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. Research current concepts and theories of live performance | 1.1 Use a range of research techniques to source information about current performers and performance companies 1.2 Identify and explore new and emerging sources of ideas and thinking about performance 1.3 Expand own understanding of the potential of performance through critical analysis of research findings 1.4 Analyse, compare and contrast a range of theoretical approaches to performance 1.5 Evaluate ways in which companies and artists operate in a global marketplace 1.6 Take account of issues of sustainability for cultural practices in the 21st century 1.7 Evaluate new and emerging possibilities for live performance in the digital age |
2. Apply theories of performance to one’s own practice | 2.1 Evaluate the relevance of different theories and practice of performance through an evaluation of own performance and life experience 2.2 Analyse the ways in which different aspects of history, theory and other influences are applied, adapted or challenged in practice 2.3 Assess ways in which changes to performance might have broader benefits to individuals or communities |
3. Develop and explain own perspectives of performance | 3.1 Take a critical approach to different theories and reflect on own ideas and responses 3.2 Develop own substantiated positions in response to research and analysis 3.3 Put forward own positions in manner that demonstrates clarity of thought and understanding of different theories and thinking 3.4 Debate own positions on performance ideas with colleagues with a view to developing new directions 3.5 Present findings to colleagues in a format appropriate to research undertaken within agreed timeframe |
Evidence of the ability to:
develop substantiated positions on complex issues related to live performance practice
research a broad range of new and emerging performance ideas and practices
communicate ideas and theories to peers and colleagues.
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:
in the context of researching and applying concepts of live performance practice, demonstrate well-developed knowledge of:

describe the effect digital technology is having on live performance practice.
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 current and emerging sources of information on live performance practice.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
