Task 7a Part 1: My first Interview

The task 7a of the Module 3 of the BA (Hons) in Professional Practice at the Middlesex University consists of carrying out my professional inquiry. There are many ways to approach its development during the module such us updates of the inquiry progress, thoughts and plans about it or the summary of my inquiry tools (Literature and Interviews mainly). In the following weeks I will be writing about all of them and more examples throughout this blog.

Firstly, in the Part 1 of this task I would like to speak about the first interview for my professional inquiry that I did at the end of June in the Laboratorios Cesar (Photo below) in my hometown in Spain after the module 2 was finished and I was on the summer holidays at the LNOB.

As I said in my previous post, I attended the International Dance Contemporary Festival Trayectos in Zaragoza that took place at the Center of Art and Technology Etopia (Photo below), concretely I saw the results of the first Dance and Media Lab (http://smartplaces.eu/activities/dance-and-new-media-lab/) that was developed in collaboration with several organizations and institutions mainly related with the University of Zaragoza. Before this performance I was able to interview the director of the Laboratorios Cesar, (An organization that took part in this project) where we discussed several issues related with it such as how they programmed a robot to dance with a human or how to capture your body movement through accelerometers, I will explain more about it in the analysis of my Critical Reflection.

At the moment as we have just started Week 1 at the BAPP in the past days I have been reading the Module 3 handbook as well as the Reader 7 to organise all the tasks and the different parts of my Professional Inquiry that I have to complete in order to complete the course, therefore in the following weeks I will be posting more articles about the first and second stage of it where I am reading and analysis my Literature as well getting ready for more interviews in Riga.
