Supported by the School of Communication and Arts, UQ DRAMA: EXAMINING, EXPERIENCING, AND CREATING THEATRE brings you Lewis Carroll's classic ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND.

The School of Communication and Arts celebrates the remarkable achievement of recent graduate Derek Yang, whose romantic comedy "The Wing Girl" has been released on Amazon Prime Video—a milestone rarely achieved by emerging filmmakers.
While completing his Bachelor of Secondary Education, Derek utilized SCA's extensive resources to bring his cinematic vision to life. From borrowing professional camera equipment to filming in the school's TV studio and experimenting with green screen technology, he maximized every opportunity the school provided. The guidance and technical support from the Media Production and Studies (MaPS) team proved instrumental in developing his craft.
"The Wing Girl" has garnered international recognition, screening at ten film festivals including the Oslo International Film Festival and winning Best Comedy at the Clown International Film Festival in Paris. Now teaching at Marsden State High School, [Name] continues to pursue his passion for filmmaking, with his latest drama "Violet" set to premiere soon.
This achievement reflects the real-world impact of SCA's hands-on approach to media education and demonstrates how our resources can launch careers in unexpected directions.

The new publication is the chapter ‘Dance, Immersivity, and Translation in Punchdrunk’s The Burnt City’ by Dr Emma Cole which is part of the edited collection Translation in the Performing Arts: Embodiment, Materiality, and Inclusion (ed. by Enza De Francisci and Cristina Marinetti).
