Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required by dancers, choreographers, writers and researchers to investigate and reach conclusions about cultural, historical and theoretical concepts related to dance. They may need to refine their conceptual understanding of dance to inform the development of a dance piece for a class, audition or performance, deepen their knowledge of a particular topic, or to develop an independent piece of research.At this level, people are expected to engage in a research process that begins to inform practice at a professional level, but which may be guided by others.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
