Context
In this final major project, you are going to be working in a simulated industry environment, with all levels of performing arts, to create a collaborative performance project.
Throughout the next 12 weeks you will undertake the production of Footloose Youth Edition to be performed to a public audience. You will work with various different people and collaborate within both performance and production roles for the production.
In this project you will bring through all of the techniques and skills learnt in the previous units to this performance, in order to complete your course of study.
Task 1 - Project Proposal
For the first task you are required to create a project proposal that clearly states:
​
1. Your chosen role within the musical from a performance or production aspect.
​
2. Your project timeline for the 12 weeks
​
3. Who you are going to work with?
​
4. How you plan to achieve your roles.
1.1 - Analyse the requirements and parameters of a collaborative performance project.
2.2 - Interpret research to develop ideas and effectively communicate creative proposals.
You will need to undertake an independent research enquiry into the project and your chosen roles within the project.
Learners must find relevant research sources that will help inform and develop their role.
​
Learners should make clear links to how you have used this research to inform your work, include referencing and bibliography.
Learners must include multi media within their presentation, for example: Pictures, Videos 
Task 2 - Research
2.1 - Review a range of research sources to support the production of a performance project
