Rehearse technique for performance

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required by performers, such as singers, actors, dancers, circus performers and comedians, to participate in rehearsals for performances. Techniques employed include acting, singing, dancing, movement, mime, acrobatics and improvisation.

Rehearsals could be for performances in commercial, competition or community settings and performers would usually be working in ensembles, partnerships or performing solo.

In a rehearsal context performers are collaborating with each other and working under the direction of an artistic director or producer.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
