Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to conduct research in response to a brief and link the research to elements of dance practice.
Dancers responsible for undertaking research as part of their studies or work apply the skills and knowledge in this unit. They may conduct the research to inform the development of a dance piece for a class, audition or performance, deepen their knowledge of a particular topic, or to develop an independent piece of research.
Research is done under some supervision but given the nature of the task, autonomy can be expected.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
