https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME By now you have interacted with the dancers/scientists during 3 class meetings. How did you experience the communication (in particular with the students of other disciplines). Could you “make sense” of their “disciplinary language”? en-us 2019-01-31 23:51:54 UTC 2026-01-01 18:13:05 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/339735300 This far into the collaboration, I am getting a better sense of our expectations and ideas for what we could bring to the table. With the chem/phys students, I notice that communication is more precise and definite when it comes to science-related material. I feel like their communication relies on speaking or writing descriptively, and I have a harder time making sense of this just because I am more of a kinesthetic and 
visual learner. ]]> 2019-03-10 20:37:43 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/339735300 https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/344057243 When explaining the principles of science that we were going to use for our dance, the dance majors were able to make some connections that could present our ideas through the dance. Some of their concepts were fairly straight forward while others required some more advance knowledge of dance. I was very surprised as to how there can be connection with science and dance. ]]> 2019-03-22 01:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/344057243 https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/348685852 Talking with the dancers helped me better understand different aspects of dances. The disciplinary language used was clear to follow. The dancers explained what scores are to us which gave me a better understanding of what we had been doing in previous classes. They also explained a few other ways of developing dances. ]]> 2019-04-04 18:48:14 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/348685852 https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/349297396 Sharing our ideas with the dancers definitely gave me a better understanding of how they communicate and their ideas for the dance. It helped that they explained concepts such as scores so we could understand their direction. Overall their suggestions were straightforward and easy to understand, although it appears that making a dance routine is not as formulaic as I had previously thought. ]]> 2019-04-07 20:45:37 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/349297396 https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/350474536 I think the dialogue between the scientists and the dancers went well. I think everybody was able to make sense of the language and ideas present in both the fields of science and dance. I think one of the initial problems was that both the scientists and dancers took the ideas behind polymer science too literally, but as the course went on people were able to thing more abstractly about the scientific ideals and how they relate to dance]]> 2019-04-10 17:34:37 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/350474536 tony_cobarrubia38 https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/350589914 The dialogue between dancers and science students, I believe made a connection with one another. We're able to understand the lingo between each other how to incorporate them to movement or teach others how polymers behave. The group project exemplifies this as we build a considerable dance project where everyone understands how each disciplinary acts. ]]> 2019-04-11 00:12:21 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/350589914 https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/351538258 Communicating through both us dancers and the physics group, it made it easier to work together, for example finding mutual definitions between different terms on each spectrum (dance and science). I thought that it was a bit difficult to understand the lingo of the physics students but by creating similar situations we do in dance made it much simpler to understand as well as clarify my own ideas to the other peers in my group.]]> 2019-04-15 01:54:10 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/351538258 https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/351799694 By this point we have met enough times with our group to get a little more comfortable with one another and we were able to understand each others' dialogue. The dancers comprehend and digest their information as very kinematic, whereas the scientists comprehend information as scientific theories and data. Our dialogue works because we can explain things for the other discipline to understand in order to help them answer their questions. ]]> 2019-04-15 20:02:49 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/351799694 emilycaplan1 https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/351848408 I believe by this point we have found a way to communicate in class with other majors. The two polarizations have found a sweet spot. I can see how different we work in our separate
 worlds but believe we are doing very well bringing the two together.]]> 2019-04-16 01:31:26 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/351848408 https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/352177489 After meeting several times with the dance group I think it is becoming easier to understand each other. Within our group those with dance background have taught us much about they communicate and those with science backgrounds have done the same. I did not expect to have been learning this but it is pleasant to see the collaboration between the dance and science groups. ]]> 2019-04-17 02:16:33 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/352177489 https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/352205322 An interaction of science and dance that has broad implications in the realms of education, that make me easy to communicate with dancer. However logical this interaction seems to me now, the reason why I undertook language of science and dance interact and shape our understanding of the world, was because in a modern society like mine these fields, science and dance, have been dichotomized to an exclusive extent. To demonstrate that, I show the benefits of such interdisciplinary interactions as supported by my theoretical and practical research ]]> 2019-04-17 05:41:54 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/352205322 https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/352617868 At this point the communication aspect has definitely gotten easier. We've sort of minimized the jargon and instead use a more descriptive language when trying to explain things which very much helps. Another thing my group does that is useful Is our use of imagery or analogies to explain a concept]]> 2019-04-18 17:07:30 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/352617868 https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/352958455 After interacting with the scientists and physics majors after three class meetings, I believe Communication has become more clear. Furthermore, we have started to discuss our planning process which makes the choreography aspect of the collaboration more clear to me as a dancer after going over the relationship a polymer is in a space and how that can translate and correlate to choreography and Dancers. One of the physicist talked about and discussed the relationship of polymers under temperature which helped formulate and start our groups proposal.]]> 2019-04-22 00:28:15 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/352958455 https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/352958456 After interacting with the scientists and physics majors after three class meetings, I believe Communication has become more clear.

The jargon used by the dancers was easier to understand for the scientists. Overall though, after some explanation and selection of universally understandable diction, clear paths of communication were established.]]> 2019-04-22 20:17:00 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/353173905 https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/353253848 I think that it has been difficult to interact with the chem/phys students because of how different our areas of study are. However, the people that I have interacted with have always been respectful, even if it seems like we come from different planets sometimes because of our knowledge of different areas. ]]> 2019-04-23 06:05:31 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/353253848 https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/353525560 After a few meetings with our groups I think our communication has been great. we have all ben sharing our ideas and helping each other better understand the dance aspect as well as the science aspect. we are all as a group trying to help each other out so we can all understand what we are trying to represent in this dance clearly.]]> 2019-04-23 19:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/353525560 jackiezdancer123 https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/353601839 I feel that there has been a lack of openness from the physics students. This was a problem for my group last year and it unfortunately has happened again. I feel that myself, as well as most of if not all of the dancers have been open to this process & given much effort to understand the physics concepts. At times I feel belittled or talked down to by the physics students, which doesn't help our creative process at all. Although this has happened, I will not let it interfere with creating the dance & will continue to figure out the relation between dance and physics.

We all listen to each other's ideas and the physics people in my group are very patient and really help me to understand the relationship between physics and dance. They are able to breakdown their disciplinary language for me and the rest of the dancers in the group which allows us to collaborate really well. ]]> 2019-04-24 04:15:39 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/353611242 https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/353934604 Throughout the next few meetings, I felt that we as dancers, have done much more of the communications as I found it hard to make more openness to the physics students. But I feel that we were all respectful toward making ideas and from what we all learned from the presentation. It made me understand more about physics hearing from the physics students. ]]> 2019-04-24 22:22:45 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/353934604 https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/353976730 The largest communication hurdle to overcome was the difference in how to approach an activity. I felt that the dancers would begin each proposal with a movement or demonstration while the science folks would try to communicate verbally. This was eventually overcome as we became more familiar with each other.]]> 2019-04-25 03:04:39 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/353976730 https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/354566918 Our communication was fairly well, considering we were two distinct disciplines. I felt the dancers did a good job explaining how we could build a simple routine for our dance, and hopefully the physics students and myself were able to explain various properties of polymer physics to them.]]> 2019-04-26 18:32:06 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/354566918 https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/356053835 I feel that it is a little bit difficult to communicate with the people in a different discipline in the way that we need to find terms that would be easier for them to understand without changing the meaning of the word. We used physical examples for the everybody to understand the physical properties of the polymers and that definitely helped.]]> 2019-05-02 03:29:15 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/356053835 https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/357913898 The most difficult part of communicating with people of a different discipline is finding a common vocabulary. I accidentally found myself using chemistry terminology and needed to change my approach. I enjoyed how my group started to interact with each other by showing each other what they mean instead of trying to find words. Sometimes, nonverbal communication is simpler. That's how our choreography sort of naturally emerged.

I believe us as dance majors are doing the same thing to help them as well. So far in communication we are getting there.]]> 2019-05-08 20:25:00 UTC https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/358239049 https://padlet.com/abaljon/rc8i5bfmpt7z/wish/358317634 At this point I could sense we were feeling more comfortable with one another and able to communicate more freely. The science group simplified concepts for us and gave fantastic imagery that helped us create movements to tell that story. The dance group would then give them a series of movement ideas that we could all agree on .
