A New Term Begins...

Welcome to the start of the new term on BAPP!!

We had some great conversations via the Skype sessions on Friday and Saturday and good to meet those of you new to the programme this term.

As we start the term do take time to clear space (physical space, space-time, clutter...) to allow your studies to be a part of your work/life schedule and take time to figure out or re-balance the rhythms of all the 'things' you do. The beauty of BAPP is that it is about YOUR professional practice, so learning to feel the study as integral to the development of your practice is really important so that it is valuable and relevant to you rather than a 'thing' to have to 'fit in'.

Clear some space at home, find a coffee shop with a space you can work in (and great coffee of course!), listen to your body - when do you work well; early morning...late into the night?? Introduce yourselves and share your 'getting started/getting back into study' tips through your blogs.

Make a note of the skype sessions and campus sessions if you're able to join us in London and check out our symposium coming up later this month as a great place to network, listen, do, think, talk, move with other artists ...
