Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to use a range of performance techniques, such as acting, dancing, singing and acrobatics in performances in commercial, competition or community settings.Performers, such as singers, actors, dancers and comedians, could be applying these skills working in ensembles, partnerships or performing solo. While some supervision and guidance may be present in practice sessions, a high level of motivation and responsibility for themselves and others would be expected in live performance situations.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:

materials, resources and equipment used to develop conceptual and technical skills relevant to performance practice and chosen technique

performance venues, such as studios, theatre spaces and outdoor settings

information about relevant artists, their work, ideas and techniques.

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

describe how the following apply to performers:

copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues

health and safety

breath and techniques for the release of tension

body alignment

kinaesthetic awareness

the effect vocal techniques and characteristics have on audiences.

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.
