Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to add range and depth to bodyweather and butoh dance technique.At this level, dancers are constantly refining their technique and expression to produce performances that convey a range of transformative aspects of the body, including complex dance movements. They could be preparing for performances in arthouse and performance settings where they would usually be performing as members of an ensemble, though some solo work could be expected.While supervision and guidance are provided in practice sessions and rehearsals, dancers are expected to display a high level of motivation and responsibility for themselves and others when it comes to applying dance technique in a live performance context.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
