Literature struggle

Hey bloggers

Discovering that my next step with my module 3 work is to gather some rich literature that I can use and gain some serious knowledge from, I've been trying to research my literature examples.

I'm finding this a tough process, however, I may have sussed the root of my problem, I keep typing into google what my inquiry question is, this as I've found out is serving me no purpose, I'm trying to find information that will ASSIST me with my research inquiry, I'm not trying to find the answer as it won't really be found, hence the purpose of an inquiry. I'm researching into something that is extremely opinionated. Once realising this, this afternoon I decided to put into the search engine:

'Greatest dance performances of all time'

This helped me far better than just merely researching others opinions, I've actually got some information on what these professionals did that created the greatest performance..

Here for you to check out is the website: http://listverse.com/2013/05/12/10-greatest-dancers-of-the-twentieth-century/

It's a very interesting article. I think this is helpful to all aspiring artists.

If anyone could assist me further with any literature examples they would deem useful, be sure to lend a helping hand :)

Hope you're all doing well with your studies so far!

Peace and love

Start Up for Module 3 and Skype with Adesola

Hey all

I hope you're all well and had a relaxing, enjoyable summer break from Uni work!

Sorry for the delayed update on blogging, I haven't had the smoothest of start ups for Module 3 due to being extremely busy...

Before my Skype session today with Adesola I felt very uneasy and overwhelmed as to where to begin with Module 3, as we all know its our final module and requires the most work. However, having now spoken to Adesola and got to grips with what my proposal for the next three weeks are, I now have some aims and targets to focus on and achieve.

It's pretty simple, I have to now get on with my proposed inquiry, carry out all my intentions and inquiry plan and from there on I can start to analyse and really sift through all my collected info and begin to create my work for Module 3.

I think the best thing is to stop shying away from this, as Adesola said to me today 'you just need to get on ASAP with your inquiry. To be honest I struggle to find the motivation at first to start it all as I find this daunting if I'm not on a roll, know what I'm doing and feel confident with how I'm going to achieve it all.. It's hard and I wonder if anyone else feels the same? As we all do so much with our lives its easy to forget and push things to the side, but I'm sure once I get going and schedule my uni work into my working week its going to be achievable and even enjoyable!

Just to let you all know of my inquiry question/interest:

I am going to focus on finding out producing the best performance you can create for yourself....

I am going to source opinions and ideas from both a professional cast, a dance captain, guests/audience from the shows I perform on my current cruise contract..

Any additional help and assistance or point of views on this subject would be greatly appreciated!!

Likewise, I will happily return the favour :).
