Scheduling

Now is my time to get organised. Following good advice from Kate, I have spent today printing up timetabled schedules and I have booked more room time with scheduled time to plan areas of exploration and interest.
I have also decided to have questions attached to the weeks process. This was inspired by Chloe's learning questions that she tackled during her placement. Also similar to the learning questions that frame a workshop proccess, I think these can frame what I'm making and doing and allow me to see the big picture.
Kate seems excited by my area of research and is pleased with my blurb, I know now it's about actually committing to research, time in the space and pushing some of my original ideas. Action is the name of the game...in the previous solo process I felt like I spent a lot of time writing, sitting at a desk. I'm happy to embrace that side of my creativity. However, as Grace highlighted, i need to find ways of tricking myself into uncomfortable areas...thats where I can grow. SayJay used to create from Images. I might note some images down and try that. There are also objects, music, choreography and characters. How can I feel at home in the Academy and how can I feel alien?

This timetable idea worked well when I had time to plan...as it got closer to performance it seemed to go out of the window.
However it also provided a bit of pressure to plan every session of rehearsal and actually i got the most out of my experiments in the space when I just allowed things to flow and I tried things out that followed the previous thing. The flow of association really allowed me to create things that I couldn't have thought about singularly
