Unit of Competency CUAMPF502 - Incorporate interactive technology into performance
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use music technology as a creative tool in performance. It applies to musicians and artists who use audio software applications and sensor/gesture based electronic instruments to manipulate a performance while it is happening. Interactive technology can be applied in all musical genres and styles, from electronic dance music DJs, to solo or ensemble performances, to experimental sound sculptures and installations.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:

relevant instruments and technology based equipment and software

suitable performance space.

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

  • Incorporate feedback and new ideas into the preparation of interactive elements as required
  • Review and test interactive elements, and make necessary adjustments
  • Confirm plan for use of interactive technology in own performance
       
Element: Integrate interactive elements
  • Implement plan for incorporating interactive technology elements in performance
  • Respond to contingencies to maintain the integrity of the performance
  • Interact professionally with fellow performers, stage management and other artistic, venue, studio and organisational staff as required
  • Take and give cues to contribute to a cohesive performance
       
Element: Review performances
  • Assess contribution of interactive technology to performance in discussion with appropriate people
  • Develop strategies for improving application of interactive technology in future performances
