Dance school fully booked

SOLO, Central Java: The Indonesian School of Art (STSI) says
it has received more requests to perform than it can handle --
with four art festivals this year and three next year already on
the line.

The school's principle, Sri Hastanto, was quoted by the Antara
news agency as saying that they have not decided yet on which
festivals they would participate in.

He said STSI has been receiving invitations to perform over
the past few years, both from foreign sponsors and from the
Indonesian government.

Although they try hard to meet the requests -- aware that it
is a means of cultural promotion -- Hastanto admitted that
preparations for performances abroad were very time consuming and
only a limited number of performers have the potential or are
ready enough to participate, he said.(pwn)
