  - - - Consumer of dance
        
        Ability to analyze my own dancing
        
        improvisational dance is more authentic than choreographed dance
      - Producer of dance
        
        Dance clip
  - - - For me it is Sometimes hard to be a women in science when men do not take your thoughtssseriously
- - - - "“My attitude is, whatever I decide to do onstage, that’s my show.” -Father John Misty
        
        Personal: This is the way I feel when I preform a dance solo on stage. I could completely change the entire dance and no one would know except me.
        
        I can be whoever I want to be in my solos
- - - - Negotiated surveillance: various parts working together to form whole individual
      - In science it is all the working parts of the anatomical, developmental, genetic, immune, etc.…functioning together primarily though symbiotic relationships to form a whole functioning living person.
      - Like art as a form of self expression, many parts make up a bigger whole
  - - - We are a derivative of the worlds consciousness
        
        It is possible we do not have the capacity to understand the worlds consciousness
      - We are not completely in control of our fait
        
        Bandersnatch and Free Will
        
        Are we really in control of our fate
        
        Co-construction of self: free will is limited to what is accepted by society
        
        One can think they have free-will when really they don't
        
        Some free will restricted based on class in society

        Unconscious Determinants of Free Decisions in the Human Brain by:
        Chun Siong Soon et al.
        
        Research shows viewer's brain would have made their decision before even becoming conscious of it
        
        Personal connection: choreographed dance
        
        derivative of the world's consciousness
        
        could this have something to do with why decisions happen before consciousness kicks in?
        
        Would it be more "authentic" to answer immediately after becoming conscious of your decision than waiting and thinking about it?
        
        if our brains know our decisions before we become conscious of them, are they wired or constructed to think in a certain way... or in a way society has trained them to think?
    - - How can we define a self if the possibilities are altered based on who is viewing them?
    - - QM experiment (angle of particle)
- - - - It is an opportunity for narrators to set the groundwork for what is the correct approach/answer to these challenging questions
  - - - College application: Different school's mission statements
        
        Connection: I applied to 15 schools, putting on 15 different personas
      - Dance Team Captain application: Devoted, hardworking, leader
- - - - Today's teens less likely to leave the house
        
        Less likely to be without their parents and do things on their own
        
        Less face-to-face interactions
        
        How do you build a concept of self without human interactions?
      - feeling of loneliness: virtual world instead of face-to-face (Turkle)
        
        Social media and virtual world as a replacement for face-to-face human connection and interaction
    - - Less car accidents: going places less
    - - Constant need to share
        
        sharing leads to co-construction of self
        
        Is the social media version of one's self "authentic"
        
        Personal connection: Is choreographed or improvisational dance more authentic?
        
        More free-will in improvisational
        
        More conscious awareness in improvisational
        
        Conflicting notions of self
        
        Personal: I feel consider dance to be a form of self expression, yet I don't feel as comfortable doing the form of dance that allows me to express myself
        
        Preform different when someone is watching: do more "normal" movements"
        
        My style of dancing also changes based on my audience
        
        Sharing vs. experiencing
        
        Daniel Kahneman's
        
        remembering self is significantly different than the experiencing self. If the remembering self thinks of experiences differently from how the experiencing self actually experienced them, then how can those memories be a reliable source to continue a steady identity of self?
        
        Significant moment at the end of event changes whole perception of event overall
        
        Personal connection: Trip to Dallas TX. with my team

        remembering self is significantly different than the experiencing self
  - - - Avatars
    - - Disclosing too much information
      - self reflection and acceptance
        
        Approval from others
        
        Connection: When I post something I wonder if my friends and society will approve
        
        Connection: When my group chat says "posted" so that everyone goes and comments and likes the post
- - - - world operates on status
        
        Personal connection: friends want to post post pictures with their friends that have the most followers to gain maximum number of followers possible and raise status
        
        Putting a sorority or Team your apart of in your social media bio to raise status
        
        Limited access based on social status
        
        Our society is not fully here yet but I could certainly see it becoming this drastic if we continue to pursue social media further and future
      - co-construction of self
- - - - Personal connection: meditation, mindfulness and yoga are something I practice to try to live more in the present because I am very goal-oriented person
        
        This is a photo of me and my dad on a yoga/meditation retreat
- - - - "cold therapy"
  - - - Personal: I identify more with the fact there is a self, it is just separate from the five aggregates
- - - - focus more on empty space than tangible objects
        
        The human is 99% empty space
        
        Taoism also put focus on practicing both “being” and “not being”
        
        minfulness and meditation
        
        How can one describe and find a self if they are “not being”?
      - education interferes with people spontaneously following natural order
        
        restricted free will
  - - - urges people to not pre-answer yes or not to these big questions, but rather to explore and discover and let go of all your beliefs.
        
        If a self could be taught, then that would mean it is steadfast permanent
        
        connection to Buddhism
