Profile (1a)


Liam Pentland

I am a young confident and reliable individual with a mature attitude. I began dancing professionally when I was 17 appearing in music videos, TV commercials, Fashion shows etc. Through training at The Hammond as a professional dancer I have learnt to enjoy challenges, whilst keeping calm under pressure. I understand that life is one big learning curve, that never ends, but I believe I have a lot of useful knowledge now that I can pass on, and intend to. I am currently still working commercially and am teaching workshops internationally.

*Have found writing about ymself very difficult, so I you could give me any feedback so i can improve this it would be apprciated!

Before I start teaching my choreography I usually explain to the people in my class, a little bit of what was going through my mind before I begin to teach anything. I never usual

4c. Questions - Developed

Here I teamed up with member s of my SIG to see how we could develop my questions, so that I had a more thorough investigation. 1)       In what order do I label my professions? Do I label it in order, starting with the profession I believe I am highest in or do I label it to benefit the job I am applying for? When we discussed this question a good colleague and friend of mine, Jon Broni raised the idea that I ask them 2 simple questions:   How would YOU label my profession? E.g. Teacher/Dancer/Choreographer Why? I felt this was a very good question to ask because here I will find out other peoples perspective of my practice, which will help when promoting and selling myself. Also, by asking people” why?” I will then get given a reason, which should answer the question “How do I label my profession?” This way I can calculate how people label professions. I was also thinking of asking another question along with this being “Would I label my profession different
