I started this task of reviewing and researching different literature by reading Paula’s blog on ‘The Dinner Party: Literature for your Critical Review in M3’. I had to read the post a few times in order for it to sync in and understand the idea in this way. The concept gave a storyline to what we are working on and how it should develop during the module much like a dinner party does.
For a dinner party you choose your guests, invite them for dinner, greet them when they arrive, have dinner, discuss common interests, and what is going on in each others lives. After the evening has finished you feel like you have a better understanding of what is going on with everyone.
Our research is similar as we pick our the relevant literature that is related to our inquiry. We discuss our opinions, knowledge and ideas with others and by the end of it we have learnt more about the subject we were inquiring about. However like some dinner parties we could come out of the end with more questions and resolved issues that need more exploration. This can come however as we further our careers down this route.
Here is a ‘table plan’ of my literature…..

These are the main areas of my research:
Touring performing arts shows, Culture, Production, Analysis, Questions, Interviews, Ethics
For each of these areas I have started to gather different sources to research further to improve my inquiry, these are to follow……
