Advisor meeting report 2 - Autumn semester

Skype meeting on Thursday October 16th 2014 at 10am EST
with Laura Gonzales - Studio Advisor & Laura Bissell - Research Advisor

The purpose of this meeting was to connect the three of us in order to establish that we are all "on the same page" in regards to my goals for this (studio) semester and how that informs the next (research) semester.

Laura Gonzales was very encouraging about the direction I have been taking my workshops with Asheville Contemporary Dance Theater.
She had some suggestions to make in regards to the video documentation. I have been using the camera as a "sketch book" to take note of what transpires through the workshop process. She commented that this is an appealing choice of the use of the camera and suggested I continue to develop this more consciously as part of the work.

Laura Bissell has compiled a bibliography of suggested reading material (some of which I already have) and suggested I begin to search for articles once I have further narrowed down my specific points of interest.

Her suggested reading is as follows:
