UBC is a place brimming with bright students, each talented in their own interests – and the performing arts is no exception. Last Thursday night marked the first UBC Studio Sessions, which rallied all the different facets of the performing arts.

Presented and organized by UBC Arts & Culture District, the session was an opportunity to recognize, appreciate, and celebrate all the creative talent amongst UBC students. From Black Vinyl Project to UBC Musical Theatre Troupe to Rappers Without Borders UBC, the night was filled with bone-chilling and hauntingly beautiful performances.

For many students who attended and participated, the event was a good chance to take a breather from midterm season, showcase their UBC school spirit, and create a sense of belonging.
