My First Blog

 

Hello everybody! 

I have finally figured out how to create my blog (I am a little bit of a technophobe!) I have been so nervous to write a blog as it was completely out of my comfort zone. But, after taking a look at other students blogs it has made me realise that there is no right or wrong as we all have our own individual thoughts and feelings. 

I really enjoyed the first induction zoom last week, it was so great to hear everybody's backgrounds and being surrounded by ambitious people. I especially enjoyed the feedback and advice from the students in module 2 and 3. It was great to get their advice and it was so reassuring that they were once equally as overwhelmed as I am. 

The BAPP course sounds really interesting and I am so eager and excited to get stuck in and explore deeper into my practice. I have danced since the age of 2, it has always been a massive part of my life and I'm now excited to reflect different aspects of the practice. 

During the induction, we briefly covered what each module covers: 

1- Establishing my practice and making sense of what I have learnt from it. 

2- What curiosity I have and what I'd like to explore further.

3- Carrying out the research and exploring it further. 

We also covered the three pillars of learning and the support that we receive during our studies. 

1- Middlesex University. Including the UniHub, handbooks, library and student union.

2- Supervisor. For Discussions, guidance and help with drafts of work.

3- Other Students. The community in which we build through blogging and airing thoughts. 

I do still feel a little apprehensive, but I am excited to get started and I'm sure in the next few weeks everything with become a lot clearer and start to take shape.
