Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to add range and depth to techniques for integrating acting, singing and dancing into musical theatre performances. This could be in commercial or competitive settings and performers would usually be performing as members of an ensemble, though some solo work could be expected.The unit applies to those who are performers and who are constantly refining their technique and expression to produce performances that convey the mood and style of music through complex dance, vocal and song sequences. While supervision and guidance are provided in practice sessions and rehearsals, dancers are expected to display a high level of responsibility for themselves and others in live performances.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
