Deadline!

Wow, I can’t believe that I can finally say, I have submitted my Essay and Artefact into ‘Turn it in’ on Uni Hub! I feel a huge sense of relief and I feel so proud that I have managed to get all my work finished before the deadline… now for the long wait to get the results in February! 


Congratulations to the rest of the modules and to the fellow module ones; we are 1/3 of the way there!


Reflecting on the past 12 weeks, I can honestly say its flown by! I am glad that I have been able to keep up my blogs and I think I managed my time well… although the second lockdown was rather helpful for amending my essay after the feedback and creating my artefact (Grateful for that silver lining)


I am looking forward to starting module 2, it will be interesting as the first few weeks I will be working from Brasil!


A few things I have found really helpful during this module was using my blogs to present my research and ideas; I found it so handy to have it all at my finger tips when I started to piece my essay together.


I found spider diagrams a great way to get my thoughts flowing and down on paper. 


I also found myself using the ‘free writing technique’ a lot when trying to start my essay.


I believe I have started to trust the process now and I understand that everything isn’t right or wrong or black and white! There will be ‘light bulb moments’ and moments when you want to pull your hair out, but it’s all part of the journey!

    Well done Emily!! So proud of everyone for getting through the module! I think you're so right about sometimes you have lightbulb moments and sometimes you want to want to pull your hair out - but all part of the journey as you say! I think we've definitely had to give into trusting the process and it has got us to the point of actually handing work in which is amazing.
    Can't believe you'll be in Brasil starting module 2! A bit jealous hehe.
    Congrats on completing module 1! x

All Module Skype 17th and Module 2 Skype 18th Feb

Wow two skypes in two days! It’s actually been so nice to chat with everyone, firstly in the all module skype last night and again just now with the module 2 skype. It’s lovely to be reminded that we aren’t alone and that theres a lot of support and amasing ideas to be shared… Something I know I personally need to look into more is ethics and from learning about module 2 already it’s unavoidable to not think about them whilst planning our inquiries. A lovely module 3 student broke down ‘Ethical Considerations’ and ‘Ethical Procedures’ to us in such a simple way that I found so helpful. Ethical Considerations - Things that will be affected / consequences of actions Ethical Procedures - Things that are put into place to avoid a negative impact / or harm Helen said to think about the ethics in our inquiry and what procedures we can put into place to avoid any negative impacts. However that be said, she said, we can only plan so much and that we always have to accept an amount of uncert...

Transferable Skills

Transferable skills As I have been delving into the world of ‘what is my practise’ I thought I would dedicate a blog to ‘Transferable skills’…to what I am doing during the year of 2020… the Covid- 19 pandemic… I should have spent this year cruising around the Caribbean, being a beach bum and performing some dreamy shows! However my world came crashing down on March 23rd, when I had to debark the beautiful Freedom of the seas, fly home from Barbados and wave goodbye to my wonderful cast! With no clue that 6 months later I would still be home… After I’d say, about 2 and a half months of grieving, netflix, home workouts and many wine bottles later, I thought it was time that I came back to reality and got a job… a normal job… This has fortunately been the first normal job I’ve had to get in about 5 years and the thought of it filled me with anxiety and dread. Anyway, cut to point, I am now working in a pub / waitressing / bar work / cleaning / making deserts, you name it! But ‘hey ho’ I d...

My topic of research is focussed on body image and social media. I found this so interesting and wanted to share it on my blog.... Loose Women Body Stories Campaign  I am posting this blog in module 3, however I wrote this during my hotel quarantine after coming home from red list Brasil on the 17th of May 2021. Since choosing my topic of ‘How does social media effect a professional dancers body image”, with such a relevant, poignant subject in the 21st century with the boom and obsession with social media I am regularly seeing articles and information all the time about social media, editing photos and body image. Which is highlighting how big of an issue in the 21st century this is becoming!   The campaign poster shows all the loose women looking happy and confident in their natural bodies in various swimming costumes and bikinis, showing diversity and inclusion. Its what I would describe a ‘real’ looking photo.   Plymouth Live, 2021. Loose Women Body Stories Campaign ....
