Application

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to begin acquiring skills in the highly specialised field of dance notation.

The unit applies to dancers and choreographers whose performance and composition knowledge position them well for a move into the highly specialised field of dance notation. At this level they are expected to apply wide-ranging, highly specialised technical, creative and conceptual skills to express ideas and perspectives. Work activities and learning are largely self-directed.

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

Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements 

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance Criteria 

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Evaluate differences in dance notation methods

1.1 Practise reading scores notated in Labanotation to become familiar with key aspects of the Labanotation system

1.2 Practise reading scores that have been documented using Benesh Movement Notation to become familiar with key aspects of the Benesh system

1.3 Evaluate features of other notation systems to determine which system best suits own needs

1.4 Identify ways in which motif notation can be used to indicate the main aspects of movements, while allowing performers latitude in the way movements are performed

1.5 Identify shorthand used in conjunction with different dance notation methods

1.6 Evaluate the range of software applications used to notate dance

2. Refine dance notation skills

2.1 Discuss options for developing dance notation skills with relevant personnel

2.2 Take account of whether a basic level of music notation skills should be developed as part of dance notation training

2.3 Consider whether to pursue training that goes beyond notation into other issues associated with documenting dance

2.4 Refine skills in chosen notation method until required skill level is achieved

2.5 Use notation skills to document short dance sequences for teaching purposes

2.6 Seek feedback on effectiveness and clarity of notation and continue refining skills
