I have now begun my essay introduction and my chosen inquiry is "What support systems are out there for independent dancers" This is very broad but my focus is particularly on those with body image struggles/eating disorders and also those with injury as a lot of thought goes into their physical well being whereas there isn't a lot that goes into their emotional and mental well being. I have chosen this as my inquiry topic as i think it would be great to understand different peoples experiences and journeys through dance, in order to help those in the future. Any ideas on what you think about this topic would be appreciated greatly Also how are you all getting on choosing which methodology's you are using to get your information be it interviews, questionnaires or any other ideas you have ? I would love to hear your ideas Oona
Hi Oona, I think the more work of scholars you read the more it all starts to create a pattern. I am finding the work of this dance scholar - Susan Stinson very helpful. While her papers are on Dance in Education, she discusses her methodologies. Here is a link to her work - https://libres.uncg.edu/ir/uncg/clist.aspx?id=1546
