With
the assistance of an Australian Research Council grant, Flinders University is leading a group of
eight universities in developing a national database of Australian Theatre
Practice [abbreviated here to Australian Theatre Database Project or ATDP].
The project is supported by the Council of Heads of Australian University
Theatre Studies Institutions [CHAUTSI], the Australasian Drama Studies
Association [ADSA], and members of Museum Australia’s Performing Arts
Special Interest Group [PASIG].
Subject
to a review of its scope and approach during stage 1, the project consists of
the following components:
Paul Bentley was engaged by Flinders University to
report on information standards and initiatives relevant to the development of
a national database. The report was presented in two parts. Part 1
covered performing
arts information projects, database development issues and future action. Part 2 was a survey and directory of generic information standards,
frameworks and organisations.
With the permission of
Flinders University, the summary of performing arts information projects and
initiatives is published on our website. For further information on the
national database of Australian Theatre Practice, please contact Joh Hartog,
