THE END IS APPROACHING!



THE END IS APPROACHING!


7 days and counting... I am unbelievably nervous to submit my final module as it means the difference between progressing in my qualifications and practice, or having a hinder before progressing. But I am also SO excited for the weight to be lifted off my shoulders.
I can definitely say I have learned a lot about myself since starting this course, and I actually feel a lot more confident in knowing what my practice entails.
I can now say I am not only a dancer, but I am a dancer, choreographer, performer, entertainer, who is learning about the performing arts industry so that I can make a career as a dancer. And I am thankful that this module allowed me to explore and research into an inquiry that is so important to me as I am just starting my career. It makes me excited and nervous to put my findings and new-found knowledge to test!

Anyway, just finishing up and coming to an end of my coursework made me reflect and think about the next step for me… If I pass! I hope my fellow peers can relate and if you want to chat, feel free to comment or skype me!

    I can sooo relate. I have also learnt that I am more than just a dance teacher, and that by exploring my own transdiciplinary skills have been able to now incorporate this into my teaching and give my students so much more. I am also excited about what this learning can lead me to in the future. And of course, what a feeling to finally reach the finish line. I have completed my artefact and I actually love it. And this weekend is the final push to tweak my essay. Good Luck with your final submission and I hope that we continue to share our ideas about the presentations.

What is my inquiry? What is my practice? How do they link? Why are these questions raised for me?

What is my inquiry? What is my practice? How do they link? Why are these questions raised for me? My inquiry topic is about ‘What Dance jobs and opportunities are available in the Performing Arts industry and the key factors which can impact employment ’. As my practice currently revolves around dance and performance mainly, and I am now at that point within my practice after my college training where I am auditioning for dance jobs and looking for dance opportunities. My topic links well with my practice as I always ask myself what dance jobs are available within the performing arts industry ? as I want to know what I am interested in applying and auditioning for. I also want to make sure there are jobs within the industry where I can earn enough money to support myself. This inquiry topic already stems off so many questions that I am researching into, the main ones being where can I find dance jobs and opportunities ? as it is important for me to be looking in the ...

Planning Process so far for Module 2 (Roughly)

Image
So, through creating my proposal and literature review I have extended on to what I can explore within my inquiry topic. I have also tried to refine my topic question to best fit what I want to research into so now it’s ‘What dance jobs and opportunities are available within the performing industry’ it may still need tweeking but that’s it for now. To help keep my work clear to me and help me plan exactly what I want to do, I have created a little list of sections I want to explore, along with the discourses that relate to my topic. This is a rough guideline to my plans but when I look at this, I can see exactly what I want to explore. My inquiry topic is the first question, then I have two other questions which follow on from the inquiry topic that I feel I need to explore as they branch off my main topic, these are my discourses so far. All 3 of these questions I feel link together and will benefit me to develop my practice and prepare me for the dance industry. ...

BASE CAMP - BRIDGE TO THE INDUSTRY - 5/8/19

My Commercial Industry Day Experience Recently I had the opportunity to attend an industry day at Base Dance Studio in London. This day consisted of 4 commercial classes all 1.5hrs long taught by 4 different teachers. Liam Lunniss, Josh Wharmby, Lisa Spencer & Josh Pilmore. These teachers are well known for their choreography and abilities to dance and have had experience within the dance industry and still are working within the dance industry. Along with these 4 classes we also had a Q&A session at the end of the day with agency Simon & How associates, where we are able to ask questions about their agency and the industry. Upon arrival at the studio we were welcomed and needed to sign in our names and make sure we had emailed our headshots and CV to the email address stated. I thought this was such a good idea as the agency were watching our final class so it gave us the opportunity to be spotted and having our CV and headshots alre...
