Starting out Module 2!


I had a bit of a panic starting this module. I'd decided the topic of inquiry I'd chosen from the 1st campus session; Should professional colleges be doing more to bridge the gap between education to becoming a working professional? Was just a bit too close to home. Though I definitely think it's along the lines of an area I'd like to explore, investigate and improve, I just felt that with that particular question I'd have too many personal opinions and would find it hard to collect data from a neutral place.
I then had a brainstorm for other possible lines of inquiry, but found that I was so focused on finding an end topic that I didn't find it that helpful. So I went back to the start. Read the Reader and module handbook again and realised I was making it much too complicated for myself. To begin all I had to do was to write down a set of questions relevant to my practice... Simples!!

  • Is being a Performer a respected profession? Who by and if not why?

  • Degree or Diploma- Most Colleges now offer both, but does it make a difference in this industry?

  •  How to survive the resting period post drama school. Create some sort of helpful guide, possible book for others. 
Well there are a few aspects to my practice that I find interesting. Will see where they lead me!!
