In today’s morning Skype there were a few people from Module One for whom this was their first Skype. As a group we were brave enough to start a conversation about the topics people had been thinking about (and not just end up asking each other what to do!!). Because of this group collaboration to talk to each and develop each others ideas we were able to witness how an idea can group from its original space to unexpected spaces through the journey of the discussion.

We thought about the ideas about experience ‘v’ qualifications in terms of who teaches the arts but of course this raises questions and opportunity for inquiry into what we (personally) mean by being qualified to do something, and what we mean when we use the word ‘experience’. These concepts are also discussed in the Module handbooks and in the articles and books on the reading lists for each Module because they are very present in looking at what learning and knowledge are. Allison is going to blog about experience ‘v’ qualifications and Cathleen about qualifications Alison.lonsdale1@hotmail.co.uk &
Shari talked about seeing things from a different perspective. (For instance, most people on the Skype were involved in dance and she is a photographer and journalist.) We talked about having a new perspective on something also allows you to reflect on and question your own assumptions. Shari is blogging about this https://dotfox-luxembourg.blogspot.com
Joanne and Scarlett are blogging about some of the topics we discussed such as how industries change when they become accessible to the people who do not usually engage with them. Also about how dance is taught and the value of the Arts. www.scarlettholloway.blogspot.com &https://joanneclarke1806.blogspot.com
