Reflecting on Module 2 whilst thinking about my Critical reflection

Slightly hoping I am not the only one who has found Module 2 a whirl wind?!

So after days, weeks and even months of stressing and thinking of how completely lost I am, I am starting to hope things are piecing together. It's come to the time where I am about to write my critical reflection on the inquiry proposal. And I have that many views and feelings I have no idea where to begin. I went from having 5 different possible lines of inquirys to having to take a chance, choose one and go with it. Thankfully it's turned out I am so interested in my inquiry so far.

Reflecting now as I blog I can only say, I am relieved things have come together. But I can also say I still think I have a long way to go. I feel like as a person and in my career I am sometimes learning more and moving forward a lot more than what my work is, but without doing well in my work I won't be able to achieve that 'dream job'.

Does anybody else feel this module has been a massive whirl wind?
How different do you think it has been to module 1?

Hope everyone has a lovely christmas and looks back on how much they have achieved this year!!

Award specialism title

Title: BA (hons) in professional practice in performing arts.

I have decided to choose performing arts, becuase I feel the main figures and evidence in my inquiry is from performing arts not just dance.

Rationale:

In 2015 I graduated from KS Dance LTD with a Level 6 Diploma in Professional Dance with a commendation from the examiner. I then went into the dance industry auditioning and working whilst also teaching in a private run dance school. At the end of 2016 I began to realise my main passion was teaching and I wanted to pursue this further. After having a think about where my main sector of teaching would be I decided on the secondary sector because that is where I first found my passion for dancing, I had lots of support from my teachers and I want to now give back what I received during my secondary school time. I am currently volunteering in my own high school Droylsden Academy, whilst having my own Youth Dance Company and working a part-time job and completing my BA (hons) in Professional Practice. Because of my passion in the secondary sector I have decided to look at ‘How GCSE doesn’t get the equal treatment to academic subjects and why this happened.’ The reason behind this is because I believe a GCSE is a GCSE no matter what subject it is achieved in. I wanted to discover people’s opinions and the Arts Councils views on GCSE dance and the importance of it. Although my main area of research is dance some of the figures from my research have been summarised over the whole of the performing arts subjects which has led me to the chosen title of performing arts in my awards specialism title. 

Does anybody think I should change to dance? Or do you think I have a clear reason behind why I went for performing arts?
