Today was the 3rd campus session and it was quite nice because members from all three modules were there and we were all doing the same tasks together.
Firstly, we had a debate on two questions:
1. What, if any, relevance does performance arts have in society?
2. Who supports the arts in today's society?
This debate was quite interesting because each person had their own opinions and interesting contributions.
Alan spoke about not looking for the answer but looking in more detail at the question. For example, is performance arts different to performing arts? And what society?, today's or worldwide or a certain country. The 2nd question is a little less brief compared to the 1st because it says in British society and it tells us to answer on todays society.
After the debate we got into 3 groups of four. My group was made up of myself , two other module 1 students and a module 3 student. The task we were set in our groups was too chose around 4 words from a list and brainstorm about the words and write our own definition for that word. The four words we chose were deconstruction, argument, rehearsal and communication. At the start the brainstorming was a little slow but a few minutes and after a few words had been thrown out there we were on a roll. After we thought that was the task done we were asked to film ourselves speaking about the words and their definitions. In my group i gave a very small introduction and then we all spoke about one word each. My word was communication. I have posted some photos of the sheets we wrote on to brain storm so you can see them for yourselves.
Towards the end of the lesson we had a module 1 session with Alan to help us with any queries or questions we had. He advised us to complete a draft of our module 1 write up to send to him for feedback to work on over Christmas. So, if you are on module 1 this is highly advisable so that you have time to get feedback and have time to improve on your reflections.
I like coming to the campus sessions because I get explore a different city and try different restaurants, cinemas and shops that are not available at home. My personal favourites are watching musicals and going to planet hollywood, roadhouse and rainforest cafe. I seem to have a habit for buying a costa in the morning and before catching the bus home visiting Millie's cookies at the Victoria underground and buying myself about chocolate and some cookies. Haha has anyone else gained a London habit? Or what do you like most about London.
I am now on the bus back and am thinking about my module 1 assignment and what I am going to reflect on. Serious brainstorming is now in progress.
