Module 2

Module 2 campus was very exciting to find out what we need to do next.

I have an idea of what I want to base my inquiry around, not to sure about where to begin but I might start by approaching my secondary school.

Hi everyone hope you had a great Christmas sorry I haven't blogged much been so busy.

An Extract from my journal

• Dear dairy today is Friday the 18th of November 2011 and it's been pretty bad I had a recall for the Olympic Opening Ceremony only when I got there I asked where the recalls were been held and was told there wasn't any yet they hadn't made a decision yet so I was not to pleased about that, so I left then phoned my agent to have a moan and she told me they wanted to see me dance again but by the time she told me all this it was to late the audition had already started and to make it worse I had taken the day off work and paid to get up to London, sorry to burden you dairy I guess I will have a better day tommorow :(

• Dear Diary today is Saturday the 19th and I PASSED MY DRIVING EXAM YAY CELEBRATION TIME!!!!!

• Dear dairy today is Tuesday the 22nd I have just got in from a dance class, I went an hour before the class to have a stretch but ended up watching the baby ballet class going on, and has made me think about a career change. I have always loved working with young people and what better way of expressing myself through Dance then by teaching it, It's always been a huge part of my life (and I'm good at it sometimes) so why not look into becoming a Dance teacher, It makes a lot more sense then keep dragging myself to auditions and waitressing all the time. Diary I'm glad I had a better day then the previous days.

Task 2b: Reflective Writing

Through out the process of writing my journal I doubt I would have written as in-depth as I have done after reading through the Module on this task as it has made me look more into what happened then just writing the main events, I feel going through the journal critically has opened avenue's for more emotions and views.
Breaking it down and maybe taking a step back and trying to see my life through something or somebody else's eyes.

This is a great way of seeing how you as a performer may work best, personally I work better with Active Experimentation as I'm a get up and go kinda girl but that may not work for everyone else, we all need to find our ways of working best also I like to Reflect and Observe too because in looking back and observing previous work or events will change the way you think and feel, making you reflect on what happened and improving it,

On this task I felt obliged to put exactly what I felt at the time of the event's, but as time went on and then looking back at what I had written my opinions and my feelings changed dramatically, mainly referring to auditions. 




   

Task 2a: Reflective Practice

I never thought keeping a journal would be so hard, one day I will write hardly anything the next something will happen and I will write pages and pages.
My poor journal hasn't had a great start in life all it reads about at the moment is bad things, hopefully things will change this week.

I love writing especially exciting things, I have a few auditions coming up so I am hoping to be able to write great things about them, but most of all reflecting on what I have written and the thoughts and feelings I had on those days have already changed after looking back.
I will be posting a few of my entries up very soon so you get an idea of my oh so boring life (no it's not really that bad).

1b Web 2.0

My initial thoughts on Web 2.0.

Well came in on the 4th of October for our 2nd Campus session and felt like I had known everyone for ages we all seemed to just click, it was great.
When we started reading through the Reader 1 I was shocked how I didn't have the slightest clue what Web 2.0 was, but as we got further and further into the session I started to gain more understanding, and by the end my knowledge and views were clear.
I would like to state I have for's and against's on this subject.
The For's:
Social Media is such an amazing tool the things I have achieved through Web 2.0 are so great such as.
Jobs: There are millions of jobs out there and with a click of a button you can manage to attain yourself an interview.
Auditions: You don't have to pop down to your local newsagents to buy a newspaper with auditions in any more just upload your C.V and apply for auditions through sites like Spotlight, Casting Call Pro, StarNow, the list is endless 
Clothes: In the comfort of your own home you can shop for new clothes, cars, food, even pets.
Also some people find LOVE over dating sites.

The Against's :
Social Media can also cause a lot of other Problems such as:
Bullying: Through social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, BEBO, Myspace people can access personal information and cause harm to others ranging from messages of hate and even physical harm by imposing as someone else to make arrangements to meet etc..
Fraud: There are so many different sites that make you part with your money or act as someone else or a bank or building society trying to make arrangements for your money to be moved to different accounts the list goes on.

So as you can see there are good and bad side's to the Web 2.0 here is a link to 4th of October session we had and the discussions we had.
