This unit describes the skills and knowledge required by performers to prepare their own hair, make-up and costume for performances. Performances could be in commercial, competitive or community settings.

The unit applies to those who are actors, singers, dancers, circus performers and comedians requiring a range of well-developed performance preparation skills, where some discretion and judgment are required, and individuals are expected to take responsibility for their own outputs.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
