From July 15th 2000 to July 15th 2002, thanks to a generous collaborative grant awarded by the Getty Research Grant Program, a multidisciplinary project , involving archaeology, architecture, dance and art history was carried out in Oxford, London, Singapore and Java. The research team over that two year period was made up of the following people:
Dr Alessandra Lopez y Royo, Dance & Art Historian, Institute of Archaeology, University of Oxford
Terence Braun, Director, Braunarts, London
Assoc Prof. Pinna Indorf, Architectural Historian,NUS, Department of Architecture
G Swati Reddy, Architect, Research Assistant, NUS, Singapore
Assoc. Prof. John Miksic, Archaeologist, NUS Southeast Asian Studies Programme
G.Raghavendra Reddy, Visual designer & webmaster ICM, FASS, NUS
Prof. Dr. Edi Sedyawati, Dance &Art Historian, University of Indonesia, Jakarta
Mugiyono Kasido, Dancer and choreographer, Solo
Upali Nanda, NUS Department of Architecture, Research Scholar
A website was set up by NUS in 2002-2003 to disseminate the outcome of the research. That website has been taken off line. We are now in the process of re-uploading the material on these pages but we would like the new website to be an ongoing and interactive project, and we plan to include more recent material. Since 2002 most of the team members have been involved in further research which covers not only Prambanan, but other Southeast Asian sites too. The new website project involves myself (Alessandra), Pinna, Swati and Raghu (Raghavendra Reddy). We are no longer at the same institutions: I am at Roehampton University London, Pinna has left NUS but continues to have a research association with it, Raghu and Swati have moved to Australia. A major and highly dramatic event was the 2006 earthquake in Yogyakarta, which left Prambanan in a pretty sorry state. The site is no longer open to the public and there are insufficient funds to engage in restoration work. When we did our research at Prambanan in 2000, we were able to document it in full. We want to share that material, it will be of use to others. It will take some time to have everything online. We hope you will visit these pages frequently enough and bear with us while we proceed with our virtual restoration and recreation of Prambanan in cyber space.
