Overview
This unit aims to enable you to use, adapt and transform your skills for artistic expression in a specific performing domain including collaborative and interdisciplinary practice. As such, this project-based unit provides the context in which you will develop technique, artistry, communication skills, performance ability and confidence through professionally guided rehearsals, classes, performances and workshops. It is the second of two units which builds on the practice of the Teaching Artist as a facilitator of dance-led creative experiences. You will apply your developed knowledge of technical skill and artistic practice to the creation of a performance situated within a specific context while exploring your role as a Teaching Artist from different perspectives.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Demonstrate a sophisticated application of Teaching Artistry skills within a specific industry engaged context.
- Work collaboratively with peers on the development of a creative performance outcome and realise this to industry standard.
- Critically reflect on your own practice in relation to the field, key themes and learning experiences that emerge through the creative process and performance outcome.
Content
The unit will be delivered in studio-based practical sessions, supported by independent reflection and seminars, leading to a performance experience within a specific context.
Learning Approaches
Studio-based creative sessions and a series of seminars or discussions will be delivered in line with the project timeframe either throughout the semester or in intensive mode to align with industry based projects. You will use a variety of documentation tools to enable you to reflect on the process of making and performing.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
You will receive formative feedback on your progress in this unit during tutorials, workshops and discussions throughout the semester.
Assessment
Overview
There are two assessments for this unit. You will be assessed on a formative and summative basis on your engagement throughout the practical project undertaken in this unit, including where relevant rehearsals, workshops and performances. This will be supported by an assessment of your learning as demonstrated in your reflective journal.
Unit Grading Scheme
7- point scale
Assessment Tasks

Summative: Demonstrate a sophisticated ability to document your creative practice, evidenced through observing, describing and critically reflecting on specific elements employed in the creation and performance of the creative project.
This is an assignment for the purposes of an extension.
Assessment: Demonstration
Formative and summative: Engagement with devising and presenting a performance experience. You will be involved in devising the performance platform or event. This performance experience may be developed for workshop delivery where applicable.
Individual: Demonstrate a sophisticated application of Teaching Artistry skills within a specific context.
Group: Work collaboratively with peers on the development of a creative performance outcome and realise this to industry-standard.
Academic Integrity
Students are expected to engage in learning and assessment at QUT with honesty, transparency and fairness. Maintaining academic integrity means upholding these principles and demonstrating valuable professional capabilities based on ethical foundations.
Failure to maintain academic integrity can take many forms. It includes cheating in examinations, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, and submitting an assessment item completed by another person (e.g. contract cheating). It can also include providing your assessment to another entity, such as to a person or website.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Further details of QUT’s approach to academic integrity are outlined in the Academic integrity policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Breaching QUT’s Academic integrity policy is regarded as student misconduct and can lead to the imposition of penalties ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.

Relevant unit readings and reference material will be available online.
Risk Assessment Statement
All students and staff are required to complete the Tier 1 CIF General Health and Safety Induction for access to campus buildings and facilities. This must be completed online.
This unit also requires a Tier 2 CIF Health and Safety Induction which is provided by the technician on site in the theatre, workshop or studio. Not all students are required to complete the Tier 2 induction.
The study in this unit involves physical training in purpose-built dance studios and industry standard performance venues. Physical challenges are an inherent part of dance training. The development of essential risk-management skills that minimise potential injury is a high priority with all QUT staff. You are taught safe dance principles as life-long learning skills and it is expected that you apply them in this unit.
Due to the athletic nature of dance training, the dance discipline provides the necessary duty of care in emergency situations through its first aid and health and safety officers at all venues in which you are required to participate in this unit.
Access to on campus doctors is possible at short notice.
