BPA Program Coordinator Dr Emma Killion said the FREE public performance would be the final production for this degree program, which will be phased out at the end of 2010.

Dr Killion said the final show would follow the concept of a 'bump out' which traditionally follows the run of a theatrical production. It will include live performances, video archive highlights and audience participation.

"Especially designed by students enrolled in the courses ‘Dance in Music Theatre' and ‘From Play to Performance' and staff involved with the BPA in its final year, BPA Unleashed features students who will have the distinction of being the last cohort to graduate from CQUniversity's Bachelor of Performing Arts degree program," Dr Killion said.

"This is a free public performance and seats are limited.  Why not get a group of friends together and enjoy what will be absolutely the final performance produced by the BPA student Company?"

To experience the final performance of this skilled company of performers and share a moment in CQUniversity's history, bookings can be made by contacting Dr Emma Killion 4923 2476.
