Skype Session Module 3


We have just finished our Skype meeting about analysis and synthesis.

Thank you Maria, this was very informative.
Thank you everyone for your input on my topic, it was extremely helpful.
I'm now going to go away and look at more literature including 'Dancers talking dance' and try to find some patterns to start triangulating data. I intend to use my field work opinions as a bonus and concentrate more on the patterns found in my literature, I will now also start to look at the patterns in the silences, where no literature is found. This was a very interesting topic as I'd never thought that people not talking about something was as eye opening as lots of people talking about the same subject.
There was an interesting point made about how different countries perceive audiences and also how audience members in different countries perceive performance. Maybe this is something I can look into.
I was pleased to find out that my framework can evolve as my research progresses because at this moment it is very broad, I am confident this is achievable because I went through something similar in Module 2 when trying to pin point a research topic.
I am excited to get started with my focus groups and questionnaires and also looking forward to hearing about everyone else's topics and how they are getting on throughout this module. This Skype meeting has made me feel a lot more at ease, knowing that everyone is in the same boat and we can help each other to achieve our goals.
Please let me know if you want to discuss any of your topics, I'll be willing to help or at least lend an ear if you need to talk something through.

The Start of Something New

This is my first ever blog post so hopefully it will be a success... My name is Lisa and I am currently performing in the West End Show, 42nd Street.  This week, I have started my Professional Practice in Dance (Specialisation) MA and had my first group Skype session, last Friday. I was apprehensive as to what this new venture would entail and didn't really have a clue what to expect. The Skype meeting was very useful and helped to calm my nerves considerably, having not done anything academic for a very, very long time. The conversation involved students who were at different stages of the course. Some that had completed module 1 and some that had completed 1 and 2. This turned out to be very informative as they were able to give tips on what to expect and said it was perfectly normal to feel apprehensive and overwhelmed at the beginning and it would all make sense as Module 1 unfolded. It was also refreshing to hear that quite a few of them had not studied academically for a ...

A Busy Couple of weeks.

So it's been a busy couple of weeks for me but I feel it has also been a bit of a learning curve! We had a cast change at 42nd Street. Half of our old cast have left and moved on to other things and we have 22 new members of the company. I have also taken on board an extra understudy responsibility but more about that later. The new cast members all seem so lovely and have fitted in to the 42nd Street family with no fuss at all. We were doubling up, doing rehearsals during the day, for the cast change and still doing the show at night, so it was a tiring time but exciting too. Not surprisingly, this hectic schedule took its toll on the existing cast members which resulted in me having to take on a role in the show, that I don't even cover, one day after the new company's first performance. I played this particular part, the role of Phyllis, for 6 shows and there was a lot of pressure on my shoulders, to do a good job at a part I wasn't supposed to know. I definitely l...

The Start of a New Term

Our welcome back Skype meeting on Sunday was very informative and has got me excited for what this new term and module will bring. I am looking forward to getting stuck into module 2 and starting some research. I found the screen sharing and unihub walk through incredibly informative, as I have found the site pretty confusing in the past. I am looking forward to using the online library resources and am also planning to utilise my blog and read others blogs more often this term. Adesola explained that there is a link on her blog page that you can click and you subscribe, so therefore, get an email every time she posts. This is extremely, helpful as I have quite a busy working life and find I miss blog posts quite often. Now I will never miss anything and will be up to date with new announcements and articles. I plan on posting some of the interesting articles I found during Module 1, because hopefully they might benefit other people as much as they did me. Looking forward to chatt...
