This week I am really so busy with things out of the project itself. But at the same time, I did made some progress.
Monday:
We had tutorial on timetable, so we can better manage our time during independent study.
I also meet frend from Shanghai. She works in advertising industry, so she shared some recent work she did and drag me back into those time I am also working.
Tuesday:
At Dragon’s Den, I gathered some feedback both from dragons and peers.
Wednesday:
Me, together with graphic designer, we made the poster of my comedy tour. During that process, I also learned a bit how to use PS, and can edit some basic information on my own. That laid a foundation on my future potential workshop if I need some poster.
Also the speakers debate is really nice, in the game part, I had a chance to ask course leader a question that I never asked before.
Thursday:
I had a psycho-grographic walk with course leader from academic support. We head out from CSM, and ends at holborn, a site where CSM used to be, he also showed us where MA Applied Imagination classroom and studio used to be. During the walk, I learned that we can spend some time to pay attention to the surroundings. And from the walk, I established new network, a student from Fine Art introduced the name of her programme director, which means I have more access if I want to get in touch and discuss my project.
Friday:
Had a rest and worked on my comedy tour.
Saturday:
Together with my friend, we went to support London naked bike ride, but we placed ourselves only as passengers, not the one who ride the bike, and I do strongly feel pity that I should have had the courage to do it as this is the perfect chance to free my body and do something bold. I learned that I have to live in the moment and spend less time hesitating.
After that, I wen to London LGBTQ+ Centre for open mic, after watching others’ peoformance, I thought, why not I also try, I already missed to ride the bike, I have to stop hesitating, so I performed two unprepared piece, one is I read a piece of creative writing I wrote and I attached it, which is a new experience to me, another is I sang a song which I also never do on stage. And I do thank them a lot for creating a safe, non-judgemental place for me to try to perform in front of audience without feeling a lot of pressure.
General:
For my peoject,
The inner courage of myself: I had a chance to perform in front of people.
The progress of my intervention: I talked to some founders of my comedy tour and someone support me to do my intervention during my comedy tour, while some insists comedy should be pure without other elements.
Research: Not directly by reading, I should push myself harder on this.
What should do better: Research and time management.
