This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required by performers, such as singers, actors, dancers, circus performers and comedians to apply theatrical make-up and hairstyles for performances according to make-up and hair plans. Performances could be in commercial, competition or community settings. At this level, performers would usually work without supervision and are expected to apply initiative and judgement in the planning and selection of appropriate tools and techniques. They may also be assisting other performers. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Evidence of the ability to: - clarify theatrical make-up and hair requirements for performances - apply theatrical make-up to create effective characterisation for at least two performances - create hairstyles in line with hair design plans - maintain continuity by recreating designs on consecutive occasions - implement skin and hair care management strategies - work collaboratively. Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided for each of the above points at least once.
To complete the unit requirements the individual must: - demonstrate knowledge of: - work health and safety (WHS) requirements when applying theatrical make-up for performances - cleaning and sanitising agents for tools and equipment used in the application of theatrical make-up and hairstyles - explain key aspects performers need to be aware of in relation to: - lighting design - props - set design - stage and theatre size - demonstrate well-developed knowledge of: - features of common character roles - roles and responsibilities of personnel in productions and performances - principles of skin and hair care - principles of continuity over a performance run - describe key theatrical make-up and hairstyling techniques used to produce visual representation of characters.
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to: - an environment in which different make-up and hairstyle designs can be applied, modified and maintained within commercially realistic timeframes - products and equipment. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
