This unit replaces 101091- Music Performance 3: Australian Repertoire. Through a series of lectures and workshops, students will pursue two main threads of practical study imperative to any working musician. The first is collaboration, which will be practised in workshops (with repertoire determined by lecturers) and probed in a written task. The second area of study is the development of a suite of onstage skills and strategies including physical gesture, audience communication and facility with musical equipment.

This unit replaces 101092 - Music Performance 4: The Composer-Performer. Students are required to both perform and compose in this unit. While students may choose to perform their own work, this unit also offers the opportunity for students to experience the particular challenges and rewards offered by the close collaboration entailed in both sides of the composer/performer interface. Each student will choose a balance of performance and composition tasks appropriate to her/his specific musical path. The unit presents basic compositional techniques and canvasses issues regarding the composer/performer relationship through a series of lectures, tutorials and workshops. Students will also continue to develop their event administration skills.

This unit replaces 101448 - Music Performance 5: Expanded Practice and 101144 - Digital Musics 5: New Performance and Practice. This unit offers students the opportunity to plan, prepare and perform a substantial artistically and technically challenging performance project as featured artist. Students are required to expand their performance practice by utilising electroacoustic and/or multimedia and/or theatrical elements. The repertoire will be self-directed and devised in consultation with the lecturer. Students will be exposed to current digital performance and interface technologies for software and hardware instruments and real time digital audio processing. The unit explores various notions of theatricality and extended music performance. Through a written task, students will consider their own work in the context of a survey of works in the field.

In this unit, students will draw on five semesters of Music Performance input to consider how they create their performance identities. Foremost in this consideration is the choice of repertoire undertaken to present an artistic statement in a performance of extended duration. This unit will demand and facilitate a high level of communication, both between players and between musician(s) and audience, advanced concert management and administration skills and a high standard of written work in which notions of identity and context will be examined.
