Phone call with Adesola 18/10/17


A bit late in posting this as I've been busy researching my literature now I'm on the right tracks.
During my phone call with Adesola she explained that we are not trying to prove a point in your inquiry but to look more in depth at it such as;

1. The history behind are inquiry or the science. 
2. What other researchers have found out about the topic
3. what I want to gain and develop in my own practice from this.
4. look into the ethics around my inquiry such as children.
5. whats the funding like around my inquiry
6. is there a difference in different countries, such as America and England.

This really help me to think forward and ahead but I really do think that I will be on the right tracks from now on as now I'm thinking my inquiry heading towards teaching and dance education in primary school as this is something I would like to gain and develop my own practice in.

1b. Remixable data and transformations "Originating in hip hop and rap music, the notion that materials can be reused and rearranged for a new purpose is central to Web 2.0, where we as users share photos, music, text, ideas and opinions and 'riff off' each other to maintain and nurture dialogues." This isn't new in our industry just that the Web 2.0 makes it so much easier and faster to see and be inspired by another artist without mentioning them. Also with just a click of a button you can access artists' work from all over the world. It is good to be inspired by other artists' work to help create your own, but I think you should credit them when they make an impact to you as a person and to your profession. This made me also think about recent news of well known artists such as BeyoncĂ© "being accused of copying visual artist Pipilotti Rists 1997 project "Ever is all over" for the video" ( Sonis, R 2016)  of "Hold Up...
Integrating  arts at an early stage. Even though my inquiry is looking at dance in primary school ages and how dance is incorporated in to the classroom and teaches experiences with this. The Washington Post wrote an article about a kindergarten teacher "using theater and dance to teach math and it's working..." very interesting. Melissa Richardson a drama teacher was sent from the wolf trap institute to collaborate with kindergarten teacher, Carol Hunt to encourage students in her class using arts integration. The article talks and gives an  about how they incorporated arts into the classroom and the statistics of doing so compare to other students not having the experience from the wolf trap program.  For more information go to :  https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/teachers-are-using-theater-and-dance-to-teach-math--and-its-working/2016/02/22/61f8dc0c-d68b-11e5-b195-2e29a4e13425_story.html?utm_term=.c9a5c246457a I wanted to find out mor...
New Literature.... After days and days of more researching I came across a professor Marilyn Berrett and ex-student of BYU, Erika Cravath.  Erika Cravath researched about integrating dance into the classroom for her honors thesis project with Marilyn Berrett being one of her mentors on this journey. Erika has also published a book in 2011 the title being "Creative Dance Integration Lesson Plans by Erika Cravath" It's a guide for teachers to help integrate dance into their lessons also giving example lesson plans at the end of the book.  To find this book here is the link:  https://education.byu.edu/sites/default/files/ARTS/documents/educational_movement.pdf   Also here is a video of Marilyn Berrett and Erika Cravath conducting a workshop to teachers on how they can incorporate dance into the classroom environment.   Link:  https://vimeo.com/20476307
