I knew from the beginning I wanted to do a independent project for my externship but for a while I didn't know what. I didn't know if i wanted to incorporate my friends in it or what I wanted to focus he project around. in the end I decided on doing two project focused in Dance and street art. I have loved both of these my whole life but only in the past couple of years have I been able to actually get involved in them. So for my externship I wanted to really test myself and see where I could go with it. For dance i'm going to be going back to the basics and really trying to improve my overall hip hop foundation while also learning about my style as a dancer by choreographing and working with other dances to create videos. I'm also going to be focusing in on strength and really improving myself as a b-girl. For art I'm going to be acting on my own independant art projects but i'm going to be doing this with a slight disconnect from the hihi system so I've also taken on the project of putting up art in the HTHI bathrooms with a couple other classrooms. We don't really exactly know what we are putting up yet but I'm going to be helming with lettering, fonts, and graffiti style things.
For externship i'm most excited about really seeing what i'm capable of when given a free amount of time to just improve myself at the things I love. I have done art and choreographed and read danced all before but i've never had a time in my life where I just sat down (or in this case stood up) and given myself one goal to complete and just go after it 100%. I'm really nervous about actually creating good work. I'm scared that I'll put 100% pop myself into this and into my work and dislike what I make or just realize I can't do these things well. I've always been insecure about my dancing and my art but now it's a lot more cause people will be seeing it and then there for judging it but I think it's the right time to face these challenges because I have come to kind if a slump in my dancing and my art. Yesterday I was told I need to go back to introduction to hip hop classes cause I don't know how too move my body. It's true bt when I have already been feeling down about my dance it was hard to hear. And for art I just don't have my thing yet that makes my art special so it just can't be good yet if you feel me.
So far this ring the third day of externship I haven't really gotten any new knowledge yet. So far I've played it a little safe staying in what I know but I plan on branching out and challenging myself more as it goes on. If I can pin point one skill I'm having to improve a lot on so far is my time management and actually getting around to everything I saw i'm going to do that day. Also just literally getting to everywhere I say I'm going to be because I'm using public transit which sometimes doesn't like me and makes my life harder but not arriving when I need it to. But overall I think I have a lot to discover and learn still so I'm excited to see what those things are.
