Performance

The aim of your performance can be to explore a question or to meet a commission (a real commission or one you have made up). This provides learners with the opportunity to produce a performance for an audience.

Research the best ways to create your chosen performance, taking into account either the question you want to explore or the needs of your client and intended audience.

Learners are required to plan, research, develop and evaluate the performance. They need to research potential materials, information and techniques and apply these as a part of development process. This involves trying out different approaches, refining ideas and preparing for and rehearsing the performance. They then need to record their performance.

Your performance can be entirely alone or as part of a group.
