Endslate 2018: QUT Film, Screen & Animation Students
From the 2018 program " Welcome to this special screening of our graduating students’ work.
Each film you see tonight is a team effort. Driven by a passion to tell stories and to become masters of their craft, each member of the team has made a valuable contribution towards the final result you see on the screen. Enthusiasm, commitment and a respect for each other are just a few of the qualities that they have had to draw upon to bring these projects to life.
At QUT we value the unique and distinctive voice of each student and hope they will continue to bring a freshness of vision and approach to all their work in the future. Please feel free to stay and talk with the students at the end of this screening"

Dance 18, 40th Anniversary Season, 30 October - 3 November 2018
Program from the second semester 2018 dance performance by Queensland University of Technology Dance Students.
From the 2018 program:
"Welcome to Dance ‘18—the end of year performance season that celebrates our graduating students as they undertake the final stages of their transition into the dance profession. 2018 is a particularly special year, as it
marks the 40th anniversary of the founding of dance training at QUT and its predecessor institution.
Dance has always been integral to our culture, but it is also important to recognise that the land on which we stand has been a site for Indigenous Australian dance and culture for at least 60,000 years, and so tonight we respectfully
acknowledge its traditional custodians and their Elders both past, present and emerging.
For the young artists you will see tonight, it is a culmination of three years’ worth of learning, commitment
and hard work—technically, artistically, and developmentally—as they seek to hone their skills and to
formulate their values and beliefs about who they are and how they might contribute to the cultural life of
their communities.
Throughout their time at QUT they have been challenged by diverse choreographers in a range of new and restaged creative works. For this season, the third-years have been privileged to work with QUT graduate and Bangarra Dance Company member Daniel Riley, as well as independent Australian choreographer Adam Blanch.
For the first-year and second-year students involved, this season gives them a great opportunity to develop their performance and stagecraft skills, operating in a similar fashion to a professional dance
company. This has included working with two wonderful choreographers, international guest artist Yasim
Coronado Veranes, and Expressions Dance Company artist Scott Ewen.
This is also a moment to acknowledge the many people that are critical to getting our students and
Dance ‘18 up on stage and performing out in public: QUT Precincts, Technical Production students and
staff, QUT/CIF Marketing, QUT Media, the School of Creative Practice, and the wonderful Dance staff
whose commitment to the success of their students is an inspirational story in its own right.
We are also very grateful to you, our audience members, for your patronage, support, and encouragement of our students—particularly those family and friends who have shared the long and sometimes difficult journey with them, and have witnessed their wonderful development first hand. I am very grateful to lead a great team of professionals who have contributed significantly to the learning journeys of all our students over many years—students of whom we are very proud!
We hope you enjoy the show.

Crest: QUT Visual Arts: Honours Graduate Exhibition 2018
On behalf of the teaching staff in Visual Arts I would like to congratulate the 2018 Bachelor of Fine Arts (Visual Arts) graduates for Crest. This show not only displays artwork produced during your final year of study, but also represents the culmination of years of hard work and dedication. This is a time in which you have acquired skills in art making and professional practice in contemporary art, and a time in which you have offered support to each other as a ‘creative community’ as you have learned
and grown together as artists.
The exhibition title Crest is particularly apt in this regard. A crest can be an emblem that symbolizes an identity and/or a set of achievements, and represents a sense of belonging that can be promoted with pride. It can also represent a summit, a high level of achievement; a high point or a peak moment; and a culmination of activity after considerable efforts. These attributes are all relevant to
what you have achieved during your visual arts degree.
These accomplishments have been earned in QUT’s Open Studio art teaching program that foregrounds art thinking related to speculative inquiry, conceptual proficiency, self-directed practice, and a transmedia approach to creative practice. Studio critiques, discussions, and an engagement
with art history and theory have all supported your skills as artists and professionals in preparation for a career in the arts. During this period, you have met and overcome constant challenges while striving to always do better and have reached a level of creative expertise that gives you the confidence to apply your talents in the art industry and contemporary art.
I wish to thank Visual Arts’ teaching staff for their efforts and can add that we all feel a great deal
of pleasure seeing how much you have gained during these last three years. We see Crest as a
demonstration of your talents as artists, as well as a showcase that displays your potential for
achieving even more in the future.
