This unit is designed to facilitate the transition from the institution to the workplace. As such it is important that students assume a level of personal responsibility in researching and selecting potential secondment placements. While many students select professional or semi-professional companies, students are encouraged to think about a broad range of options including service organisations, teaching positions, choreographic mentorships and community dance projects. This is an opportunity to benchmark and evaluate performance in relation to others in the workplace. Emphasis is placed on the acquisition of skills in critical listening, written and oral communication, and basic research, to generate ideas and concepts in both written and oral formats. The importance of physical, social and cultural sustainability relating to artform practice and professional career paths is also embraced in this unit through: the choice or repertoire; duty of care in public performance environments; engagement with industry partners; building social and cultural confidence via exposure to diverse performance environments locally, nationally, regionally and internationally.
