What am I doing in my professional practice?

October 7, 2020 at 3:22 AM

Hi:)
Soon will be the 4th week of continuous and non stop thinking, receiving information, searching, exploring, studying, reading, re-reading, observing, contemplating my Professional Practice and i could say from this point WHAT AM I DOING?
I am moving really slowly (first because i live in part of the world which is going through such turmoil and imbalance and I am really struggling with the internet, lack of electricity from last days, but i do not want this as an excuse) i am just thinking loud and i want to share my thoughts cause this situation becomes severe and somehow affect even my learning, thinking about my Professional Practice and my daily practice as it is. I am in the middle of process of fleshing out the AOLs and my head is in a slight chaos cause I am collecting information, trying to read more, selecting things, making notes and i want to do this in order and with the sense. I re-read the handbook, started to read a Handbook of reflection and experiential learning by J. Moon, went through my thesaurus and found out how word LEARN/LEARNING has so many meanings and so many ideas about it but also confusion, misunderstandings, double meanings and since English is not my mother tongue i recognised that also in my language which is Croatian, i can find double meanings, and using different words for LEARN and TEACH. During last few days i became more semantically aware of this two words and correct meaning of those words. I will definitely work more on this issue for my AOLs and trying to be that frog who swam round and round contemplating how to solve the problem of hooping out of the milk, ill stimulating thinking and questioning further and not so longing for the answer cause i really want to trust and enjoy the process. I trust with that kind of thinking ill gain more confidence in writing and deeper understanding.I am sure that according to Kolb these day im more reflector, taking a thoughtful preparation and everything around me observing and questioning. That is why i often use Rene Decartes philosophical statement (I think, therefore i am) cause this sentence makes me alive and pushing me mentally into a deeper combing of the subject. i do not stay only on the surface, i really try to explore more and not to doubt. Doubting, questioning, reflecting, contemplating is the best part of our life and this makes as alive. so, always....keep going:)

Sandra   October 19, 2020 at 5:02 AM Hi there:)) how are you all doing? Unfortunately I could not participated last week in online sessions but I would like to share my thoughts about ethics, ethical procedures and ethical considerations in that what we are creating , thinking, how we researching, how this impact on us and the others, how would be understand,...A lot of questions coming up to my mind during this study such as what we are aware of while creating something? How will what we are doing affect or maybe influence on people who are not us? (i mean here on dance, movement teachers, artists, performers), how they will feel, or what they know in the course of what happens and how we can carry out the people involved , the spaces, the time in order to make sense of experience, ideas...and how to entwine an element of quality there? how we create the truth, the real experience? All about ethics is make sure people do not get hurt, insult (this brings me to Plato(w...

MODULE 3//Sept 27 2021 -WHAT AM I DOING?

WHAT AM I REALLY DOING? Tonight's we had a very useful Module 3 discussion about what we are doing in our research, how we are framing, finding clarity, scratching the surface, focus on relevant, how we specify what we are doing....so after the discussion and really thankful after some clear questions, i would like to say about my project... Still my research title will not be my setting stone and I will be flexible and open as much as I can..  As part of my 2 month physically active researching period on a project Embodied flow in motion I am interested in exploring embodied flow in motion in 7 phases (slow flow, free flow, bound flow, open-spiral fluidity, fluid touch, floating sound, imagery flow, flow re-patterning) through embodied movement practices. In the context of this research, for me embodiment through fluidity has many stages and possibility to achieve fluid movement requires knowledge and experience of moving the body according to feelings, present state of min...
