This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to perform a simple sequence or piece for an audience. Techniques employed include acting, singing, dancing, movement, mime, acrobatics and improvisation. Performances could be in commercial, competition or community settings and performers would usually be working in ensembles, partnerships or performing solo. At this level performers are refining their techniques through practice, and while some supervision and guidance may be present in practice, a high level of motivation and sense of responsibility for themselves and others is expected in live performance situations. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Supersedes and is equivalent to CUAPRF406A - Use technique in performance
Evidence of the ability to: - respond appropriately to performance context and contingencies that arise - demonstrate performance skills in chosen technique - demonstrate refined technique during performances - provide critical analyses of own and others performances - work collaboratively with production teams and other performers.
To complete the unit requirements the individual must: - explain how the following apply in the context of live performances: - emergency procedures - hearing protection - overcoming performance anxiety - protection of body against injury from overuse - safe lifting procedures - describe issues and challenges that arise when performing before audiences and suggest solutions to address them - describe key aspects of the following: - relationship between performers and audiences - relationship between rehearsals and performances - repertoire relevant to own area of performance expertise - performance vocabulary and terminology - principles and techniques in area of specialisation.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in a performance environment. The assessment environment must include access to: - opportunities for full performance with production team and other performers - well-equipped stage or performance area. Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Students please note: The marks and grades received by students on assessments may be subject to further moderation. All marks and grades are to be considered provisional until endorsed by the relevant School Progression Panel.
For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.
Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).
Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).
Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.
Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.
Students may apply for Special Consideration in respect of a final unit grade, where their achievement was affected by Exceptional Circumstances as set out in the Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000003318.
