BAPP Task 6c: Award Specialism Title

I would like to propose that my award specialism title be: BA (Hons) Professional Practice in Arts (Dance).

My rationale is as follows:


In order to decide on something that is personally meaningful for my professional inquiry, I have combined a long-standing passion of mine with one of life’s new ventures; dance and the law. With an extensive background in classical ballet training and performing; I have an innate interest in dance that continues to inspire me to want to work with dancers and find new and improved ways to assist them in their professional life. With regard to the law, this is a way for me to view the dance sector from a fresh perspective whilst directly fulfilling my eagerness to help fellow professional dancers.
I have chosen to focus on legal representation for dancers which in this case encompasses what knowledge already exists in this area; what is yet to be improved upon; and the current attitudes of those involved. This ranges from professional dancers, dance schools, and dance organisations to legal experts offering specialised services.
My intention is to discover what a dancer’s general knowledge of the law is in relation to their profession and, on the other side of this, what legal advice/aid is currently available to them from the experts who deal within this very niche area. I will also consider whether bringing knowledge of legal advice/aid into dance education would be of benefit; whether it is raised within vocational schools or given more importance amongst dance organisations and dance companies.
This inquiry will be of direct value to my professional practice as it foresees what I wish to pursue for my future career. It will give me excellent insight into this specialised area of the law whilst at the same time, giving me the opportunity to positively shape the future for dancers by offering them greater knowledge of how they can ensure security and independence in their professional lives.      

Any comments welcome!
