Module 1,Second Session (live)

 Second Session (live) : 


Things I have learnt from my practice: 

I have learnt that comedians/clowns don't like to be upstaged in the sense that their joke is THIER joke.

I have also learnt that loving your training, truly giving yourself to this is what gets you through the good and bad performances. 


Someone else's lesson that I have learnt from: 

"I've learnt that adapting is fundamental and having strings to your bow is a very useful thing" - Pedro 

This resonates with me as new skills and not being "the best" used to be a very scary idea for me because of the possible embarrassment and showing of ignorance and I've found now I can be very comfortable in this position as you tend to prove people wrong and surprise them the more you progress and put the work in. 

"Bad situations usually have a way of figuring themselves out". - Hannah 

I liked this quote as being in the working world I've seen this happen time and time again, were I feel this is very true. 


How do we learn (Our thoughts): 

1) Practice 

2) Reflection 

3) Realising what you need to do then doing it. 

4) Have a deadline 

5) Self Care 


Learning cycle 

- Active experimentation - Concrete experience - Reflective observation - Abstract conceptualisation -

Notes:

All of my three key points should have gone through all of these areas, it can be vague but it's then harder to relate back. finding specific moments to reference can also help. 


Reflection-in-action is often fostered in artists who respond to what is happening as it happens, (if you are dancing across the floor and something is not working you change the steps as you are moving) it tends to be a ‘hands-on’ way of working.

Reflection-on-action is often fostered in academics who respond to what is happening by going away to conceptualise it and look back at it.

    We often shy away from displaying new skills, because on stage everything has to be perfect. I keep it with Salvador Dali 'By all means strive for perfection. You won't achieve it.'

"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 ...
