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!

Practise dance improvisation using various stimuli

  1. Identify typical movement and travel associated with a range of stimuli, including music and non-music sources
  2. Identify natural body response to stimuli using extended dance technique
  3. Develop a stimulus-specific movement during improvisation that can be repeated as a motif
  4. Communicate mood and emotion of stimuli through improvisation
  5. Demonstrate an expressive interpretation of stimuli through dance
