And Thus, Module 3 Began...

It seems that some time has passed since my last blog post. So, a quick catch up with what's been going on.

Towards the end of Module 2 a bit of panic set in, to begin with I did the final assignment completely wrong and spent a solid day typing and re-writing ready for the 'final marked hand in date'. Whilst this panic wasn't pleasant at the time, it did get the work done and ready for the real final submission on January 5th. I was so busy working on my proposal that blogging took a backseat.

Panto season has come and gone. Due to the huge amount of work that I was involved in over the festive period, I'm glad I got our assignment done earlier - it gave me time (the little spare I had) to edit and re-draft. This echoes a point on Adesola's latest blog: set the finish date earlier than it actually is, allowing yourself that little extra time at the end.

A few weeks ago I also attended the Module 3 presentation on campus, to get a better understanding of what I would be doing come June time. Two important points that I noticed came up quite frequently were:
1) How what I have discovered through my inquiry applies to me and my practice
and
2) What have I gained from this inquiry?

I think the danger with the inquiries is getting bogged down with trying to answer our 'big question' (which was brought up in a previous campus session) and I need to remember how my inquiry is relevant to my practice.

Where to go from here?

My inquiry title is  

‘Does working in technical theatre enhance and advance your skills as a performer?’

Here's a quick list of what I'm beginning to do:
- Complete feedback form
- Read Module 3 Handbook and annotate where I need
- Continue my search for literature for my inquiry - review these in relation to my inquiry
- Get organised
- Think about ideas for my artefact
- Communicate with my designated tutor and SIGs more

I aim to attend as many campus and skype sessions as I can, but we all know how difficult it can be with such busy work schedules. But unto the depths of Module 3 we must ride. Hazaar!
