Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to begin acquiring skills in 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.

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 |
