Today i attended the 12:30 call with Adesola and Helen. We discussed in the call the meaning of our 'practice' and what makes up our practice. An important thing we discussed is how your practice is ever changing and it will not stay the same throughout your career. For example you may start out as a dancer and then over time your practice may change to a dance teacher. A transition that is important is that from collage to the professional industry. The transition from how teachers at school perceive you to how you are perceived in the industry as a professional, your self image is an important part of being a professional on social media. Your social media and all forms of web 2.0 are vital for self promotion and how you're perceived as a professional. It is important to understand what you're practice is as a professional this links into self promotion as when people ask what you're practice is for example if you say you're a dancer then people will link you to other dancers this is all part of networking and promoting yourself. This past week i have been looking through the module handbook and making notes on each lens i have done lens 1 notes and am now partially through lens 2 notes. I have also been doing a spider diagram of my practice and what that involves such as going to class, going to rehearsals, networking, auditioning, keeping active, watching shows and researching looking for inspiration. This week i plan to finish my notes on the lenses and start thinking about what i am going to include in my diagram ready for the deadline in December.
Hello my name is Oona Thompson welcome to my blog After yesterdays Skype call I found it very helpful in giving me an overview of the course. I have gathered a greater understanding of the degree and what I should expect over the next term. I learnt on uni hub when I log in you can go to "my learning" and then "BAPP" in this you can see your module handbook which I have since been reading through. I have also looked at the academic calendar and looking at the dates putting the dates of the Skype calls in my calendar so I can work around it. We were told by Helen on the call the deadline for any work is the 17th of December which is an important date in my calendar insuring I am organised and can plan up to that date. I have looked at the reading materials briefly since the call to familiarise myself with what we will be studying. I was told about filling out a study plan which I have since completed and sent back as we were told we will use in our first one to...
