Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to undertake research into, and present a range of perspectives on, current and emerging live performance concepts and practice. The emphasis is on informed experimentation to refine an individual’s personal philosophy and to challenge the boundaries of current practice.Performers, choreographers, composers, producers, directors, writers and researchers interested in cutting edge live performance practice apply the skills and knowledge in this unit. They may need to refine their understanding of a specific discipline to inform the development of creative works, to plan productions, deepen their knowledge of a particular topic, or to develop an independent piece of research.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 current and emerging sources of information on live performance practice.

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