Riel's BA Professional Practice Blog

I am very excited and looking forward to starting module two. We finished our first   zoom section. We mainly looked and discussed some   essential information in the module two handbook.  I am very interested in what we will learn in this module. I think there are   so many opportunities that can help me achieve my goals and go one step  further. Of course, there are lots of things to do, and there are lots of information to learn in this module, but personally, I think it will be such an amazing   time. For the research project, I was thinking to research about the relationship between the perfectionism and performance. I know it is a big topic, but as I am currently a dancer who is still learning and had some performing experiences on the stage, I always had a question about perfectionism. Because dancers are always curious and want to develop themselves and be perfect, especially on the stage, they want to perform perfectly and show good performance to the audiences. Although peopl

  We have discussed writing this week. We did some free writing exercises to help us think about what writing is for us and what we think about it. There are some important things to remember when we write something: -Try not to stop -Write in sentences - Try not to read what we've written before we finish. - Generate a flow of thought - While writing, if we can't think about what to write, just write the word instead first. When I think about writing, in my opinion, writing can be a tool to communicate and share thoughts with others. Sometimes it is hard for some people to remember what they want to say or communicate with others. But writing can help and keep in contact with others and can help inform ideas and thoughts in a readable form. Also, writing can be a basic tool to express ourselves in a different way.  Before writing something, we can use these: - Mind map - Spider map - Dictate list - Voice memo What do you guys think about writing? xx❤️ Riel xx

In the first class, we discovered lots of things based on the module 1 handbook. It was such an excellent opportunity to understand what we are going to learn and identify. The module 1 handbook is about "Seeing yourself and seeing your practice". Such as understanding and reflecting on my practices, contextualise and articulate what my practice currently demonstrates. We shared thoughts about how we see and feel about our practices and how we think about them. Currently, I'm not sure how my practice is going, but I'm sure this module 1 course will help me a lot. Since the age of 11, my only practice was focused on being a ballet dancer and developing professionally. Now I realized that my practice isn't just practicing hard to be a ballet dancer. I started to think a lot about my practice and areas of learning. Each person has different practices and thoughts about it. Practice makes me grow up and helps me to go one step further. It is essential to think about h
