2016 marks the 25th anniversary for Croatia’s independence. As young nation, Croatia has undergone considerable, in part traumatic transformations, which have had significant socio-political, economic and cultural ramifications. The article aims to provide an understanding of the possibilities and impediments of urban and rural sustainable development in Croatia. It will explore the ways contestations over the turbulent past, the composite present and the uncertainty of future socio-economic and cultural developments repeatedly cast shadows in negotiations over development projects. With Croatia’s inclusion in the EU in 2013, Croatia provides a constructive test-case in analysing the challenges and potentials for steering towards sustainable development in a region with a recent history of conflict and instability. The many-sided consequences of the predominant tourism-based developments in post-war Dubrovnik are furthermore of global resonance as many of UNESCO’s world heritage sites increasingly share new urban, environmental and infrastructural challenges relating to tourism.

In this article an exploratory study of artistic research in music composition in Flanders (Belgium) is presented. More specifically, the interaction between artistic practice and research in master and doctoral research projects is examined. The results indicate that there are three gaps, one between the discourses on artistic research and results of artistic researchers on the other, another between the artistic practice and the research part and a last one between master and postmaster research. Next the author makes proposals to tackle these problems, improve the dissemination of research outputs and suggests to focus on a shared environment for composition research and the expression of an explicit design and method, in dialogue with existing knowledge fields in music composition.

The challenge of traditional dance to survive in a globalized world depends on the efforts of individual artists, groups and organizations based in local institutions, villages, and local festivals, and on popular entertainers..From a background as a Lanna (Northern Thailand) dancer, I studied how traditional dance is being transmitted and modernized in Japan and Indonesia. I introduce four artists from Japan and Indonesia with backgrounds in traditional dance who are trying to make their traditions contemporarily relevant. I describe some of the many forms that dance is taking in locations such as Mangkunegaran Palace in Surakarta, Indonesia and in so-called “Downtown Kabuki” in Osaka, Japan. Finally, I discuss my collaborations with artists in Japan and Indonesia in which we attempted to compare, contrast, or fuse our traditions. The long term aim of this work is to try to identify ways for traditional art forms to survive in an era of globalization.

Partnership for Change (PfC) provides programs and assistance to both urban and rural Myanmar communities to improve the economic and social opportunities for local business and community leaders. The PfC support model builds skills that lead to new economic options, especially for young adults starting new social enterprise ventures. An important aspect of the PfC community engagement model is the recognition and support of the arts and culture of the community. In both rural and urban Myanmar, PfC programs for art, music, and cultural literacy and heritage surround the practical skill building efforts, and enhance the vitality of the community. Pilot programs in smaller towns provide learning opportunities to refie and improve programs before broader implementation in more expensive urban settings. PfC programs include specifi music, art, literature, and cultural heritage programs, and the connections and integration between the programs demonstrate the positive benefis from the approach.

The formation of arts and cultural districts or clusters may be organic or planned (or a hybrid) but they often result in dislocation of those outside the district’s dominant cultural group or those without escalating economic capacity. Some districts primarily serve real estate development interests; some propel local artists and creative enterprises; some protect space for community cultural expression and make life better for existing residents. Few can mix more than one of these purposes but for a short time. This paper reviews six cultural districts in the United States, each at a different stage of a development continuum. In some cases district formation stabilizes a community, others transform or de-stabilize a community. Winners and losers are generally evident. The mix of local conditions, leadership, and policy choices determine their trajectory. Whether they evolve in ways that foster civic engagement and accrue political capital among a wide range of stakeholders determines the winners and losers.

The Urban Hum platform consists of hybrid theatrical, anthropological, urban and social presentations of deliberately chosen urban, public spaces that are presented as a performative game-structure containing the elements of theatre, dance, musical, stand–up and lecture. Urban Hum emphasizes historically rooted continuities (or discontinuities) of specifi locations, by creating a tool for artists, architects, urban planners, politicians and historians, in their rethinking and reconceptualization of the city as a vibrant, dynamic, and sustainable habitat, while aiming to serve the citizens in proposing and implementing their solutions. Urban Hum is looking for those type of creative solutions that will interlace historical signifi cance of each space, that is the important “urboglyph“ (hypertextual semantic of space) for the local community and contemporary and functional everyday experience. This platform is a continuation of Shadow Casters research in the urbanity, public patterns, dynamics and habits of coexistence, and presents innovative approach towards the urban dramaturgy/choreography, by fiding creative solution to urban challenges and partnerships. Shadow Casters is an artistic project that unites various media and a diversity of methods in a specifi creative exploration of different cities in the world.

This research project aimed to establish guidelines to develop traditional woven textiles in the Tai Yuan and Tai Lue style which is a renowned heritage art form from Thailand’s Lanna region for incorporation into contemporary living spaces. First, the unique characteristics of Tai Yuan and Tai Lue weaving were determined by specialists. Their analysis revealed that the uniqueness of Lanna textiles were the result of the combination of weaving techniques, materials, colors and patterns. Secondly, a survey of preferences for culture-based textile products was conducted by consumer orientated questionnaires administered to elicit contemporary pattern preferences. This survey revealed that respondents preferred culture-based textile products made in a modern style with contemporary patterns. With these fidings of consumer preferences and the study of the characteristics of Lanna textiles the author designed new patterns and applied them to a sample collection of decorative products for living rooms.

Pleng Ruang Puja Nakhon Nan is a new composition for Piphat ensemble that is based upon the sacred Puja drumming of the northern province of Nan. It was composed as the results of an ethnographic research project with fieldwork conducted during fifteen months in Nan province. The study aims to understand Nan musicians, beliefs, rituals, and performance practices of Puja drums. Master Yan Songmuangkean served as a key informant as well as nine monks who were highly respected in Nan for their Puja drumming. According to interviews with Puja drummers, the Buddhist teaching was transferred to drumming patterns as a teaching strategy to Buddhist laymen to be reminded of mankind’s illusion (sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch). Thus, the Pleng Ruang Puja Nakhon Nan composition, which combines traditional Nan music with Central Thai musical practice was inspired by the Buddhist concept of reality that is encoded in Puja drumming patterns found in Nan province
Pleng Ruang Puja Nakhon Nan是Piphat合奏的新作品,以北部省份Nan的神圣Puja鼓乐为基础。它是一个民族志研究项目的成果,在南省进行了15个月的实地调查。本研究旨在了解南族乐手、信仰、仪式和普加鼓的演奏方法。严松孟肯法师是重要的线人,还有九位僧人,他们的法会打鼓在南国很受尊敬。根据对法会鼓手的采访,佛教的教学被转移到打鼓模式,作为一种教学策略,以提醒佛教居士人类的错觉(视觉,听觉,味觉,嗅觉和触觉)。因此,Pleng Ruang Puja Nakhon Nan作曲,结合了传统的Nan音乐和泰国中部的音乐实践,灵感来自于在Nan省发现的Puja鼓乐模式中编码的佛教现实概念

This essay utilizes the extensive research developed for the documentary film, A Day in the Sun, and offers a focused case study of the relationship between arts-driven development practice (creative placemaking) and individual artists in the dense, micro-urban space of York, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. In doing so, it explores the relevance of narrative encounter and creation in understanding the motivations and actions of artists and those of practitioners or administrators in the arts development environment. Utilizing an interdisciplinary composition of research in economics, urban planning, organizational theory and arts development, as well as hours of the documentary’s raw and unedited audiovisual material, this essay explores storytelling as a viable means of understanding the relationship between artists and their creative urban spaces.
