Purpose: This study is related to the use of village funds for fiscal year 2022 to support food security at the village level and form of activities. Research methodology: The research was conducted in four villages in Glagah Lamongan District. Survey and questionnaire methods were used, and data were analyzed quantitatively and depicted in the form of tables and diagrams. Results: All villages budget for activities related to food security because of the 20% rule of the village government. The activities carried out by the village government related to food security are physical and non-physical. Limitations: This study was conducted in four villages in the Glagah sub-district, and the form of activity was carried out in 2022. Contribution: This study contributes data on the forms of activities in the village that are related or associated with village-level food security efforts. The Ministry of Village Affairs, as a policy maker for the use of village funds, can emphasize the purpose of village-level food security, because each village has different capabilities. The district level Village Community Empowerment Office (DPMD) is an extension of the Ministry of Villages of the Republic of Indonesia and the Fisheries Office of Lamongan Regency regarding the potential of fisheries in the Glagah Lamongan area. Novelty: There is a maximum and minimum limit of what percentage of 20% of the village fund budget is in the form of empowerment; before empowerment activities, the village government is required to create an activity roadmap that includes the form of activities and the amount of costs, what is the next year's budget plan, and what output, so that empowerment activities do not change each year and there is no follow-up.

Purpose: This paper explores the contributions of Sarah Kane and Mark Ravenhill to contemporary theatre. It focuses on their themes of despair, desire, and dissent. The paper highlights how both playwrights challenge societal norms, represent psychological trauma, and offer critiques of modern life. Research methodology: This study uses qualitative literary analysis of selected plays by Kane and Ravenhill. It compares their treatments of despair, desire, and dissent. The analysis is informed by critical theory, psychological theory, and postmodern critiques of capitalist society. Results: The study finds that both playwrights use stark imagery and confrontational dialogue. They depict psychological and social alienation. Kane’s plays show despair through fragmented, disorienting structures. Ravenhill critiques the commodification of human relationships using dark humour and absurdity. The paper shows that while both playwrights address similar themes, their approaches differ. Kane’s work is introspective, exploring trauma and emotional collapse. Ravenhill’s plays focus on societal pressures that shape desires. Conclusions: Sarah Kane and Mark Ravenhill critique the alienating forces in contemporary society. Their theatre challenges audiences to confront uncomfortable truths about human existence. Through their innovative forms and content, they remain central to contemporary theatre. They continue to influence how we think about pain, desire, and resistance in the arts.
