Queensland Academies Creative Industries

iHuman - An exploration of student individuality and sense of self through film production. Queensland Academies Creative Industries Campus (QACI) would like to invite you to the Year 10 Film Showcase - iHuman. QACI Year 10 students are currently finalising the creation of their first major film piece to be shown on the big screen for friends and family to bask in the glory and enjoy! The films contain specialised composition techniques, image layering, colouring, screen manipulation and sound mixing to create unique representations of each student's view of themselves. It is an expressive video art project that encourages experimentation with visual story-telling, allowing the students to explore their individuality and sense of self through their art. 
 Thursday 7 August, 6:30pm Films to be shown in the QACI Theatre Level 2, 61 Musk Avenue Kelvin Grove

Join us for Arriving at…, the 2025 Queensland Academies Creative Industries Dance production, showcasing original works from Year 10, 11 and 12 students. This vibrant program features postmodern group choreography, contemporary and reimagined duets, and thought-provoking ensemble pieces. Year 12 students present both revisited and new works, culminating in a self-devised group dance. Year 11 explores the theme of “airport” through the lens of postmodern pioneers such as Merce Cunningham, Pina Bausch, Twyla Tharp and Lloyd Newson. Year 10 students respond to greetings and farewells, creating emotive duets inspired by audio, visual, and textile stimuli. Throughout Terms 2 and 3, students have challenged traditional dance expectations, focusing on intention, communication, and creative risk-taking. Arriving at… celebrates the artistic growth, collaboration, and bold expression of QACI’s emerging choreographers and performers.

Join us for the highly anticipated Year 12 Visual Arts Opening Night at QACI, where the talents of our graduating Visual Arts students take centre stage. This dynamic showcase presents the culmination of two years of rigorous research, conceptual development, and studio practice, as students emerge as thoughtful and provocative young artists. Their work spans a range of contemporary themes and media, exploring the complexity of social, historical, cultural, and environmental issues through a deeply personal lens. This inspiring evening will feature a special opening address by renowned artist Vernon Ah Kee, whose own practice challenges and redefines narratives around race, identity, and Australian history. His presence will set the tone for a night that celebrates the power of artistic inquiry and expression. Our commitment to fostering curious and creative thinker through the IB Diploma Programme is reflected in the bold and insightful voices of these graduating artists.
