Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Create original choreography

  1. Apply a range of advanced composition techniques to organise dance elements into working versions of themes that support productions
  2. Collaborate in the construction of musical and choreographic material to create choreography that responds to rhythmic structures in music
  3. Collaborate with relevant personnel on technical production of performances as part of the choreographic process
  4. Incorporate safe dance practices through phases of the creative process to minimise risk of injury to performers
  5. Finalise choreography using dance notation

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided for each of the above points at least once.

To complete the unit requirements the individual must:

explain:

principles and techniques involved in composing dance for stage and screen
