William's BA Professional Practice Blog

Looking through the handbook and decided to start working through the tasks, beginning with... Describing you and your practice - Rewrite you CV as a Bio for the blog As I am still fairly new to the industry in a professional sense so this task didn't take too long as I haven't got great volume of experiences and jobs to talk about, also I have done a similar task recently, creating a bio for my companies show programmes.  Comparing both I notice some differences, and I think this is mainly down to the different platforms that these bios will be read on. For the show programmes readers will know where I are working and what my job is, as they are there watching me dance, so the bio is tailored more to explaining my training, previous roles within the company, and other stage experiences I had prior to joining the company. Whereas writing the bio for my blog readers don't necessarily know what my profession is, so going into...

Here are my some what belated reflections on the first week of course. I wrote this last week but have just got round to posting now, not a great start I know but its all up from here. So here we go the beginning of the course is underway and I’m ready to get into it. I have to say before the Skype inductions I was feeling a little stressed about it all, however now my mind is somewhat eased hearing from those already well into the course and those in the same boat as me. This stress was added to in part, it being the first few weeks of the season at work. Learning lots of new choreography, and getting ready to start the course feeling a bit like my brain might explode. On top of this i have been dealing with a slight injury which has been worrying me somewhat, so I have spent a fair amount of time at physiotherapists and trying to get past it. It’s all calming down now and I’m looking forward to the challenges ahead.
