On our last Skype call which was on last Sunday. We firstly talked by ourselves for a change which was quit new and interesting to me, while Ms Helen and Ms Adesola joined us on the second half of the call. This gave us the opportunity to talk by our own about a lot of things including our experiences and how they always have a strong effect on how we see things, bias and how this comes basically as an opposite to control the most recent one on the Corona Virus Pandemic that has an negative impacts on all of us.
When we discussed about experiences we analysed how the experiences we gain through dance give us opportunities to form a pattern and develop a specific ways to respond and react to situations we have during our everyday lives as artists and teachers.Thinking about this now I find myself thinking on different experiences I've had a a teacher and how these impact on the way I react on situations I face now. Still wondering if my ways will keep changing and developing whilst I experience more and more or if I'll choose to follow a specific way regarding response to situations I think works the best.(?)
When Ms Adesola brought up the conversation about how bias and control work through research frameworks, I agreed on how many people use bias to gain control and how we are all basically somehow biased because all of our former and current experiences have developed a way we have grown and developed as individuals, not only in our work but also on our daily life.
Finally we all brought up the subject that is the virus that is torturing the life of many these days.
My own school has been closed for about a week now and will remain so until the end of April...
Staying home and going out of daily routine has a weird impact on me I must say, especially thinking about how work used to keep my away from the house until late.
We all agreed on doing more Skype calls and keeping in touch with each other in order to exchange opinions and ideas regarding the current situation!
Hopefully this will keep my mind in place!
