List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance Criteria Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Participate in pre-production activities | 1.1 Clarify aspects of production briefs and production values in consultation with relevant personnel 1.2 Investigate original choreographic work in screen productions, taking into account the advantages and limitations of the medium 1.3 Research style and other aspects of dance appropriate to the content or storyline of productions 1.4 Organise resources in line with production requirements 1.5 Establish a schedule for viewing material with relevant personnel to monitor implications for composing dance elements |
2. Generate ideas for choreography | 2.1 Prepare plans for completing work in line with briefs, and negotiate contracts as required 2.2 Conduct briefings for others involved in the process as required 2.3 Research appropriate aspects of the production to inform ideas on content or storyline 2.4 Generate a range of ideas, movements and starting points, and experiment with options that communicate themes 2.5 Investigate the potential of structural elements for achieving desired effects 2.6 Transform choreographic ideas into the stage or screen setting 2.7 Discuss plans with relevant personnel and refine as required |
3. Create original choreography | 3.1 Apply a range of advanced composition techniques to organise dance elements into working versions of themes that support productions 3.2 Collaborate in the construction of musical and choreographic material to create choreography that responds to rhythmic structures in music 3.3 Collaborate with relevant personnel on technical production of performances as part of the choreographic process 3.4 Incorporate safe dance practices through phases of the creative process to minimise risk of injury to performers 3.5 Finalise choreography using dance notation |
4. Produce work for public performances | 4.1 Clearly explain the ideas that works are presenting and the methodology used to develop works, to a standard suitable to public performance 4.2 Effectively direct and rehearse with dancers and technicians 4.3 Refine and stage pieces for performance spaces 4.4 View works with relevant personnel and seek feedback on how well composition meets creative and technical requirements 4.5 Incorporate ideas and suggestions into final compositions 4.6 Perform pieces to audiences convincingly and consistently over repeated performances with energy, commitment and focus |
5. Evaluate choreography of public performances | 5.1 Discuss aspects of the composition process that worked well and what could be improved with relevant personnel 5.2 Evaluate the quality and success of the choreography in terms of how well it met production requirements and planned outcomes 5.3 Evaluate own role in operations and note areas for improvement 5.4 Use results of evaluation to improve own work practices 5.5 Provide feedback to team members on their performance as required |
Evidence of the ability to:
prepare an appropriate choreographic response to a stage or screen brief
develop ideas suitable for a major piece of choreography for public performance
demonstrate competent skills in dance craft and direction when presenting work in a public setting
work creatively, collaboratively and constructively with artists, performers and technical crew
apply composition skills to stage and screen mediums.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided for each of the above points at least once.
To complete the unit requirements the individual must:
explain:
principles and techniques involved in composing dance for stage and screen
how film making aesthetics, processes, personnel and technologies affect the development of choreography
demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of:
formats used for legal contracts with choreographers working on stage and screen productions
safe dance practices when performing in stage and screen productions
musical styles, genres and rhythms used in different choreographic contexts
describe issues and challenges that arise when composing dance for stage and screen productions and suggest solutions to address them.
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:
a space with suitable flooring, sets and props
suitable equipment and resources for the choreographed piece
suitable costuming, make-up and hair equipment and supplies.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
