This unit introduces the learner to industry repertoire and acting roles of major Indigenous writers. At this level, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people prepare, rehearse and perform scenes from Indigenous works, with varying theoretical and practical applications preparing the learner for future contemporary Indigenous performance and audition work. The candidate is expected to increase expertise over time with considerable skills practice of technical exercises accompanied with extensive rehearsal time. No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
