List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance Criteria Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Analyse choreographic techniques | 1.1 Identify components of choreography in dance sequences 1.2 Evaluate the artistic, creative and technical procedures of dance works by various well-known choreographers 1.3 Clarify how the purpose of required dance sequences will impact on the choreographic process 1.4 Select the most appropriate way of documenting dance sequences to be choreographed 1.5 Incorporate dance culture and terminology into the choreographic process |
2. Invent movement material | 2.1 Take account of the ways dance elements could be organised for different types of dance stimuli and purposes 2.2 Apply structural components of movement, phrases and sequences to dance 2.3 Create short pieces that demonstrate inventiveness in sequencing of movements 2.4 Create phrases that demonstrate a clear understanding of phrasing and rhythmic structures 2.5 Follow safe dance practices to prevent injury to self and others |
3. Present informal choreographic tasks | 3.1 Develop, rehearse and edit compositions for informal presentations 3.2 Communicate ideas using verbal, physical and tactile means and provide constructive feedback to other dancers as required 3.3 Use props, music and costumes effectively 3.4 Demonstrate choreographic approaches that move beyond literal or simple narrative 3.5 View work in progress with relevant personnel and seek feedback on how well choreography meets creative and technical requirements 3.6 Incorporate ideas and suggestions into work |
4. Evaluate choreography | 4.1 Develop a journal to detail composition process 4.2 Analyse choreographic structures and processes verbally and in written formats 4.3 Compare work against previous work to assess development of techniques and ideas 4.4 Discuss strengths and weaknesses of dance pieces with relevant personnel and identify strategies for improving own techniques |
Evidence of the ability to:
use practical structural components of movement, phrases and sequences when choreographing dance pieces
invent movement material
construct sequences of movement
devise choreographic work for informal presentation
document, reflect on and analyse choreography
use dance terminology correctly.
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:
describe:
structural movement elements that comprise a choreographic work
role of movement motifs in composition
composition elements of choreographic dance sequences
artistic, creative and technical procedures used by well-known dance choreographers
ways to document or notate dance
safe dance practices
explain how dance is a form of communication
explain how the following composition devices are used to structure dance:
accumulation
canon
inversion
retrograde
rondo
describe issues and challenges that arise when composing dance and suggest solutions to address them.
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 a dance studio or space with suitable flooring.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
