Submission and presentation planning

I have just submitted my artefact and essay I am overjoyed! Early... I know but I only had 2 free windows with reliable WiFi, today (4th) and as a back up Monday before the 10th deadline.

I had a tutorial today with Helen she expressed that my explanation for my artefact was too long and that it should only consist of a small paragraph and the artefact should be self explanatory. So I had to do a last minute rewrite and just have confidence that my dance / choreography is self explanatory! 

I also asked a few questions with regards to the presentations in January.

Obviously we have to explain our topic of inquiry and then what we did during our project. 

Helen said to mostly talk about what we have learnt as that's the main aim for these presentations. 

It's good to speak about what will happen next and how we plan on developing our practice in the future too. 

We will show our artefact during the presentation. 

Helen said we should be talking for 20 minutes. If we don't quite speak for that long she said there will be more of a chance  that the tutors will question us, so it's better to speak for longer! 

Helen said that this is more of a chance to question people where they feel there is a gap in their research project or to ask students they haven't spoken to much over this term to find out more about their Inquiry and what they have been doing. 

Hope this helps!

    Hi Emily,

    Thanks so much for posting this - I've just been having a mild panic about my artifact as it's complete but I was writing a script to record over a video of it explaining it. So now I know I have written way too much!!! I know it's indicative of 2500 words so I had been working towards that. Wow so I can cut nearly everything out and save alot of it for my presentation I think.
    Thank you again for posting this.
    Just getting my word count down now too for my essay. Think I'll be finished on Thursday with the final version. Well done for getting it completed and early too! Looking forward to your presentation.
    Lauren xx

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...

Welcome back! Welcome to Module 2!

I am excited to get my head stuck into some books again and continue this journey! A lot has happened in my life recently and I am now living in Brasil until May, so I will be doing this whole module here! I need to be extra organised and get my head around the time zones for all our BAPP skypes. So far from talking to peers on the course and looking over the handbook I feel like I am back at the beginning and it all feels so daunting again! I felt like this at the start of module 1 and we all managed to get through that… so I am sure we will conquer this too! Tonights welcome back Skype I felt was a great way to get my head back into ‘uni-mode’ and it was lovely to see everyone again and of course welcome the module 1s onto the course.  Helen made some great points about just delving into the course and yourself as an artist. She spoke about how some of us may feel distant because of the current pandemic, which is something I really resonate with. It’s coming up to a year since I ...

Down the rabbit hole...

Today I fell down the rabbit hole of the internet…. After my 1-2-1 with my supervisor, I have decided that my inquiry will somewhat be about ‘Dancers body image’, something I am sure many of us have questioned or experienced in our dancing life. I am still unsure about what my specific focus or ‘question’, ‘title’ will be yet, as it’s such a broad subject, but after reading article after article, ‘social media’ particularly ‘instagram’ kept creeping into the more up to date information out there… We all do it, (or I applaud you if you don’t), scroll through instagram daily and sometimes forget about the fact that people use photoshop and other editing apps, the “influencers” hire professional photographers for their staged photoshoots and the majority of the time people only post the ‘good stuff’. However, on the other hand throughout my reading session It was refreshing to see some of those blue ticked Insta pages and renown professional dancers, were calling out the crap and bein...
