I am new to starting the BA Professional Practice, Arts and Creative Industries course at Middlesex. Looking forward to starting Module one! I have completed my study plan, mapped out skype sessions and had a good browse on the UniHub page to get to grips with things. Any advice or ideas from those in Module 2 or 3 that you think may help please comment below. It will be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Sam
    I am a returning student after taking a study interruption.
    I am now back to finish module 3. I think staying on top of everything sound obvious but when your self employed is it even more important. Work can come from nowhere and if there's still lots of course work to do ... Personally after so many years in performance I am a late night person and would read blogs before bed. I found it made me think about others experience throughout the next day and helped me think about how I was going to approach the course work myself.

I am going to try your technique of reading through blogs before bed as I feel it will help a lot to stay with ontop of things and keep everything fresh even when work life is hectic!

I struggled recalling on knowledge I had learnt and how this manifests in my field of practise now. After my tutorial with Maria it became clearer to think back on an experience and not just recall that experience but focus more on the knowledge learnt from it and how it transfers to my Professional Practise now. As a self employed performer who also teaches my approach to knowledge is transdisciplinary. As more than one discipline is being used to contextualise my knowledge. Therefore when thinking of Areas of Learning I was relating to life auditioning as a professional dancer and life teaching. I came up with a few different ideas some are more vague then others.. Throughout private dance classes growing up I always danced in front of a mirror so learnt how to self correct. This was then carried through to today when I attend auditions to watc...

Presentation!

I have been reflecting on my inquiry process while making my artefact and thinking of the best way to present it. Has anyone else had any thoughts on their presentation and how they are going to fit 12 weeks of work into a concise explanation? I think because my line of inquiry has interested me so much I could talk about it for hours but that's no good! I do look forward to hearing about everyone else's inquiries though! Comment below if you have been thinking about your presentation too. Sam x
