Drama students from the Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music within the Faculty of Education and Creative Arts have been pushing the boundaries with their latest batch of experimental theatre pieces.

Drama lecturer Howard Cassidy said the theatre pieces were tailored with special audiences in mind, and some items featured unusual settings.

A tent in a suburban backyard was the setting for a confronting piece entitled 'Birthday Domestic Violence' .

Another offering included a disrupted spectacle piece on homophobia and homosexual love, featuring a movie screening plus live acting, contrasted taboos and audience members isolated from one another.

In 'Women's Secret Business', an invited audience of male footballers was exposed to an honest journey into the female mind.

A solo act piece featured three stages and a purpose-made film via which the live actor was able to interact with himself.

A piece about death was staged at Haven Beach at midnight.

Another piece call 'The Gamemaster' pitted a gamemaster bent on fear and manipulation against an audience of competing teams, in a darkened arena, with male-female couples split on to different teams.
