So nice to see and re-connect with everyone on Module 1 this evening. It was really interesting to hear about all your practises and really made me think deeper into my own. Disciple= dance, acting, singing, music Practise= in a broader context I think being put on the spot and having to articulate my practise suddenly there and then was initially daunting, but has definitely helped me. After focusing my research on different theories in the lens' during the past few weeks it was helpful to be brought back to the pinnacle question of ' What is my practise?' Im going to explore these further: The transition of Dancer to Dance Captain (what skills, knowledge and personality traits make up that transition) How I am networking with creatives I aspire to work with Helen reminded us all that unpicking our practise is a process and our practise is not a definitive thing. We discussed the idea that as performers we seem to have the 'Interpersonal' Mult...
Where am I at in my study? This week has been centred on gathering all my notes, research and thoughts and understanding which areas I need to focus on. Since starting the module I have read and re-read the handbook SO many times, but after doing it again the past few days I'm honing in on details I perhaps missed the times before! I've prioritised re-reading exerts from books and journals from the Reading List and Bibliography in the Handbook and highlighting more quotes from theorists to add depth to my essay. I'm exploring how 'being adaptable' has existed and still exists in my practise. Adapting to Ship Life was an experience which I had to suddenly adapt to multiple circumstances; a new routine, confined living space, less freedom, resilience to having long distance relationships with my support network. Most importantly I adjusted to all these personal changes whilst travelling. I am going to focus on cross cultural communication and how I adapted my communi...
I'm educating myself on 'Journal Practise' as a Reflective Practise and have found that I'm connecting with it so much and wanted to discuss it with you all. Journalling is essentially a 'reflective tool'. In the Module 1 Handbook it describes it as a way to develop and continue to learn whilst in a professional field. I've started reading Moon, J.A (2006) Learning Journals: A Handbook for Reflective Practise and Professional Development' this book has been so valuable and has added so much depth to my learning. "Many of the tools for personal development planning are in effect, highly structured journals" Moon, J.A (2006) How important is journalling within my practise? Throughout my professional training we were always advised to take notes. At my college we were trained with disciple and taught professional etiquette* from day one and had to implement this in the studio from day one too. Being taught by such renown, experienced teachers ...
