In this unit, students will continue with, and draw to conclusion, their investigations into the practices of dance, documenting their processes in an appropriate medium. The resulting performance/s, video and/or studies into associated areas are expected to be that equivalent to practitioners of professional standing. The unit can be undertaken in two modes of study: Individual research or Company research:

Individual Research: The student designs and implements a project, usually complementing their central research focus through performance, choreography, secondment, teaching dance or theoretical and/or applied research. The project is supervised by an appropriate staff member.

Company Research: Students engage in work-place learning through activities conducted in a small company mode. Assessment of this unit is focused on the performance achievement of the student in the company’s ongoing and major productions. Appropriate staff members and guest choreographers will supervise students.
