Read https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layers and play around with layers. (But your example doesn’t need layers at all.)

Here’s an example of the drop shadow: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Drop_shadows

Also, there’s a number of presentation styles in the distribution. The wiki page https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Presentation_Styles is outdated but might give you some hints. Feel free to update it.

Agreed. I find that all beamer presentations look the same and it can be difficult to change the look and feel of beamer presentations.

Wow! This is very useful, thanks a lot!!

I also extensively use layers for absolute placement of content, which is more powerful than the simple two columns which beamer provides.
