ABSTRACT This research was carried out with the aim of understanding the existence of Sesandaran Dance, which until now is still sustainable in the midst of the hectic tourist attraction of Tanjung Benoa Bali. Although many tourists are interested in watching the Sesandaran Dance Show, the local community seems to not be interested in commercialising the dance for tourism. This research was conducted using qualitative methods. All primary and secondary data, which were obtained directly in the field through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and FGDs with related informants, were analysed using aesthetic theory, religious theory, and relation theory of knowledge power. The research findings showed that the people in the traditional village of Tanjung Benoa perform Sesandaran Dance in the form of a drama, and the local society continues to preserve the Sesandaran Dance until now because it is based on religious ideology, self-actualisation ideology and cultural preservation ideology in this global era.

Method of study was needed in order to get factual answers and ratio. The steps taken were through a direct approach to the respondents and informants who were supported by the library data, documentation which were combined with non-participation observation data. All of this data were analyzed as carefully as possible. In this study, the result showed that there were three things that could answer the problems that exist, namely: (1) Dudonan/ sequence of Sabha Kuningan ceremony was quite a lot so that it could not be held in one day; (2) The ceremony system consisted of three parts, namely the preparation stage, the top ceremony, and pengelemek; (3) Beside having religious functions, the Sabha Kuningan ceremony also had socio-cultural, psychological and economic functions. From the results of this study, the suggestions could be delivered to the people in Cempaga village. They had to keep preserving their customs because they were part of national culture, so that they could carry out the teachings of the Tri Hita Karana concept properly.

  • Performance in Bali
    Performance in Bali Performance in Bali brings to the attention of students and practitioners in the twenty-first century a dynamic performance tradition that has fasci- nated observers for generations. Leon Rubin and I Nyoman Sedana, both international theatre professionals as well as scholars, collaborate to give an understanding of performance culture in Bali from inside and out. The book describes four specific forms of contemporary performance that are unique to Bali: • Wayang shadow-puppet theatre • Sanghyang ritual trance performance • Gambuh classical dance-drama • the virtuoso art of Topeng masked theatre. The book is a guide to current practice, with detailed analyses of recent theatrical performances looking at all aspects of performance, production and reception. There is a focus on the examination and description of the actual techniques used in the training of performers, and how some of these techniques can be applied to Western training in drama and dance. The book also explores the relationship between improvisation and rigid dramatic structure, and the changing relationships between contemporary approaches to performance and traditional heritage. These culturally unique and beautiful theatrical events are contextualised within religious, intel- lectual and social backgrounds to give unparalleled insight into the mind and world of the Balinese performer.

  • The Origins of Balinese Legong
    STEPHEN DAVIES The origins of Balinese legong Introduction In this paper I discuss the origin of the Balinese dance genre of legong. I date this from the late nineteenth century, with the dance achieving its definitive form in the period 1916-1932. These conclusions are at odds with the most common history told for legong, according to which it first appeared in the earliest years of the nineteenth century. The genre Legong is a secular (balih-balihan) Balinese dance genre.1 Though originally as- sociated with the palace,2 legong has long been performed in villages, espe- cially at temple ceremonies, as well as at Balinese festivals of the arts. Since the 1920s, abridged versions of legong dances have featured in concerts organized for tourists and in overseas tours by Balinese orchestras. Indeed, the dance has become culturally emblematic, and its image is used to advertise Bali to the world. Traditionally, the dancers are three young girls; the servant (condong), who dances a prelude, and two legong. All wear elaborate costumes of gilded cloth with ornate accessories and frangipani-crowned headdresses.3 The core 1 Proyek pemeliharaan 1971. Like all Balinese dances, legong is an offering to the gods. It is ‘secu- lar’ in that it is not one of the dance forms permitted in the inner yards of the temple. Though it is performed at temple ceremonies, the performance takes place immediately outside the temple, as is also the case with many of the other entertainments. The controversial three-part classification adopted in 1971 was motivated by a desire to prevent the commercialization of ritual dances as tourist fare.

  • Peranan Wanita Dalam Seni Pertunjukan Bali Di Kota Denpasar
    PERANAN WANITA DALAM SENI PERTUNJUKAN BALI DI KOTA DENPASAR Oleh: Ni Made Wiratini e-mail: [email protected] Promotor/Ko-promotor: Prof. Dr. I Wayan Ardika, M.A. Prof. Dr. R.M. Soedarsono Prof. Dr. Emiliana Mariyah, M.S. PROGRAM KAJIAN BUDAYA PROGRAM PASCASARJANA UDAYANA UNIVERSITY DENPASAR 2007 1 PERANAN WANITA DALAM SENI PERTUNJUKAN BALI DI KOTA DENPASAR Ni Made Wiratini1 Abstrak: Artikel ini dimaksudkan untuk membahas semakin dominannya peranan wanita dalam seni pertunjukan Bali, khususnya yang ada di Kota Denpasar, selama dua puluh lima tahun belakangan ini. Ada lima belas genre seni pertunjukan Bali, terutama dalam kelompok seni pertunjukan hiburan atau balih-balihan, yang kini telah dimainkan oleh wanita. Melalui proses glokalisasi, pengadaptasian budaya asing (global) ke budaya lokal (Bali), peranan dan partisipasi kaum wanita Kota Denpasar dalam seni pertunjukan Bali meliputi pelaku, pencipta, dan pengatur/penyaji. Artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa perubahan-perubahan yang terjadi bukanlah suatu bentuk gerakan feminist untuk mengambil alih dan mengganti posisi pria dalam seni pertunjukan Bali, melainkan suatu realisasi dari upaya sadar kaum wanita Bali untuk ikut menjaga, melestarikan, dan mengembangkan nilai-nilai seni dan budaya tradisional Bali. Singkatnya, meningkatnya ketertarikan wanita Kota Denpasar untuk terjun dalam seni pertunjukan Bali bukan diakibatkan oleh terjadinya kesenjangan gender tetapi oleh hasrat kaum wanita untuk ikut berpartisipasi dalam menjaga kelangsungan dari seni pertunjukan Bali. Kata-kata kunci: peranan wanita, seni pertunjukan, glokalisasi, gender. Pendahuluan Di dalam kurun waktu 25 tahun, dari 1980 sampai dengan 2005, telah terjadi suatu perubahan penting dalam aktivitas seni pertunjukan di Kota Denpasar. Perubahan ini ditandai oleh meningkatnya dominasi peranan wanita dalam aktivitas seni pertunjukan di daerah ini.

Where culture and religion are fused, the traditional costume serves one of the most functions in rituals in Bali. This research aims to analyze the charac- teristics of Balinese costumes by focusing on the Legong dance costume. Quantitative re- search was performed using 332 images of Indonesian costumes and 210 images of Balinese ceremonial costumes. Qualitative research was performed by doing field research in Puri Saba, Gianyar and SMKN 3 SUKAWATI(Traditional Art Middle School). The paper illus- trates the influence and structure of Indonesian traditional costume. As the result, focusing on the upper wear costume showed that the ancient era costumes were influenced by animism. They consist of tube(kemben), shawl(syal), corset, dress(terusan), body painting and tattoo, jewelry(perhiasan), and cross. The Modern era, which was shaped by religion, consists of baju kurung(tunic) and kebaya(kaftan). The Balinese costume consists of the costume of participants and the costume of performers.

    Bali 1928: Gamelan Gong Kebyar Music from Belaluan, Pangkung, Busungbiu 2 Introduction 6 A Sketch of the Time Period of these Recordings 11 Emergence of Kebyar 29 The Balinese Gamelan Recordings from Bali, 1928: a track–by–track discussion: 33 Gamelan Gong Kebyar of Belaluan, Denpasar 46 Gamelan Gong Kebyar of Pangkung, Tabanan 50 Gamelan Gong Kebyar of Busungbiu, Northwest Bali 57 List of Silent Archival Films 58 Acknowledgments 61 References Cited and Further Readings * Glossary on Separate PDF File1 1 The spellings in this article follow modernized Balinese orthography of dictionaries such as Kamus Bali Indonesia, by I Nengah Medera et.al. (1990). Although this system was proposed as early as 1972 it has been applied irregularly in writings on the arts, but we have chosen to adhere to it so as to reflect a closer relationship to actual Balinese aksara ‘letters of the alphabet, language’. For instance, many words with prefixes frequently spelled pe or peng are spelled here with the prefixes pa and pang. 1 Introduction These historic recordings were made in 1928 as part of a collection of the first and only commercially–released recordings of music made in Bali prior to World War II. This diverse sampling of new and older Balinese styles appeared on 78 rpm discs in 1929 with subsequent releases for international distribution. The records were sold worldwide (or not sold, as it happened) and quickly went out of print. It was a crucial time in the island’s musical history as Bali was in the midst of an artistic revolution with kebyar as the new dominant style of music.
