Funding discussion circa. 1974
Sophie Cunningham
January 06
I was struck, as I often am, by how little some debates change, when I was reading about the Pram Factory. Here is an extract from Pram Factory Meeting minutes in 1974. (Found here).
14/9/74
Then discussion of the grant received and application to Arts Council. A lot of soul searching about grants from Liberals or Labours.
Lindzee: we’re really into a capitalist growth thing that we could abandon…
Cummins: we can’t practice politics out there and not compromise what we do in theatre.
Michael Price: if the Libs got into power you'd still take money from them.

That's a very cool source. Thank you. And by the way, congratulations (belatedly) on the digitising of the whole of Meanjin. That's super also. I will check out the public library subs arrangements and highlight its availability to the home reader at some point.
