Module 2: Little wonders

Starting Module two I felt very overwhelmed as I am sure many others did. I have been reading through the handbook and trying to make sense of this module. After having the zoom with Sam I feel more at ease and have a better understanding of what it is I need to do in this module. 

In this blog I am going to be talking about my "little wonders". One of the AOL I covered in module 1 was body image within the performing arts industry. I spoke about how through my college experience I felt pressured to conform to the "norm" when speaking about body image. I have been asking myself what my little wonders are regarding this topic. 

Is there a stereotypical body type required for a dancer?

Do teachers use the correct vocabulary when speaking about body image?

Does every dancer suffer with negative thoughts regarding this?

Are mirrors a necessary object within the dance studio?

Is there enough support within the industry surrounding this topic?

I need to also consider privacy, truthfulness and anonymity when researching about this inquiry. I will read literature on this topic and I am intrigued to delve deeper into this as it is something I feel very strongly about and it is personal to me and my practice. 

Please feel free to comment and share any thoughts on this as I am interested to hear other opinions and talk further about this.
