In time Chrysalis London will invite graduates from the worlds of design, photography, music, fashion, art, plus many more, to come and work on projects where they will get to bring ideas together to produce exceptionally fresh and cutting edge work.

Critical Reflection

At the beginning of Module 2 I decided that I wanted to research how other dance forms are used in the dance industry. After a few Skype sessions with my tutor, discussing the choice of my inquiry, we both decided this was a too large area of practice would be difficult to research in a short amount of time. After considering how I could narrow my inquiry, I decided to focus on how different art forms are used with Chrysalis London. My tutor explained how I could use more than one question to help with my research, so I decided on the questions; how are other art forms used in a contemporary dance production? and how does another art form benefit a company/Chrysalis London?. This area of study interests me as a dancer because it is always important to be able to market and present yourself well. I believe that gaining the information on how another art form benefits a dance performance will help me in my career as a dancer.

The process of planning my inquiry would have been a considerably easier if I had begun my research earlier in the module. When I decided on my inquiry I realised I was only telling my tutor all my ideas and not writing them down on my blog. I have learnt from this experience that I should put more time into writing my ideas down, as it will help me through out the process.

I am excited for the research process of my inquiry in module 3. I need to become more efficient with my planning and not leave anything last minute as it makes it difficult to get all the information together. During the rehearsal process I will make sure to write any findings in my reflective journal as well as on my blog. I have enjoyed the challenges during module 2 because they have taught me how to be more productive in the next module.
