Module 3 and Me

 

I wrote a post at the start of Module 2 describing how confused and overwhelmed I felt. I was hoping that at the start of Module 3 I would feel a bit more in control, but that isn’t the case. I wasn’t particularly happy with my Module 2 results, so I thought maybe this module I could try a new approach. I’ve been re-reading all my submissions and going over my feedback and inquiry plan, desperately trying to feel more in control of everything. 

 

The issue is, the very nature of data collection, and of a career in the professional dance industry, is that it’s unpredictable. There’s only so much you can control and hold on to. Even in class, as much as you try to be in complete control of your body, some movement needs relaxation and surrender to truly work. Not to mention the many ‘happy accidents’ through error and losing control that result in movement you never would have discovered otherwise. 

 

This module I am going to try a different approach. I’ll still try to be as prepared and organised as possible, but instead of trying to control every detail, I’m going to surrender to whatever needs to happen. Maybe this way I’ll discover new avenues and opinions on my inquiry topic that I had never previously considered, and hopefully learn something new and useful in the process.
