Module 3- Brainstorming ideas for my practice based artefact.

The dictionary defines an artefact as "any object made by human beings, especially with a view of subsequent use."

This task is an opportunity to graphically, visually or write an artefact mapping my practice based inquiry. 

I have been exploring images correlating to my practice based inquiry title.

Transition from a dancer to a dance captain is a focus topic.
*I thought of the image 'passing a baton' like relay racers representing a passing of information and a change of movement.
* 'Jumping over a river/gap' the image of being half way or passing from one ground to another for me represents a leap for change.
*the theory of evolution shown as a monkey to a human or a child to an adult
*Train tracks reaching a merge point.

I believe using a picture or a artwork is the best way to present my inquiry because it will show the whole topic and process available to keep referring back too. Additionally I am a visual type of learner therefore using colours and shapes it is the easiest way to present my artefact and for me to understand what the inquiry has presented.

Thinking about how I will communicate this idea to submit it to the submission portal.
The options to present my artwork could be taking photos of the artefact or making a video. Based on my existing experiences and knowledge as a dancer I will use a YouTube link.Using Moviemaker I will formulate my artefact and the process of its development and upload it onto YouTube as unlisted to share the link on my essay to present my artefact.Upon reflection I have chose this method of presenting my artefact because this is a process I am familiar with when making and uploading my show-reel as a professional dancer.

    This sounds really interesting and a great way to use your creativity as a dancer. I look forward to seeing it.

Reflective Theory- Task 2c

Image
I am a methodical learner and enjoy following a organised plan step by step with a routine, I think this is shown in the way I write my blogs, plan my day and analyse reflective practice. Kolb's learning cycle allowed me to reflect on how I learn in my professional practice. In an unfamiliar situation, for example learning choreography in an audition in a style of dance outside my comfort zone, I use 'Reflective observation' watching the choreographer or other dancers auditioning doing it and learning from their movement style and using the knowledge I saw to improve myself. By contrast I enter the 'Kolb learning cycle' in 'Abstract conceptualisation' in my current job as a dancer for Tihany Spectacular. For example, walking up the stairs on the stage in heels, I work it out in my head first how will be the safest and fastest way to clime the stairs before having the concrete experience. Gardner had the idea of multiple 'lenses' of learning -

Task 1A -Professional Profile/ CV

Image
Everyone knows how important a CV is, it shows a potential employer you 'dance history' and information about your body before you even participate in the dance part of the audition! (this is a really scary concept for me!) Writing my CV as a Professional Profile made my evaluate my current CV very closely. Attending 2 vocational schools from the age of 11 meant I had many 'end of year performances' and 'child roles in professional companies'. Although some of these performances had respected choreographers and directors (and felt like yesterday to me)  I have come to realise that these shows were still part of my training and not my 'Professional Performances and Employment' I have now also formed 2 separate CV's, one that I use to send for ballet/ contemporary companies and the other for cruise ship/show girl jobs. I decided to do this because the requirements and important information to list is very different for these genres of dance. I have

Reflecting on my module 2 inquiry planning process

WHAT I WISH I DID DIFFERENTLY.... 1. I wish I has started to write my practice-based inquiry essay earlier within the module. 2. Read more of the suggested reading list for a greater understanding of the advanced terminology. WHAT I NEED TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON FOR MODULE THREE... 1. I need to work on the structure of my essays- sharing my thoughts and experiences and then backing them up with a theory or theorist. 2. Reading the essay content more carefully to ensure I write along the right track. IMPROVEMENTS I HAVE MADE SINCE MODULE ONE... 1.I believe I have used my professional networks more effectively to assist my inquiry making process. 2. Citing essays was a much faster process this module.
