MS 7629 Records of the Human Veins Dance Theatre
- Records 1979-1988
- 8 metres (58 boxes) + 12 folio items + 6 elephant folio items
- Available for reference
The Human Veins Dance Theatre records encompas the full range of dance
company activities - administrative and financial papers including details of
government grants, general and production files, publicity and reviews, a
collection of photograph albums, programmes, some art work, and videos and
cassettes. The collection provides a comprehensive record of the life of a
contemporary dance company.
Human Veins Dance Theatre was a small contemporary dance company formed
by Don Asker in November 1979. Asker had already made a name for himself as a
dancer and choreographer both in Australia and abroad, where he worked for some
years with the Nederlands Dans Theatre and as a freelance.
After touring for some months, the Human Veins Dance Theatre company
settled in Canberra, where Asker was a Creative Arts Fellow at A.N.U. for a
period in 1980. A home for the company and a studio were found in Gorman House,
Braddon.
Over the next eight years, Asker choreographed many works for Human
Veins, which performed regularly in Canberra as well as touring extensively in
NSW, Victoria and elsewhere and appearing at many festivals such as Expo '88.
Artists, musicians, composers and other dance companies collaborated with Human
Veins on several projects, and Asker gained a reputation for his innovative
approach to contemporary dance theatre. The company was regularly supported by
grants from the Australia Council and other government bodies.
At the end of 1988, when Don Asker took up a Churchill Fellowship for
study overseas, the Human Veins Dance Theatre was disbanded.

Series 1 Administrative records
This series comprises the following categories : Board,
personnel (including dancers), classes, studio bookings
and Gorman House. Within these categories, arrangement
is chronological.
Files on performers' contracts are also found in Series
5, Production Files.
Series 2 Letters
These files contain copies of letters from HVDT to other
people and organisations. The letter files were
sometimes used to keep copies of other company written
work, so Board minutes, brief reports etc may also be
found here.
Series 3 Financial records
All financial records are arranged in one chronological
sequence except for the files dealing with government
grants, which have their own chronological arrangement at
the end of the series (Boxes 22-25).
Series 4 Alphabetical subject files
These files are arranged alphabetically using their
original titles. This means that there are many
inconsistencies - for example some files under Melbourne
and some under Victoria, Melbourne - so it may be
necessary to scan all the file titles to ensure that all
papers on a given topic have been discovered. There is
also considerable overlap with other series - for example
publicity and reviews within or attached to subject files
might more properly appear in Series 6.
In some cases, the dates on the file title do not
correspond with the contents, and this is noted in the
list. At the end of the series (Box 41) there are
several unnamed/unidentified items. Many of the files no
longer in use by HVDT were wrapped in brown paper parcels
with the contents listed on the outside, and these
original wrappings are also in a folder at the end of the
series.
Series 5 Production files
The files on Les Noces/Oresteia are grouped together at
the beginning of this eries. They are followed by an
alphabetical arrangement for other productions (these
files are often undated) then a few general technical and
production files. There is some overlap between this
series and Series 4 (subject files) and also Series 5 for
example publicity files for individual productions are
here rather than there.
Series 6 Publicity and reviews, including art work
This series includes newspaper cuttings (many in albums),
press releases, company newsletters, art work for
brochures and programmes, and posters. Folio size theatre
and set designs are here too. Arrangement is
chronological, with undated or mixed date items together
with elephant folio material at the end of the series.
Some files dealing with publicity and reviews may also be
found in Series 4, with alphabetical subject files, and
in Series 5, if they refer exclusively to a particular
production.
Series 7 Photographs
This series consists mainly of photograph albums,
arranged chronologically where the dates are known. The
two principal photographers are Ross Gould and Jack
Asker. There are also separate photographs, mounted and
unmounted, negatives and a box of slides.
Series 8 Programmes
Included here are programmes of HVDT productions,
programmes of other productions with which HVDT was
associated, and other companies' productions.
Series 9 Printed materials, cassettes and videotapes
A small number of miscellaneous printed items found in
the collection are here, together with 31 cassettes and a
box of videotapes.
