Despite how old we get I think it is impossible to shake that 'back to school' feel Septemeber seems to hold. It is a time our lax approach during the summer months is whipped into shape by the routine and fresh starts that are to come.
I just recently took a placement with SmallPetitKlein dance company, through the advice of Hayley Dixon a principle dancer there, and also studying on this course. This really displayed to me first hand the power of 'Networking' and 'Connections'. I was also asked to produce a reflective piece of my time with the company, whereby I found myself lengthening my reflective period and ultimately linking the application of my thoughts to all I have learnt in Module 1. This realisation excited me to commence the next part of this course, as I can already see the difference in myself in the way I approach my profession and how I view myself professionally. I am keen to learn and apply what is to come, while facing the next challenge within my career...
This is really exciting, I too am noticing a development in my thinking and reaction to work situations. It's been a good summer, but it's time to get back to business!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree Simone...that feeling never does seem to go away!!
ReplyDeleteHey Simone, I've been wanting to comment on this post for weeks (had a problem with my cookies again & unfortunately not the chocolate chip kind!)
ReplyDeleteSuch fantastic news re. your placement and connecting through Hayley. What a great opportunity for you to choreograph a reflective piece too, putting into practice all of what we learnt in Module One.
In a similar way, you helped me with a drama project by giving me a stimulus for a project last term via your Blog :

So, thank you Simone! :-)
