Preparations for Performance

Twelve days until I begin my qualifying exams for my doctoral program. This blog will track the experience of writing four, 25 page professional papers in six weeks. I've already proposed the areas about which I will write and summarized how they relate to what I hope will be my dissertation topic. No matter. My committee of three will write questions that they feel I need to answer in order to demonstrate my knowledge - breadth and depth - within the field of dance studies, philosophy, performance and history. Hence, the performance here. What better way to talk about the validity of personal experience as research than a blog, right? Keep watching. They'll be more. In the meantime, I'm loading my Mac with tunes, organizing my resources, & spending time cooking and sleeping as these are things that will not be happening while writing. Wish me luck!
