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!

CUACHR602 - Develop skills in dance notation

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Evaluate differences in dance notation methods

  1. Practise reading scores notated in Labanotation to become familiar with key aspects of the Labanotation system
  2. Practise reading scores that have been documented using Benesh Movement Notation to become familiar with key aspects of the Benesh system
  3. Evaluate features of other notation systems to determine which system best suits own needs
  4. Identify ways in which motif notation can be used to indicate the main aspects of movements, while allowing performers latitude in the way movements are performed
  5. Identify shorthand used in conjunction with different dance notation methods
  6. Evaluate the range of software applications used to notate dance

Refine dance notation skills

  1. Discuss options for developing dance notation skills with relevant personnel
  2. Take account of whether a basic level of music notation skills should be developed as part of dance notation training
  3. Consider whether to pursue training that goes beyond notation into other issues associated with documenting dance
  4. Refine skills in chosen notation method until required skill level is achieved
  5. Use notation skills to document short dance sequences for teaching purposes
  6. Seek feedback on effectiveness and clarity of notation and continue refining skills
