Inquiry

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

Theoretical concept- collective intelligence

We are all able to create discussion/ debate via comments and get involved with what we each are doing to progress with our studies. We use our “collective intelligence” to help reflect on the process of the course, we don’t all have to agree or be doing the same thing we are just communicating our own ideas.

We don’t all have equal access to the internet and therefore connectivity for some is more accessible for some than others. I think the internet comes with certain assumptions that swamps some cultures for example I think generally people assume that the older generation are very behind w...
Methodology/ Methods Upon reading the module handbook i havent yet come to terms with the difference between methodology and method , has anybody else found this and if so please comment below your ideas
Today's Skype tutorial with Adesola (one to one) was very helpful. I have now got an idea of where to start on this new beginning of the course. From now i will re read the module one handbook and then get a clear timetable and figure out what Skype calls i plan to addend this term. Another thing i can think more in depth about is my "practice" and how i would describe what i do. In response to Adesola's blog one new beginning i can think of is when i did my first professional job at The Roundhouse, London. I remember feeling a shift from doing shows at school to being treated as a professional. This was a big moment as it is what all those years of training were building up to and it felt like a completely new beginning into not only being a professional but into adulthood. New beginnings can be scary as it is entering into the world of the unknown, in relation to this degree we have entered into the unknown but as we have now started i have already learnt so many ne...
