This should be presented in a way that is appropriate to the level of the qualification, ie. demonstrating correct referencing, critical analysis, relevant research and an independent approach to your studies.

Where appropriate, you are encouraged to upload content to your blog/portfolio from both the workshops/rehearsals in College, as well as any external gigs and performances that you have undertaken. Any video and audio you capture should be of similar quality to the evidence uploaded by the module tutor.

The word count for this blog is 2000 words, with related video and audio evidence where appropriate. It should be published on your blog, and also uploaded to Turnitin by the deadline.
