Croatia Association of Theatre Critics and Theatre Scholars (; or HDKKT) is a professional, nonprofit organization for Croatian theater scholars and critics.
History
The association was founded on 22 October 1975 at its founding assembly in Zagreb and registered into the Civil Association Register on 9 March 1976.
HDKKT is a member of the International Association of Theatre Critics (AICT/IACT) and collaborates with the International Federation for Theatre Research (FITR/IFTR). It was founded with a goal to develop and promote the quality of the profession, cooperation with other similar associations and theatres in Croatia and abroad, and to protect the moral and material interests of its members. The association's structure comprises: Assembly, Executive Committee and President, Supervisory Committee, and Court of Honour. The association was first based at Ilica 42 and later at AmruÃ
¡eva Street 19, in Zagreb. It has about 50 active members and 15 retired, and since 2013 dance critics are also admitted.
The association is funded by Croatia's Ministry of Culture. Shortly after its foundation, HDKKT launched Theatrology Library (Teatrologijska biblioteka) with Nikola BatuÃ
¡iàas editor in chief, and from 1979 till 1992 thirty-three titles were published. In 1994 Theatrology Library merged with Library Prolog (Biblioteka Prolog), former CKD, which was inherited by AGM (Zagreb). The new library was named Actor's Booklet Prolog (GlumiÃ
¡na knjiÃ
¾nica Prolog) with an editorial board of Nikola BatuÃ
¡iÃÂ, Branko HeÃÂimoviàand Igor MrduljaÃ
¡. From 1992 till 1997 the library published eleven books in cooperation with AGM, after which AGM completely took over the publishing activities.
In the 1980s, the association introduced the Award for the Best Play of the Season through a members' survey.
Demeter's Award
Since 2012, HDKKT has awarded the Demeter's Award for Lifetime Achievement. The first one was awarded to one of the founders of HDKKT, president, historian and theatrologist , in 2012; the second wnet to secretary general, president, critic and theatrologist in 2013; and the third went to theatrologist, critic, educator and president of HDKKT . The Demeter Award is awarded on the day of publication of Dimitrija Demeter's critique of the first professional play in Croatian, Juran i Sofija by Ivan KukuljeviÃÂ Sakcinski, in the journal Danica ilirska on 13 July 1840, which is considered the beginning of the Croatian theatre criticism.
