Starting Module 4

Starting Module 4

Well, May feels like ages ago. It is now October. I am back at sea and back into study. I have read reader 4 and feel as lost as ever all over again. I am trying to not look too far into it and just tackle it a small bite at a time. That is how I got through module one. To look at it as a whole I find really daunting and almost impossible. I am finding difficult to focus my mind on the task in hand, I read something that triggers an idea and my mind is off rummaging through lots of different ideas whilst my eyes are still reading however my brain is paying no attention and before I know it I have read a whole paragraph but have no idea what it has said. It is so frustrating. So where am I to start with this inquiry? The reader says we need to learn about what we are doing it whilst we are doing it! (Reader 4 Middlesex University 2011). So what are we doing? ALLSORTS. The reader will show us the way, follow the reader reader reader, follow the reader! And all will come clear. (I hope).

Amen to everything you have written above Danni!!! How many times I have read the SAME paragraph and realised it hasn't gone it - i have lost count haha!!! I'm going to take your advice and "follow the reader". Lets keep sharing ideas when you have time at sea :)

I am a professional dancer, I started to dance at the tender age of two and a half. I worked my way through the ISTD exams and performed in lots of shows like many kids do but by the age of 15 I knew that performing was what I wanted to do for a career. I know this probably sounds really cheesy, but dancing really is in my blood, I can't keep still, if there is music playing, I will dance! I dance around Asda (when no one is looking obviously) I can't help it, I tap my feet whilst waiting in line or at the train station. Other fellow dancers will know exactly what I mean, the urge to dance is sometimes unstoppable. Anyway, I trained at Kate Simmons School of dance where I did my full time 3 year professional dance training, I studied Cechetti Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, pas de deux, tap and flamenco. I graduated with a level 6 NQF National diploma in professional dance from Trinity College London, I also obtained my Advanced 2 certificate in ballet, tap and modern as well as my Cecchetti Ballet teaching qualification.In 2006 I got my first ever professional job as a dancer with The Stadium Theatre Company who provided the big production shows for some of the P&O Fleet. I did a few contracts with them then went on to get further contracts with Headliners Theatre Company who also provide shows for the P&O fleet. All in all I have spent the best part of 5 years at sea and loved every minute of it. I have been so lucky, I have managed to travel most of the world whilst doing a job I love, performing in some spectacular shows and wearing some fabulous costumes. Now I feel it is time to see where else this career can take me hence why I am now studying for the BAPP at Middlesex University with the hope it can open more doors and lead to new horizons. Let the next chapter begin.....
