This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use different performance techniques, such as acting, dancing, singing, comedy and acrobatics in performances in commercial, competitive or community settings.

The unit applies to those who are singers, actors, dancers, comedians, and circus performers, who could be applying these skills in ensembles, partnerships or when performing solo. While some supervision and guidance may be present in practice sessions, a high level of responsibility for themselves and others would be expected in live performances.

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