Indonesian Art High School
(STSI)
The Regional Government of Bali in 1967 first
established STSI. To train a new generation of artists and scholars to help preserve,
study and develop the performing arts of Bali. It became a national institute in 1969, and
since then has been administered by the Directorate General Of Higher Education And
Culture. The curriculum offers dance, music and shadow puppetry. Undergraduate students
can attain a Sarjana Muda Bachelor of Arts degree, and there is graduate program that
awards a Master of Arts degree, Seniman Seni Tari.
A new curriculum is being prepared for the future incorporation of the academy into the
Art Institution of Indonesian, (ISI) which will result in the elevating of this school to
the level of a State University.
A key role in the annual Bali Arts Festival is laid by the students of STSI, who create
extra vaganza dance each year that are extremely popular with Balinese audiences.
Performing groups from the Academy are often called upon to give presentations for
visiting dignitaries. Strong ties with institutions in other countries, The Ford
Foundation and The Asian Cultural Council among others, have led to a number of
opportunities for study courses in the United States for M.A and Ph.D. levels.
STSI located at Nusa Indah Street and beside of Art center in order
to the Arrangement of Bali Art Festival, at STSI is also arranged the place of Art
Performance, exhibition place and another activities as long as event is taken place. |
