IDEA draws its contributions from academics and practitioner-researchers at the interface of the performing arts. It acts as a forum for critical study, innovative practice, and creative pedagogy, addressing themes that may be domain-specific (e.g., dance, music, theatre, puppets, karawitan, ethnomusicology, culture and arts) or situated at the convergence of two or more disciplines. The journal invites original, significant, and rigorous inquiry into all subjects within or across disciplines related to the performing arts. It encourages debate and cross-disciplinary exchange across a broad range of approaches. The spectrum of topics includes Ethnomusicology, Karawitan, Music, Music Education, Dance, Theatre, Puppet, and Arts education.
