I have been trying to think of questions that might really interest me and rembered a mini project I did about greek and roman epics and mythology influening modern playwriting. This is a topic that really interests me and I would love to look into a question like: How much did writers like Virgil and Homer's works influence other authors, or Do the stories told in Greek and Roman mythology re occour in modern tales. Can anyone tell me if they think this is to far removed from what task 4 is asking for. I want to work on something I have a genuine interest in finding out about rather than trying to write about a performance industry I am no longer a part of.
What does anyone think?

Task 4a
My first thoughts on task 4a were panic! It tells us to refer back to task 2d which unfortunately was the task I really struggled with and never managed to complete to my satisfaction. I am now trying to get over my panic and understand the task better.
I have just got a new job as Junior Accounts Manager of Highjam a marketing and promotions agency. I start on Tuesday and am very excited! This means that I am stuck as to what to question as the job is not performance based in anyway and so is not something I have previously been familiar with. The first questions that spring to mind are about the day to day activities of the job. This is obviously something I will find out when I start so will not take me far with my Professional Inquiry. I am worried that as most people on the course are still performing or teaching some kind of performance discipline that my questions will not overlap with others. Bearing that in mind I am going to try and have some performance element to my questions.
1) How will skills learned as a performer translate into an office environment?
2) Does being able to act give a person an advantage in different situations such as client meetings and networking.
3) How can dance skills be applied to a sit down job?
4) Is Singing a transferable skill?
I don't know if any of these questions will help to develop my eventual Professional Inquiry but I hope they are a start and that others can identify with them!
