Module One and Module Three skypes this week
We had a couple of Skypes this week. In Module One focus we talked about literature. Thinking about why you are doing things - why am I reading this. This idea of questions came across in a lot of the conversation. Questions help unpack the experience such s 'how does this relate to me personally to my practice?' How is this unique to me? Am I visual person - how can I describe this visually, sonically, physically?
The Module Three focus conversations included recognizing 'the process'. Noticing your process, Noticing the 'messiness' of understanding something as it links to ideas you already had and maybe changes them or shifts their meaning. We discussed the importance of having an open mind, enjoying not knowing but also witnessing your own process.
Those attending said they would be posting their thoughts please look in the comments - what do you think please comment. What have you been reflecting on this week.

Community Skypes
We are adding some 'community Skypes' as a response to the current news and changes and the isolation that they move towards. These are Skypes we can orchestrate through my (Adesola's) blog but they are for you to talk to each other informally, share ideas about the course but also larger approaches or challenges to your practice.
They are to keep in touch and support each other as the BAPP (and MAPP) community.
The first on will be
Thursday 19th March 7pm (time in London)
Comment below if you will join.

About first person and the notion of bias and the 'truth'...
You may have noticed I try not to use words like 'bias' and 'truth' because their meaning is so different in qualitative research (which we are doing - where they could have no meaning) from quanititive research (where they have a a lot of meaning). I put these videos together to talk around the idea of how we are present in our own experiences and in our own research. The practice as research approach I take means that it is not about trying to be neutral or un-bias. Instead it is about being reflective, reflexive and questioning...together these videos demonstrate this...
We ask you to writing in First person because you are the filter through which you are experiencing life and making meaning. This is seeing a constructed world in which you are the builder. We need to know who is doing the building – you need to present. This raises questions about what is truth – is it more ‘true if I writing the building was the best thing every built’ or if I write ‘I felt the building was the best construction I had walked into.’ Is the building better because you are out of the sentence?
We have to ask where we stand on truth, learning, facts – objective truth. Here is montage of videos and questions that together an assemblage for addressing the ethics of where ‘I’ am in what I write…
Lying is a corporative act so is truth...
Truth – learn from history for the better of the world – there is objective truth...
and so for me kindness is key
But what about being kind has the danger of being gullible... (swearing below!!)
....truth...
‘…gave us access to everything but it also gave everything to us… discriminate between the things that genuinely matter and the' rhetoric 'of life…’
Where you are in all this determines what it means... so you need to be present in it when you write about it. That is why we ask you write in first person.
What do you think?...

Campus Session
We looked at Mapping - mapping practice, mapping for inquiry -
We asked each other questions about the maps we had of our practice and inquiry.
This led to thinking about:
Anushka - The exploration of different cultures/ environments within my training and how these have influenced how I conduct myself while training and performing. This has added discussion point for my ethical considerations to link into my areas of learning.
Bronte - Today we looked how previous experiences have changed the way we approach our practice and looked into the grey areas on our maps - Broaden your minds!
Tom - I found it very helpful to understand that we are casting a large net in order to come up with our point of inquiry. I was maybe trying to be too specific immediately, rather than allowing the research and mapping work to inform the choices that I made to take to inquiry.
What are your thoughts on mapping
