Module 1, Session 1 (Catch up)

 Session 1 thoughts (catch up)...

Hey everyone if you were interested :)


Section 1 my object: 

For my object I chose my drumsticks. This expresses my practice as I have had to become very familiar with them in the last year and a half going from having no experience, to it being my job, I had to learn this tool as I had to for my tap shoes when I was young. I feel that I have always been a musician of sorts in the way I dance as I am very musically aware, but now transferring, going into not just reacting and embodying the music as I do In dance, but now also making it.This is a journey that I couldn't have done without my drumsticks. 


Section 2 something that resonated with me:


I really enjoyed Eve's object, I liked how economic and mutualise the keys were. I totally get how having a "muggle job" as some theatre people say. It can be great in terms of providing security and consistency but they can also take so much from us that we have nothing left to give, when it comes to doing our respective creative outlets. Recently being able to reflect on this period of my artistic life I do think it makes you better in your art form to struggle with this, as I feel it teaches you motivation in a very fundamental way that you don't loose regardless of if your working or not. I also enjoyed the funny realisation of how working in a pub makes you act very day. 


Section 3 final reflections:

I loved listening to everyones objects and learning more about the people around me. I also surprised myself a little in terms of what actually is my most current object when it comes to my art form, as I would have not otherwise realised that this is what I have been devoting most of my time to lately, which makes me want to try and do other art forms this week as I like to keep my range large.

"professional athletes are generally less motivated by mood enhancement and intrinsic factors (such as exercising for pleasure and satisfaction) that are important predictors of regular exercising among recreational athletes [ 27 – 29 ]. This is especially important because psychological factors mostly influence intrinsically motivated behaviour [ 30 ,  31 ] creating a possible point of intervention to enhance the drive to exercise or dance." "Mood Enhancement was by far the strongest motivational factor ...
