Creative Practice & Research Unit

The School of English, Media and Performing Arts (EMPA) has excellent production resources and facilities including the Creative Practice and Research Unit. The CPRU is a specialised production unit within EMPA that supports teaching and practice-led research across a diverse range of disciplines. We also manage the School's performance venues, rehearsal spaces, dance studios and technical resources.

Venues and Hires

The School is a rich environment for creative practice. Much of the live performance and cross media work created by students in our courses is presented in our much-prized venue the Io Myers Studio.

Besides presenting a rich array of student work, the Io Myers Studio regularly has showings by resident artists, peek previews of creative developments for many shows that hit venues such as the Sydney Opera House and Performance Space and much much more!

So make the most of it, as a creator, scholar, researcher, performer or spectator!

Stay in touch with CPRU and EMPA events by making sure you are signed up to our newsletter. This regularly contains industry opportunities along with information and special offers for other performances and events around Sydney.
