I am currently studying BA Honours in Professional Practice (Arts) at Middlesex University. During my time at Chickenshed Theatre Company I have gained valuable experience of being patient and flexible when working with a diverse group of children, teenagers and young adults, adults and the elderly of different abilities in an inclusive manner, including medical, speech and communication, emotional, psychological and behavioural and some physical disabilities.
Having studied the Chickenshed Theatre Company’s philosophy in inclusive practice I am able to use my experience and education to engage my team members and perform in an inclusive manner by taking an open and professional approach to my work. My attitude towards work is of a positive nature as I have a willingness to learn and develop new skills by retaining a “can do” attitude. I have been involved in a number of projects with children in an educational and social setting. During these educational and social outreach projects I have taken on different roles of working with children such as; one to one support worker, group support leader, and session leader.
As well as my practical responsibilities during the workshops I have also planned the workshops adjusting them to meet every child’s needs and keeping our options open so that we can adapt effortlessly if need be. I believe my strengths are being able to work in a team in an inclusive and professional manner, multicultural sensitivity as I have wide range of friends of different ethnic backgrounds, and goal-setting so that I complete tasks within an allotted timeframe. My dream is to use my experience in an inclusive educational and social environment and to continue my training to becoming an inclusive primary teacher.
Hi Marc
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely, professional and mature yet passionate and energetic feel to this profile. You come across very well in it. If i may make one suggestion, and that would be to reduce the number of times you use the word inclusive. Both through restructuring one or two of your sentences and finding another word that equally captures the nature of The chickenshed theatre company. I also love by, as an aside, your video. It is a wonderful insight to you as a calm, collected, talented and resourceful person. The music adds perfectly to the reflective and calm mood of the video but i would have liked the music to fade down a fraction more to better compliment and distract less from the points you made speaking to the camera.
Great to have you on here Blogging Marc.
Hope i get to meet you over the next few campus sessions.
Stay safe - Phil
Hello Phil, thank you for your positive comment. I am currently in the process of writing up my second draft of my professional profile and I will take your advice on board. Also, I agree that the music is a distraction while I am speaking in my video and will certainly fade it out as you have politely suggested. Once again thank you for your feedback on how I can improve my professional profile and video.
ReplyDeleteHope you're well,
Marc.
