THE WESTENDER.
“THAT TAKES OVARIES!” WONDER
WOMAN HOSTS A NIGHT OF CELEBRATING THE BRAVERY OF WOMEN … Performance
Artist Evelyn Hartogh will once again don one of her Wonder Woman costumes, as
she did at last year’s highly successful THAT TAKES OVARIES! OPEN MIKE event,
and will encourage women to share their experiences in a safe, supportive
environment. Sasha Jesperson from
Amnesty International Australia states, “All women are encouraged to share a
story, whether biological or not [and] men are encouraged to speak, but as this
event is about courageous women, they must share stories of bold women in their
lives; mothers, sisters, girlfriends, daughters”.
…THAT TAKES OVARIES! OPEN MIKE evenings are run all
around the world, originating from Rivka Solomon’s book THAT TAKES OVARIES! The
book is a collection of stories about brave, bold and brazen women who have had
the Ovaries! to face various challenges in life”

“Queensland wonder ... Evelyn Hartogh, who features in Views of
Queensland 2007 calendar.
As Courier Mail photographer
Rob Maccoll drove towards "Wonder Woman's West End headquarters" he
knew exactly the picture he would take.
A weathered apartment block, cutting a clear hot sky and fronted by
umbrella trees and airconditioning units, it would make the perfect backdrop
for "just a true Queensland character".
The character was Brisbane
entertainer Evelyn Hartogh
decked out in her loud Wonder Woman costume.
Her photograph is the September illustration of the Courier Mail's Views of
Queensland 2007 calendar.”

“When you mix a writer/historian who dabbles in
performance poetry with a performer whose range extends from opera to circus
you end up with a look at the world with the help of Barbie, Ken and
Wonderwoman [sic].
West End’s
Evelyn Hartogh and Cooparoo’s Mandy Curties met at university when
Hartogh was studying literature and Curties studying drama.
After going
their separate ways they reunited when Hartogh asked Curties to direct her
performance - most recently in Kick,
Kiss, Kill [sic].
“she would
stand up and do performance poetry. It
was clever stuff, funny and politically incisive,” Curties said.
Kick, Kiss,
Kill [sic] is three short acts as part of the Brisbane Festival Theatre
