Call For Proposal: The Selection Results Announcement

The Call for Proposal 2007 Program selection procedures for theatre researches that will be carried during the year 2008 has been carried out well. During the submition periode which was open from May - July 2007 (extended to August 31, 2007), 35 proposals were sent to us. The number was surprising regarding to the common presumption attached to theater as a disolated world. And those who did the surprise are not only theater practioners, we also found observers and lecturers, even NGO activists sending their proposals. What's more interesting is that the brought up topics are rich and vary, such as: the creative process in the thought of a theater creation, traditional contents in contemporary theater, theater and the language pedagogy, the colleration between the interest on theater and the theater formal institution's curricullum, the tendencies of theater groups in a periode of time, and many more. These varities of thoughts are also looking well-to-do because of the minds that created them came from various places of Indonesia; Padang Panjang, Lampung, Palembang, Bandung, Banten, Purwokerto, Yogyakarta, Solo, Malang, and Jember.
