Questionnaire now live

I have distributed my questionnaire and now feel slightly uneasy that the data collection is out of my hands for this method. I like the control of looking at existing literature and reflecting on my own experiences in a journal but I can't handle just letting that link to my questionnaire fly out there and just hope that someone responds! I have made considerations for this so I know I will get respondents having planned this into my inquiry in Module 2 but it's just the thought of no limited data that scares me!

I guess I am also mindful of ethical considerations, of how people may react to the questionnaire, how they perceive the questions and how this may make them question themselves. This deeper questioning does sometimes lead to overthinking. I will just have to try and put my mind at ease and know it is okay to be uncertain!

I have found it really interesting looking into ethics within the performance industry but being new to teaching I'm finding it more difficult in that discipline.

Recently I was offered a job performing in small shows over Christmas but with almost 3 weeks of unpaid rehearsals. It was an offer I would have loved to have taken up but unfortunately I'm not in a

Skype Call - The Ways Ideas can be Communicated

The skype call on Monday the 2nd of December was called 'The Ways Ideas' can be Communicated', the discussion focused mainly around artefacts. We each discussed our artefact, how these related to our inquiry and the process we have been through. It was really interesting listening to other peoples ideas on how they were creating their artefact. A valuable point was raised by Dr Adesola Akinleye; things inform one another. She asked us to reflect upon this, had anyone's artefact influenced their essay and vice versa? My essay has certainly influenced my artefact but my artefact is yet to inspire a change in my essay. It is definitely something I will now be mindful of when completing my artefact. Another key point I took from the skype call was not to use a narrative as such but to let the artefact speak for itself. I have to make it clear enough so that my inquiry process can be seen when observing it and yet feel comfortable with what I have produced without over-e
