Elements Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance Criteria Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Maintain and care for self as a performer | 1.1 Use appropriate methods to maintain optimum physical fitness 1.2 Identify risk factors that may inhibit the achievement of goals and seek professional advice as required 1.3 Take fatigue and personal limitations into account when undertaking physical exercise and performances 1.4 Perform warm-up and warm-down procedures in conjunction with performance activities 1.5 Ensure that clothing and footwear are appropriate for exercise regime and practising performance technique |
2. Analyse performance techniques | 2.1 Discuss the principles and techniques with relevant personnel 2.2 Identify a range of basic approaches to techniques 2.3 Apply kinaesthetic awareness to techniques 2.4 Take account of a range of ways in which techniques can be used to create simple sequences 2.5 Compare own work to other performances to identify innovative ways of using techniques |
3. Perform simple sequences or pieces | 3.1 Use principles and characteristics of chosen technique to perform simple sequences or pieces 3.2 Use a range of physical and vocal approaches when performing simple sequences or pieces 3.3 Use feedback from others to identify and develop ways to improve own performance |
Evidence of the ability to:
demonstrate skills in performance practice and chosen technique
discuss and evaluate opportunities to inform and develop technical skills
experiment with new ideas in making and interpreting performance work
