CUAPER401 — Experiment with techniques to produce performance art

Elements & performance criteria

Performance evidence

• use a process of thorough research and experimentation to confirm ideas for own work
• identify and acquire resources required to complete chosen work
• adapt and use a range of performance art techniques to create a single major work or multiple performance artworks that: • shows technical proficiency in chosen techniques • reflects understanding of elements and principles of design • demonstrates innovation and the emergence of an individual style
• review and document the research and development process.
• Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge evidence

• describe intellectual property requirements relevant to producing performance art
• summarise methods used to research creative and technical approaches to performance art
• explain how the works of other practitioners may be used to inform individual practice
• describe the role of experimentation in developing and refining ideas for performance art and how it relates to the development of an individual style
• explain ways to adapt, extend and combine the capabilities of a wide range of performance art techniques
• describe, for the elements and principles of design, the detailed characteristics, key interrelationships, use in performance art and how they may be challenged
• list suppliers of resources for professional performance art practice
• describe practices and procedures for working safely and sustainably with materials, tools and equipment for producing performance art.

Foundation skills

• Learning: Identifies own skills gaps and may initiate a learning plan to progress professional career
• Reading: Interprets and evaluates complex and unfamiliar information to support design ideas and to identify key information about resources
• Writing: Uses clear, specific and industry related terminology to document a comprehensive record of research, conceptual idea development and production
• Oral Communication: Clearly represents ideas for designs and techniques using relevant industry and conceptual language • Uses questioning and active listening techniques to elicit different perspectives about creative ideas and feedback, and to confirm understanding
• Numeracy: Uses basic calculations to measure and record dimensions of performance areas • Uses basic calculations to determine and record quantities of equipment, tools and materials • Interprets budgetary constraints and supplier prices and calculates sometimes complex order costs
• Navigate the world of work: Takes responsibility for compliance with legal, safety and sustainability practices associated with creative work
• Interact with others: Discusses design concepts and collaborates with other artists to generate new ideas and solutions to achieve best outcomes for own creative work • Engages in an open conversation to elicit and consider the merit of feedback from peers and others to enhance future performance
• Get the work done: Takes responsibility for completing own creative works from design inception to realisation, efficiently and logically sequencing the stages of preparation and production • Manages own decisions about appropriate design ideas and techniques by experimentation with a range of explored options • Resolves problems with technique through experimentation and analysis • Reviews work in progress resolving problems through refinement of approach • Creates opportunities to use a more innovative approach and personal style.
