This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to undertake research into, and present a range of perspectives on, current and emerging live performance concepts and practice. The emphasis is on informed experimentation to refine an individual’s personal philosophy and to challenge the boundaries of current practice.

Performers, choreographers, composers, producers, directors, writers and researchers interested in cutting edge live performance practice apply the skills and knowledge in this unit. They may need to refine their understanding of a specific discipline to inform the development of creative works, to plan productions, deepen their knowledge of a particular topic, or to develop an independent piece of research.

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