Themed “Between the Language of Theater Performance and the Language of Film,” this public lecture presented Adi Pranajaya as the guest speaker.
Starting at 07.30, the public lecture was attended by all third-semester Bastrindo students who are also taking Drama and Theatre courses this semester. Apart from students, several Bastrindo lecturers also attended the public lecture.
Adi Pranajaya, who is a veteran and experienced in the world of theater and film, aroused the enthusiasm of students with the material presented. He explained that the language of performance art in theater or film is an art that results from literary communication in the field of theater/film and is produced by an artist who must understand the medium of communication.
“In the creative corridor, there are the terms Autur Artist and Collective Artist. An autur artist is someone who specializes in painting, sculpting, etc. While a collective artist is someone who also specializes in theater and film. While a collective artist is someone who has expertise in theater and film.” Obviously the son of NTB who comes from West Sumbawa.
This public lecture provoked the attention of many students to actively ask questions. Saharani, a Unram student who attended the public lecture, asked about how much time should be prepared so that the process in making the work can be said to be good. “To get good results, it must go through a special and long process. Even a lecturer or a person with a high position, if he only understands the theory but is not accompanied by practice and experience, he will not be able to maximize his understanding of what theater or film performance art is.” Adi Pranajaya replied.
After the question and answer session, the public lecture ended at 10:00. “Great work is work that is born from great people too,” said Adi Pranajaya, ending his general lecture.
