Danni Austen: Skype session, Ethics Form, HELP.

Skype session, Ethics Form, HELP.

This morning we had a skype session with Adesola, Bethany, Jess, Kayleigh, Lara and Peter and it was really good to just talk. I had a few queries regarding the Ethics form, for example, the question of 'have your participants been given information about the aims process, risks......' I can choose Yes, No or N/A. So what do I tick at this point in time? At first I ticked yes sort of pre emting that fact that I will when that time comes, however that means I'm technically telling lies right now which isn't ethical 😜. So then I ticked No with the explanation that I will do that once my inquiry has been approved. Then it was suggested maybe I put N/A, so I guess at this moment in time it is not applicable, but it will be applicable later, agggghhhhh. I settled for No, because I don't even have a plan to give participants information on, I have a draft but it's not the real thing. I don't know what are your thoughts? Yes, No, Maybe, phone a friend, 50/50???? Help. What did you put?

Hey Hun,

I had the same thoughts about some of the questions. There are things that I will do, like fully explain the inquiry to participants. However, we can't do that until we have approval? So surely we have to put 'No' for now but explain in the box that we will be putting these things in place once we have received approval?

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.....
