It was a while I didn’t write to my blog and now, I really felt the need to express my thoughts in my journey:)
Although I believe I am very behind, but I believe I started to see the light at the end of the road. It is quite exciting to plan my research and being lost in books to see what others thoughts about my research field. At the other hand I am aware I should write with bigger steps as I am doing now.
3000 words for the research proposal and 6000 words for the research is not much! Especially for me, who loves talking and able to talk about 1 thing for an hour:) I need to find a way to express my thoughts in less words and more highlight those which are relevant to my questions. It sounds easy but everything is related to everything… How to see the whole picture in 9000 words? Right now, I believe it is impossible and maybe it just give me the hunger to go for a PhD after this MA as I want to research in more depth. Saying this, first I need to research as much as I can in my field for this MA and have an overview and conclusion about the process to help my students in a best way to be great dancers.
I was reading a lot about the mind and body connections. Is it dualism or monism? Or maybe something else? At one hand I feel all can be, but my instincts guide me it is all related… The mind body and soul have their own purposes and without having them in balance we will not find the perfect match to be great dancers or dance teachers. Holistic approach to dance is something I can relate to as without these elements being in harmony we will not find a connection between the act must be played and herself/himself as an individual.
I realised there is no good or bad answers… The mistakes hides only on the chosen way – how do we go and find out the answers. When we will interview people in the 3rd module the questions will lead us to our conclusion. If we don’t raise the right questions we will not find the answers. If we are not spontaneous, we may loose the point….I mean we have our base questions but we have to change them if the answers from the questioned person lead us somewhere else. It is all Socrates teaching method which based on questioning people… He was looking for the wisest man in athen – he found himself the wisest from all as he did not know anything…and I realise after all he was right! The knowledge starts when we realise there is so many things still unknown!
How will you fit your proposal into 3000 words? And your research into 6000? Help me!:)))
