Application

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to make a range of prop furniture, including trick furniture. The unit relates to the construction of furniture for use in a theatrical or event context and does not cover general furniture construction skills, which are found in the MSF Furnishing Training Package.

Individuals who apply these skills work autonomously in a team environment as they take responsibility for ensuring that prop furniture meets the creative requirements of productions. They may be responsible for supervising others.

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