'Founded in 2001, Currency House Inc. is a non-profit association open to all practitioners and supporters of the Australian performing arts, including theatre, film, television, music, and dance. Our aim is to stimulate, enrich, and advance the quality and enjoyment of the Australian performing arts by: being a continually expanding resource centre functioning as an accessible and vigorous forum and think-tank advocating and advancing the status and standards of the Australian performing arts in the media and with the public at large. Currency House meets regularly for background briefings and forums, seeks ways to activate our life as performing artists, encourages the exploration of theory and practice, commissions research to support debate on issues of professional concern and publishes works of record on the performing arts in Australia ' (Currency House website, sighted 22/11/2004:
