Starting Module 2

This will be the first time i have written a blog since i recieved my feedback from my first module. So, i guess the best thing to start off by saying is that i am so super happy with the feedback that was given to me and definetely have noted the little things that i need to watch out for during this next module. It's all about developing and after my one to one i feel confortable going into Module 2. I have a few ideas in which i am interesting in exploring as my research propsal i just know that i need to narrow it down and follow a more specific avenue after doing some more reading. My initial idea was looking into the idea of furthering the understanding of the impact of self-image before a dance audition. This interests me as i am currently auditioning so i know exactly how self-image can potenially impact an entire audition and the effects that it can have in the audition room. After researching i can think about how i personally approach an audition in terms of mindset or phyicality and how affects my performance in an audition room. I found a paper by Robin Prichard (2017) where i found alot of things very interesting. he said 'the second important element in self-talk is to praise yourself, and to praise yourself for the right things. Praising yourself for the process rather than the outcome' I found this really interesting as often as dancers we get extremely caught up on just the outcome of an audition if you didnt get the job which is truely soul destorying and never really gets easier. But thinking about it we should look at the positives of maybe how far we got or how well our turns were. The week i am going to focus on deeper reading and working on the propsal inquiry.

Module Three

Module three- it's quite overwhelming and exciting entering and being a part of module three. I have just completed my interviews and transcripts. I actually thoroughly enjoyed the process and learnt so much! The next process i am a little weary of the coding and linking the things my interviewees have said however, i am very much focused and ready to go with the challenege ahead of me. I have grown and learnt so much through the process of building my project and i am excited to finally head into the final chapter. The interviews were very eye opening and interesting and i think once i put two and two together my work will flourish.

DRAFT WEEK- Module Three

This week is module three hand in for our drafts. Going into this week I am making final touches to my first draft which I feel really postiviely about. I have worked super hard on the analysis side of everything and have found it hard to juggle working full time but I know I have done the absolute best I can. The module has been very eye opening for me I feel like I have grown as a researcher and will be able to take so many things away from this. I am very much looking forward the feedback response from my mentor as to how I can improve and extend my work and knowledge further before final hand in.

Conclusions

This week I feel mixed emotions. My inquiry proposal is really coming along and its going in a great direction, I feel I am learning a lot and my research is developing at a great pace. I have completed my MORE application which is due on friday which I am very happy about. I have found this module interesting in terms of the level and amount of work due, but I am scheduling in times each week to work on this module. Whilst watching the recordings of the lectures, I think learning and looking at other peoples opinions and prespectives allows myself to venture down new and interesting avenues that I may not of thought of previously. The literterature review I find most absorbing and rewarding although it's the most difficult for me in terms of putting it on paper i find reading about the topic i have chosen intriguing and exciting.
