UBD To Hold Seminar On Malay Drama Literature
By Azrol Azmi

Bandar Seri Begawan - Both drama and theatre provide a means of understanding the human life from various aspects. However, in regard to literature, they have not garnered as much attention as they should.

In view of this, the Department of Malay Literature, Faculty of Arts and Social. Science, Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) has decided to organise a seminar entitled `Seminar Kesusasteraan: Drama Melayu di Nusantara' which carries the theme `Drama Sebagai Wadah Pembangunan Manusia dan KemajuanNegara.'

The seminar will be held at the UBD Chancellor Hall Senate Room from November 7 to 8. The event will put forward local and foreign scholars with expertise in this area.

They will present their ideas and new discoveries, as well as encourage drama enthusiasts - such as script and performance art writers - to share their knowledge in line with the theme of the seminar.

The seminar will benefit the participants - which will include teachers, UBD undergraduates, students, writers and drama enthusiasts - by enriching their understanding, experience and knowledge in these areas.

This will subsequently ensure drama activities in Brunei Darussalam will gain more attention and thus develop in line with other countries.

Registration is open to all interested parties at a fee of $30 for members of the public and $15 per student.

Interested parties are advised to sign up during the Registration Session on Monday, November 6, between 2 pm and 4.30 pin at the UBD Meeting Room 1.89, First Floor, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.

For further information, interested parties can contact the Secretariat at 2463001(ext 1481, 1918) or fax 2461528.
