? Many organizations, like universities, parks and recreations and businesses, are coming up with creative ways to host outdoor movie events while still being safe and entertaining.
Socially Distant Outdoor Movie Night
Having an outdoor cinema still allows people to have a sense of coming and being together and having somewhat of human contact whiles still being socially distant from one another. Planning begins with event organizers using large available outdoor spaces such as parks, sports fields, and open fields that allow space for social distancing to host outdoor movie nights safely.
Maintaining 6 Feet Between Movie Watchers
Here are some fun ideas listed below on how to set up the viewing area of an outdoor movie event that maintains a six-foot distance between movie watchers.
1.Blankets
Blankets are fun and easy way to mark off viewing spots. The size of the blanket can help limit the number of people in one small location.
2.Hula-hoops
Events at Universities and Colleges need to caterer their seating area for single viewers instead of groups. Hula-hoops are great for individual seating at events. The hula-hoops can be wiped down after the event with little problems.
3.Spray Chalk
When doing an event catering to family’s spray-painting large circles or squares of chalk are a splendid and creative way to safely fallow the guidelines set forth about dealing with the spread of Covid-19.
4.Large Screens
Social distancing seating will require a the use of large inflatable movie screens so everyone can see without the need to move closer.
No one for sure can tell if we will ever return to normal or what the new normal will be for sure. During this pandemic, we believe the power of entertainment is needed. What we can do now is work together with what the local guidelines are while still creating a sense of community and togetherness.
