After last nights group discussion, I planned to write a post on Ethics.
I started with revisiting my Module 1 blog on Ethics which reminded me of a scholar 'Sho Botham' that is working to raise the awareness of understanding of Ethics in Dance Teaching. I re-read some of her work. Which is definitely worth a read, no matter what Module you are in.- http://www.ethicsdance.co.uk/downloads.html
And then I had a look through her bibliographies for sources of further reading and then I discovered this TedTalk Video at https://allworlddance.com/Style/education/ and I instantly had to share it.
Last night we also discussed our Artefacts and our ideas on how we can present our reflections on our practice using other than words. Eduardo said that he has been thinking on how HE IS the artefact as he is a product of his practice and this resonated with many of us on the call.
My practice is Dance, so I am currently thinking of ways to express the Module 3 process. Adesola recently reminded me that my body and dance performance can show my knowledge, my practice experience and my history. And I feel this video helps hi-light how dance can build more of a picture than writing in many cases.
I also wanted to share my journey to this video find as a reminder that we often find things when we are not looking, and that following a thread can lead to the most wonderful discoveries.
How does this video resonate with you and your practice?
Have you found any nuggets of wisdom when you weren't looking for them?
