The (almost) final hurdle

 I know I'm jumping the gun a little with my blog title as I know we still have our VIVA presentations to do in January however I am starting this week feeling rather positive about the submission due on Friday!

My essay is complete, I just need to get the word count down now by taking out some of my waffling, although this seems like a difficult task I am grateful to be in a position this week where I have too much as opposed to not enough!

I have also finished the creation of my artefact, there were lots of little pieces to organise and now it is just a case of putting them altogether in a video presentation. Originally I was going to accompany my video with text but I know myself I sometimes switch off if there is too much to read so instead I am going to attempt to record a voice over to go with it! I am extremely nervous about this because as much as I love to talk I actually hate the sound of my own voice and I know it's going to take me multiple takes before I get one I am even remotely happy with!

I've actually enjoyed module 3 the most out of all the modules, I really enjoyed the practical side of doing my inquiry and I feel I have learnt so much about myself alongside my chosen topic.

5 more days to go and then its (almost) all over, I'm really looking forward to watching everyones presentations and hearing about their experiences! It feels like we've been on this journey together forever!

Good luck everyone!

    Hi Georgina,
    Thanks for taking the time to read my blog too!
    Congratulations on finding yourself near the finish line :) I'm in the same position as you too - got to get the word count down and do a voice over for my artifact. I have just been working on the 'script' for it. I have to say though I am a bit lost as to how much to do. I know it's indicative of 2500 words but I don't know if I commented over the recording of my artifact, 2500 words will be too much!? But on the other hand I want it to be understood, as just seeing it digitally is not going to be like viewing it in the flesh. Don't know what your thoughts are on that? So I'm close to the end but I know getting this recording right and doing all the fiddly technical bits to do with the video are going to take me time...eeeeek!
    Good luck to you xx

Over and out... for now

 I can't even explain the overwhelming sense of accomplishment I feel after completing my presentation this morning but this photo of me in NZ from 2019 pretty much sums it up!! Firstly a huge well done to Jen, Olivia, Clare, Shelley, Katie, Roanne, Alys, Chloe and Olivia for your presentations. I feel like I have learnt so much from your short presentations alone and the information and ideas you shared were enriching and have given me even more to think about in regards to our wider industry! The journey I have been on throughout the BAPP course has definitely had its ups and downs and on more than one occasion I felt like giving up because I didn't know if I was on the right track or not. My advice to anyone in Module 2, Module 1 or even people considering the BAPP course is to try your best to be open minded to the experience and accept that there really is never a right or wrong answer. Reflecting on my journey has highlighted just how much I have grown as both a practitio...

Is blogging something you can be good or not so good at?

Having never blogged or even considering blogging before I wasn't entirely sure if I was going to be any good at it. - Is blogging something you can be good or not so good at?  - Do people actually want to listen to my ramblings?  - What if I struggle for something to say?  Well I think it's safe to say question 3 isn't going to be too big of a problem, but in all seriousness, what if people don't like my thoughts or the ideas that I am going to blog about? This was a huge deal for me... for all of 5 minutes, and then I realised It doesn't matter! This is going to be my safe space, where I can put out into the world what I'm thinking and connect with others whether they are like-minded or share different views entirely. It's going to be a space for me to grow and learn about myself, about others and about my profession in ways that will challenge me, but that will also reward me. Besides I love talking, more than anything, and blogging is basically thinking ...

Data collecting - what now?

After what felt like a never ending process I have finished collecting data in the form of interviews and like all things BAPP related I feel like I have more questions than I do answers...  Usually this would leave me on the verge of a breakdown however I am taking this feeling in my stride, my approach to learning has changed over the course of the BAPP programme and I know that there is no black or white answer, every line of inquiry in this course is always going to leave me with more questions. Although I tried my absolute hardest to go into this inquiry without any assumptions it was going to be near impossible, after all, I chose the topic of inquiry so I must have had some pre existing thoughts or feelings towards my inquiry focus which was 'does career transition exist in dance?' I did however make several observations during my interview that as I delve into the literature further could evolve into potential themes… Injury    Job sustainability/Consistent employ...
