Tutorial Two: Occupational Engagement, Doing, Being, Becomming, Belonging.

DANCE

My chosen occupation is dance. I chose this because it was a huge part of my second fieldwork placement that I was involved with in my first year of studies. Dance can mean many things to many people (personal and social meaning). It can be an expression of self, a way of excercising, a way of socialising or communicating, a way of exploring, the list is endless.
The placement was local community facility. I went there for one morning a week and participated in the dance workshop. Dance covered music appreciation, musical instruments, dancing as individuals, group dancing and partner dancing.
The images used on this powerpoint presentation are not from the fieldwork placement, but they reflect the occupational aspects of doing, being, becomming and belonging.

Doing -The attributes of engaging in the particular occupation or activity. (Christiansen & Townsend 2010).

Being - Occupation is a strong enabler for knowing your self. To know one's self is to know one's being. (Hasselkus 2002). This helps an individual form their identity - ones being and purpose in life.

Becomming - holds ideas of potential and growth, transformation and self-actualization. (Wilcock 1998a, p. 251).

Belonging -Refers to the physical, social and community areas of being. (White & Reed 2008).

The ethical considerations I took into account when making this presentation where that the photos were obtained legally as they are off the creative commons part of Flickr a photosharing website. The fact that each image has been referenced to prove the photo has been obtained in a honest way and not obtained illegally. The personal photos used have all been referenced accordingly and the people in the photos have all consented to the use of the photo online.
