Administrative / Biographical history
Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pram_Factory
The Pram Factor was an alternative theatre venue established in Carlton, Victoria in 1970. It became a base for Australian intellectual, artistic and political figures, most significantly The Australian Performing Group (APG). The resulting counter-cultural artistic community launched a new wave in Australian performing arts as well as the careers of many actors, writers, directors, musicians, artists, designers, poets, photographers, circus performers and filmmakers including Helen Garner, David Williamson, Max Gillies and Bruce Spence. The Pram Factory venue was demolished in 1980 but it's associated performing groups continued into the late 1990s. Film Australia created the documentary film 'The Pram Factory' (Anna Grieve & James Manche, Australia, 1994) discussing the history and impact of the community with its original members.
