This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to create and tell stories based on knowledge of traditions in story-telling and the use of the narrative form in theatre. Performances could be in commercial, competition or community settings. Performers such as singers, actors, dancers and comedians, who wish to develop techniques associated with story creation and performance, apply the skills and knowledge outlined in this unit. Depending on the nature of the text, they could be working in ensembles, partnerships or performing solo. Work at this level requires a range of well-developed skills where some discretion and judgment are required and individuals are expected to take responsibility for their own outputs. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Supersedes and is equivalent to CUAPRF301A - Create and tell stories
