BAPP TASK 6c: Award Specialism Title

The task 6c of the Module 2 of the BA (Hons) in Professional Practice at the Middlesex University consists of based on your questions, and previous reflections, identify and propose your award title, and provide a written rationale for it posting it on my blog. The award title should reflect your knowledge and expertise and you should think carefully about it in relation to your future career development

I would like to propose that my award specialism title will be: How the new technologies are influencing the mental imaginery, aesthetics and choreographic process in Professional Dance in the 21^st Century?

My rationale will be as follows:

- I have been always fascinated with the relationship between Art-Science, therefore when I started to plan my inquiry, I knew that I wanted to develop further my knowledge of it, Previously I had a background of the work of British choreographer Wayne McGregor studying how he has introduced the new technologies into his choreographic process, therefore I took it as the starting point for this new piece of research.

After researching several resources of my topic, reading about the work of other choreographers that had used novel methods and ideas for their choreographic process, also getting to know the impact of the scientific breakthroughs,  discoveries, and inventions in other art forms and how art-science cooperate together to develop the final piece of art, as well analysing and understanding my own creativity process, I have chosen to focus on the impact of new technologies on the Professional Dance. My intention is to discover what is the impact of the influence of science, especially the new technologies in the creation of new pieces of dance and and how are developping the mental imaginery, aesthetics and choreographic process during this 21^st century.

This inquiry will be of direct value to my professional practice as it anticipates what I wish to pursue for my future career in dance research and management. It will give me and excellent insight into this specialised area of research whilst at the same time, giving me the opportunity to positively shape the future of my own choreographic process by offering me greater knowledge of how to introduce further the new technologies into them.

Don´t forget to keep following the blog and my Google + Community for the updates about my research!
