Task 3C The Networked Professional

I have not included my family members as important contacts because it is a network which sits in the background of my development and supports me across the whole range of my activities. Nor have I included my teaching network as the most important of my information sources at this point. My focus is on developing my career as a performer, so my five current most important sources of information relate to the process of getting work as a performer. This starts with obtaining information about up coming auditions, considering possible options with my agency, securing an audition, preparing for an audition and finally doing the audition. I have included my most important contact for each step each of the sources listed has been chosen from a number of different networks as listed in my blog 3A and following evaluation of several possible choices. I have concluded that I will need to be prepared to re consider my contacts on a regular basis and I have an action plan to construct a data base of network contacts which gives me flexibility not only to add and subtract names but also to change their degree of importance as my career develops. I am currently considering if a spreadsheet approach gives me what I want and will spend time developing it after I have completed my 750 words submission critically reflecting on the whole module.
  My choice of five most important sources are as follows:

• The stage/ The stage I phone application
• Facebook
• Contacts 2011/ Actors year book
• College and private teachers
• My Agent
