Literature Review, of the 1st edition

Hello all, inquiry research is in full swing. A few weeks ago I made the survey I created live and people have been busy answering it with some interesting results. However that's for another day's blog.



What I've learnt over the last few Skype and campus sessions is that I shouldn't be reading literature to affirm my own ideas, it should be the ideas of others that make me think and further develop what I think. So, with this in mind I began to read streams of articles on actors and theatre techs. What I noticed is the cross over of skills between the two professions, the basic groundwork for each job is very similar. So, for an easy visual representation I created a Venn Diagram.

In red ink are the skills that some consider to be 'technical' but I believe they fit into both categories.
In blue ink are the skills mainly associated with performing but again, fit into both categories.

Of course, I couldn't list every skill under the sun because the diagram would be huge! However, if anyone thinks I have missed vital skills/crossovers or wants to challenge/ask why I put some skills where they are, please comment below or get in touch. Your opinion is very valuable.
