Sunday am conversations

Some great joined-up conversations in the first skype discussion group today.

We broadly talked about Transitions within our career, within our learning in different roles, Discipline and motivation of dancers in the studio, the psychology of dancers and how mental health may impact in the studio and the notion of ‘flavour’ in addition to ‘technique’ in the dance class.

What was great was the way that all of the individual conversations linked together, informed each other, made up the bigger picture of the discussion today – connections.

This MA enjoys just that basis – that we see things in connection with one another. While it is valid and necessary to discuss things separately at times, we aim through the lens of this MA, to build the discussions around the relationship between things rather than try to ‘fix’ them in any single identity.

Barbara, Brandon, Elissavet and Agata were all part of this conversation and will blog they reflections of what areas, ideas, connections were revealed for them…

This would be starting from December 2017 so if you are a Module One or Module Two student please let us know if you would like to do this. It involves being available and asking students for their thoughts about the course, how we can support the course.
