Having looked through the Chapter on
‘Professional Artefacts’ in Reader 7, I now have a clearer vision of what a
professional artefact is, and how I would like to present this as part of my
Inquiry.
Alan recommended during the first Campus
session I attended, that my artefact should be created with a professional
audience in mind. My audience is therefore, all professional dancers working in
commercial dance; on stage, screen, television, music videos and tours. I feel that the findings from my inquiry
would be of most benefit to those dancers that are new to the industry, having
just graduated from professional training, however this does not mean it will
not contain useful and career-building information for those dancers that are more
experienced.
I would like to present my artefact in a
way that will grab the attention of all commercial dancers, and provide a
comprehensive learning tool for them. There are various examples of ways to
present an artefact shown in the Reader, including text, images or audiovisual.
I have investigated other Module 3 blogs and found that audiovisual is the form
that stands out the most for me, as it can involve a combination of media to
showcase my findings. I would hope to include text, film and audio samples: I
often create short films and show reels, so this is a medium I am familiar with
and enjoy working with.
Being able to post a short video of my
findings online will be a great way to inform those in my professional circles
and also those that have taken part in my inquiry. Being as social media savvy
as we are today- an online video gives a great platform for it to be shared,
emailed, and posted onto my blog and YouTube channel. It would be my ultimate
aim for the video to be presented to those dancers in their final year of
professional training, in order to widen their perspectives and provide up to
date information on my inquiry topic.
