Live Performance Australia

Live Performance Australia (LPA) is the peak body for Australia’s live entertainment and performing arts industry.

We have worked on many projects with the LPA, including advice on their membership database design and development, a membership insurance scheme and an administration internship. We also project manage each year their Ticketing Attendance and Revenue Survey.

One project initiated several years ago is the Hall of Fame. This is a collection of biographies of "actors and directors, playwrights and designers, singers and instrumentalists, comedians and dancers, circus performers and puppeteers, theatre architects and entrepreneurs, and even a critic or two".

Every year at the LPA Helpmann Awards, one or more people are inducted into the Hall of Fame. Many of the biographies have been written by Frank Van Straten.

Our job was to categories the 100 or so biographies alphabetically and by decade. There is also a search facility on site. We used the photographs of the people to display the selections.
