Skype 26/02/20 - Communication

I'm finding keeping up with the Blogs so much harder this unit. This unit is a real time consuming monster! I've been around in circles so many times but still seem so far away from where I feel I need to be.



There were many discussions in this Skype but the overriding points I found for me were:

-Why/How does this relate to me? How will this help my practice? 
-Communication


I'm working on two ideas at the moment as I am still struggling to settle

1. Female stereotypes- possibly within Shakespeare
2. The choreography process

I have made some small progress with a literature review..finally. But the problem is moving forward the question does need defining in order to know how to conduct the research.... I'm struggling to narrow ideas down because I have very little communication within our BAPP group and even just talking ideas through can be really helpful. This was also the overriding feature of the Student Voice discussion. That little community between us currently exists.

Following the Skype a number of us stayed on to continue talks further and whilst a lot of this was just confessing that no-one knows, there was the start of a sense of community. Moving forward from this I think once we've all admitted were stuck, if we can try to help each other out to move forward, there could and should be benefits for all. I know I am going to make much more of an effort now to engage with you all... Beware !

A side note- there is now a closed facebook group "BA PP Community facebook"
Please, If your a member of the course feel free to add yourself to this group (I've added everyone I already know which is so few). The page will hopefully help to create a more instant community less formal structure. (This does NOT replace the need for Blogging)

    1. Hi Alison, of course I can add you. Would you mind emailing me a link to your facebook as I've just done a search and theres quite a few people with the same name coming up. My mdx email is... LT534@live.mdx.ac.uk

      Also I will send you an invite on skype and then add you to the MORE skype chat as it was recorded and reposted in that group so you should then be able to access the whole thing.

      Hope that helps :)
