Background

Content Summary:

Material in the Australian performing arts programs and ephemera (PROMPT) collection consists of programs and related items for Australian performing arts organisations, Australian artists performing overseas, professional productions performed in Australia (including those featuring overseas performers) and overseas performances of Australian plays, music, etc.

A Chorus of Women is an open group of women singers who present an expanding repertoire of original songs and spoken texts, and have performed at public occasions in Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and also in Europe. The group's mission statement describes how the group gives voice to "matters at the heart of our communities, weaving integrity, compassion and respect for the Earth into Australian democracy." The group formed when some some 150 women filled the Australian Parliament on 18 March 2003, the day Australia's intention to invade Iraq was announced.
