For the Performance Skills course the students planned, organised and rehearsed a range of performance skills for a variety show. This blog contains evidence to support each students file of work. Unit 1 evidence is a photo of a flip chart poster covering stages of planning a production, completed during a group discussion.   Unit 2 evidence can be found under each individual student listed with video evidence of some of their rehearsals and some video diary entries. Unit 3 evidence is also found on the individual student names - all except Harvey - as they discuss their strengths and weaknesses to add to work already in their folder.  Unit 3 group evidence is in the unit 3 section which includes a video of the final performance. Unit 4 includes evidence of the promotional campaign that was produced in support of the performance by all students.
