Description

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to refine and consolidate allied contemporary dance techniques. This often involves responding through improvisation to task-based work, performing high velocity acrobatic moves and displaying skilful partnering techniques. This unit applies to dancers who are moving towards professional careers in contexts where complex contemporary skill-based dance technique and versatility are required for performing as members of a professional contemporary dance company in Australia or internationally. While some supervision and guidance are provided in practice sessions and rehearsals, dancers are expected to display a high level of motivation and responsibility for themselves and others during practice sessions, rehearsals and live performances. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Elements

  • Rehearse a range of advanced allied contemporary dance techniques.
  • Execute complex contemporary dance repertoire in practice sessions.
  • Extend improvisation techniques.
  • Develop professional practice
