Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to to document dance sequences using basic dance notation methodologies and basic video recording and editing techniques.This unit applies to those who are engaged in researching aspects of dance culture. They could be documenting dance sequences or dance productions in the context of dance teaching, improving their own dance technique, devising dance sequences, or preserving information about performances for historical or cultural purposes.Work is usually undertaken under some supervision, though autonomy and judgement can be expected since people are sometimes expected to coordinate wide-ranging documentation projects.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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 dance notation reference materials and video recording and editing equipment and facilities.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
