 The [[Centre for South African Theatre Research]] (Acronym: [[CESAT]]) was an archive and documentation centre as well as a research facility and clearinghouse housed in the [[Institute for Languages, Literature and Arts]] of the [[Human Sciences Research Council]] (1979-1989).
 == Origins ==
-[[Patrica Ann Terry]] [[Patrica Ann Lambert]]
 The centre derives from the [[National Documentation Centre for the Performing Arts]] (1971-1978). In 1979, on the retirement of [[Rinie Stead]],  the [[HSRC]] appointed [[Temple Hauptfleisch]] as head and researcher with the commission to expand it into a far more active  research centre. It was then renamed the '''Centre for South African Theatre Research  (CESAT)''' and, while it continued collecting archival material on South African theatre and performance under the curatorship of  [[Astrid Schwenke]] (née [[Astrid Schüler]]) and [[Joey Fourie]], the centre now also undertook a number of specific research projects. Other [[CESAT]] staff members over the years included [[Paddy Terry]], [[Eunice Reynecke]], [[Wilma Viljoen]], [[Celéste van Greunen]], [[Lina Coetzer]] and [[Elma Young]].
-== The CESAT Collection ==
+== The [[CESAT]] Collection ==
 This refers to the vast collection of theatre materials originally collected by the [[National Documentation Centre for the Performing Arts]] (1971-1979) and continued by the [[Centre for South African Theatre Research]] ([[CESAT]] – 1979-1989). When the HSRC moved to their own building in 198*, the four arts research centres combined their material in what became known as the [[South African Centre for Information on the Arts]] ([[SACIA]]), housed in a specially designed archival store. However, in a very controversial move by  the [[HSRC]], all the material in the arts collections (theatre, ballet, music and visual arts) held by the [[Human Sciences Research Council]], was handed over to the [[National Archives of South Africa]], Hamilton Street, Pretoria, in 1992, to be housed in the section formerly known as the [[National Film and Video Archives]].
-== The CESAT Research ==
+== The [[CESAT]] Research ==
 The research undertaken included studies by [[Temple Hauptfleisch]] and [[Eunice Reynecke]] of research methodology in the performing arts (e.g. Hauptfleisch 198* and 198*, Reynecke 198*), studies on the history of theatre (e.g [[Rinie Stead]]’s unpublished history of the [[National Theatre Organisation]] (1980), Hauptfleisch 1984a, Schwenke, 198*), studies on the sociology of theatre and theatre attendance (e.g Hauptfleisch 198*, 198*, 198*) and source guides on theatre in general and on specific topics (e.g. Viljoen, 198*, Hauptfleisch, Schuler and Van Greunen, 198*). The Centre also undertook focussed research on theatre in education over an extended period, with [[Paddy Terry]] and [[Temple Hauptfleisch]] as researchers in this field and served as secretariat for the [[SA Association for Drama and Youth Theatre]] ([[SAADYT]]), editing and publishing the [[SAADYT Journal]] for a number of years. Between 1986 - 1987 the Centre also provided the editorial offices for the newly launched [[South African Theatre Journal]] ([[SATJ]]), founded and edited by [[Temple Hauptfleisch]] and [[Ian Steadman]].
