Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required by performers to extend the combined skills of dance, drama, singing, acting and movement to a professional level in musical theatre. Performances could be in commercial, cabaret or competition settings and performers would usually be performing as members of an ensemble or in some solo routines.At this level, performers are constantly refining their technique and expression to produce performances that convey the mood and style of music through complex dance and vocal sequences. While some supervision and guidance are provided in practice sessions and rehearsals, performers are expected to display a high level of motivation and responsibility for themselves and others during live performances.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
