The Creative Practice Lab (CPL) is a specialist performing arts unit within UNSW Arts & Social Sciences that supports creative processes and their outcomes. The CPL works closely with students and programs a range of inspiring events throughout the year.

At UNSW Arts Social Sciences we help you find new ways to tap into your creative potential. Our dynamic Arts and Media courses invite you to create links across our disciplines, to combine intellectual exploration with practical experimentation.

2015 Student Performances

The 60s gave us many great things... technicolour, public love, cool space suits, massive protests people actually went to, and Václav Havel’s The Memorandum. This hilarious Czech play about office politics has been given a 21st century revamp and will leave you wondering... how far have we really come in 50 years? This major production evolves from the Theatre and Performance Studies course, Staging the Text.

A deliciously striking mix of experimental animation from students, past and present. Delightful and innovative works of art, short stories and movement studies that are raw, inventive, touching, and funny. Animation Frappe! is a refreshing blend of animation techniques including stop motion, hand drawn, claymation, silhouette, collage, pixelation, and so many more.

Performers in the Bachelor of Music present a repertoire that explores contrasts of texture, timbre and time. Our Media students create an evocative backdrop of subtle screen-based designs to complement the performed works.

Exploring contemporary performance practices, Theatre and Performance Studies students devise short solo pieces developed throughout the semester. The result is two separate evenings of short artist-generated works.

Video Project introduces students to the research, creation, development and circulation of screen-based digital narratives. Students work with low budgets, but high concepts, to express themselves cinematically, exploring narrative storytelling and dramatic experimentation where they conceive and realise an entire film from start to finish.

An exhibition exploring the future of interactive technologies. Students of the Media course, Bodies and Interfaces, present new interfaces using a range of sensors combined with sound, video and lighting. Each prototype interface re-imagines the relationship between the human body and the computer.

Theatre and Performance students create group-devised ensemble pieces. Beginning with an idea and bodies in a space, a series of truly original works emerge over the semester.

Get practical

Our lecturers use practice based learning principles; that is, the incorporation of practical work into traditionally theory based subjects. Think of practice based learning as theorising about real events and providing solutions, conducting research studies, putting together professional portfolios or producing performance texts like plays, exhibitions or video projects.

Of course our professionally accredited degrees, the Bachelor of Social Work (Honours) and the Bachelor of Education, have compulsory field placements within them to make sure you have the practical skills you need to enter the profession straight after your degree.

My work placements set me up for my career. They gave me the experience I needed to get my foot in the door.”

Our students see the world a little differently to most. We love it when our students take up the challenge to make a significant difference in the lives of others. Our students impress us every day with their ability to look beyond their own lives and change the world in small and large ways.

Meet a couple of our change makers…. “I was granted the Explorer Award that rewards student leadership, social conscience and just a general interest in academia, so I adored the emphasis that UNSW Arts & Social Sciences had on the social change aspect of life… I’m very passionate about social issues. You want a university that values what you value and that respects what you respect in this world and mirrors that. I’ve loved every moment of UNSW life.”

“I was pretty lucky, I was part of the UNSW delegation to NMUM, the National Model UN in New York in the United Nations… I guess what motivates me is change and the potential to do some good in the world. I can go literally anywhere with my degree, with my major and my courses, and hopefully I will choose to go in a direction which allows me to make someone else’s life a little bit more fortunate than it is today.”

The Bachelor of International Studies challenges you to examine the dynamics of global and regional change, explore key developments in international relations and economics, and evaluate the implications of globalism. With this knowledge you will debate issues of nationalism, political sovereignty, social change, multiculturalism, and transnational interaction.
