Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Elements Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance Criteria Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Prepare for basic acrobatic sessions | 1.1 Select clothing and footwear suitable to session 1.2 Select, inspect and test equipment for safety and relevance 1.3 Check performance spaces for safety and report safety issues to relevant personnel 1.4 Perform safe warm-up exercises and mental preparation techniques to prepare body and mind for routines 1.5 Clean or clear performance area to ensure safety of performers |
2. Participate in basic acrobatic skills routines | 2.1 Correctly apply technical skills to basic acrobatic movements 2.2 Perform sequences of routines smoothly and in line with safe movement practice 2.3 Safely perform landings 2.4 Participate in pair and group routines as required |
3. Conclude basic acrobatics sessions | 3.1 Perform safe warm-down exercises 3.2 Return performance area to original condition 3.3 Store equipment to maintain quality and reliability |
4. Review basic acrobatic skills performance | 4.1 Evaluate own performance in session to assess level of performance and skill development needs 4.2 Use feedback from others to identify and develop ways to improve own basic on-ground acrobatic skills 4.3 Set realistic goals for improvement and develop strategies to achieve them |
This section specifies different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.
Technical skills must include: | balance body awareness and control controlled and fluid movements coordination flexibility hand and body positioning maintaining focus. |
Basic acrobatic movements must include: | basic tumble run cartwheels handstands forward and backward rolls static and running start-up. |
Evidence of the ability to:
perform a handstand holding form and shape, held for a beat
perform a sequence of six to eight forward or backward rolls, and six to eight cartwheels with both static and running start-up
perform safe and stable landings
effectively support team members
follow safe work practices.
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:
describe key health and safety issues to be considered when performing basic on-ground acrobatic skills
explain how the following relate to acrobatic movements and techniques:
relationship with gravity
spatial awareness
successional movement
use of breath
body positioning
folding
extending
rotating
shifting weight
warm-up and warm-down techniques
mental focus strategies.
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:
venue with adequate space and a safe level floor or surface
scatter mats
spotters (depending on the skill performed).
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
