| For year | 2020 |
| Submission to NZQA | Wednesday 28 October 2020 |
Format of the assessment
Evidence is to be presented as a portfolio consisting of:
- a recording of the candidate's own choreography and performance
- written and visual evidence.
The recording
The recording will:
- be produced as an mp4 file
- include one dance of 2–5 minutes, choreographed by the candidate. This choreography must be a complete work. The choreography may be a solo, duet, or group dance and may be work that has been assessed for Level 3 Dance achievement standards 91588 or 91589
- include, in addition to the dance above, a further total of 2–5 minutes of dance performance: one complete dance or excerpts from one or more dances and/or dance genres, performed by the candidate. The performance(s) may be a solo, duet, or group dance and may be performance work that has been assessed for Level 3 Dance achievement standards 91590, 91591, and/or 91592
- be recorded as one static camera long shot with minimal editing.
Written and visual evidence
The written and visual evidence:
- will be limited to the equivalent of 18 single-sided A4 pages, inclusive of the introduction and contents pages (additional pages will not be assessed) with font size set at the rough equivalent of Arial 12
- will consist of written reflection, and may include sketches, photographs, diagrams, etc
- will include an introductory page and a contents page, listing headings and page numbers
- must include reflections on the choreographic processes and products (conceptualising, producing and evaluating choreographic decisions, e.g. selecting a stimulus, choosing relevant technologies, developing a choreographic intention, choosing an appropriate style or styles, and choosing a method to produce movement)
- must include reflections on performance processes and products (e.g. learning, practising, interpreting, refining movements, applying expressive qualities, and evaluating and working with aspects of technology that contribute to a performance).
Assessment
The three aspects that are assessed for Scholarship are the choreography, the reflection on the choreography, and the reflection on the performance. These all have equal weighting. The performance excerpts are not assessed but do provide a context for the reflections on performance.
Submission and authenticity requirements
Submission instructions and authenticity requirements will be provided at the start of Term 2.
The submission of the recording will be via a cloud platform identified by NZQA in the submission instructions. The non-recorded material (written and visual material) may be submitted as in previous years or may be submitted as a digital file via the cloud platform.
