Brakel-Papenhuyzen Of sastra, pènget and pratélan; The development of Javanese dance notation In: Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde 148 (1992), no: 1, Leiden, 3-21 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl Downloaded from Brill.com10/03/2021 02:01:15PM via free access CLARA BRAKEL-PAPENHUYZEN OF SASTRA, PENGET AND PRATELAN: THE DEVELOPMENT OF JAVANESE DANCE NOTATION The investigation into the development of the theatrical traditions of Java apparently does not suffer from a lack of source material. The beautiful dance scenes on famous temples such as Borobudur and Prambanan, and the frequent mention of theatre and dance in Javanese literary works are sufficient proof of the importance of the performing arts in Javanese culture. However, depictions on temple reliefs or descriptions of dance and the theatre in works of poetry do not usually provide precise information on the reality of artistic practice. This is not surprising, as neither temple reliefs nor works of literature were created for this purpose. However realistic the quality of the dance scenes on temple reliefs may seem, it is not certain how much of their form is bound by architectural convention. Therefore it is very doubtful whether conclusions about the form and style of Javanese dancing at the time of the construction of such temples may be drawn from the depiction of dance scenes on temple reliefs.1 Moreover, a relief in stone is a still picture, presenting static information, the purpose of which was not to give a faithful representation of complex dance motions or musical sounds. Passages on dance practice and theatrical performances in Javanese literature suffer from similar restrictions. Their function is not to provide a detailed description of movement or sound structures, but they serve to evoke a particular atmosphere, or to depict the scene in which the perform- ance takes place. Therefore, such passages tend to give descriptions of costumes, reactions of the audience or remarks about the quality and effects of the dancer or musician, rather than being informative about the choreography or music itself. As an example I quote the following passage from the Middle Javanese Panji Romance Wangbang Wideya, Canto 3:95-97: 1 See the discussion on this topic in Holt 1936 and Sedyawati 1982. CLARA BRAKEL-PAPENHUYZEN, who took her Ph.D. at the University of Leiden, is a researcher affiliated with ILDEP who is specialized in the performing arts of Asia, with special emphasis on Indonesia. Her publications include Seni TariJawa: Tradisi Surakarta dan Peristilahannya, 1991, Jakarta: ILDEP, and The Bedhaya Dances of Central Java, 1992, Leiden: Brill. Dr. Brakel may be contacted at P.

He felt terribly weak and weary; he was left speechless. The king partook of sayub, and it was an exceedingly merry feast. Then they struck up a melody on the gamelan, the gongs boomed, and the nobles danced. Raden Singhamatra danced; his dancing was fine, restrained, and without too much movement (?). He went straight and took a dha- dhap shield and lance. Wangbang Wideya descended and then asked leave to dance. His deft gestures caused one heartache and bewil- dered the watchers, especially when he took the dhadhap shield. Everyone watching his dancing was astounded; he was truly skilled, and it was appropriate indeed that he be feared in battle. The king of Daha was overjoyed and said, "How could this man ever fail to destroy his adversaries?'" (Robson 1971:199.) If we want to investigate the exact form, structure and artistic development of Javanese theatrical traditions, we need authoritative and detailed def- initions and descriptions designed for the use of performers, such as are found in the Sanskrit Bharata Natya Shastra, or the South Indian Abhinaya Darpana. Unfortunately, such texts have not been found in Java so far. The general opinion therefore is that the classical arts of dancing, drama, singing and music basically represent an oral tradition, handed down directly from teacher to student. Yet, in the main artistic centres of Central Java information can be found that proves that by the end of the eighteenth century Javanese artists made use of written texts. In the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries a number of handwritten scores were brought together in the manuscript collections of the courts. These were composed by dancing and music masters in the service of the ruler, and contain information necessary to support the regular practice of dancing, singing, acting and music-making at these courts. Nineteenth-century notations The earliest manuscripts of this kind contain texts of songs performed as an accompaniment to the sacred female bedhaya dances of the courts, and are accordingly entitled '(Pejsindhen Bedhaya'. They are dated as early as the second half of the eighteenth century, but the song texts they contain were probably composed before that time. While these texts mainly pro- vide the 'cakepan' or text2 chanted by the choir, they often also contain some indications about the musical setting and the structure of the per- 2 While in Bali the expression cakepan refers to a complete set of lontar leaves with a written text on them, the Javanese use this expression to refer to the words - spoken, or written or printed on paper - of a poem sung by one or more singers. Downloaded from Brill.com10/03/2021 02:01:15PM via free access Of Sastra, Penget and Pratelan 5 formance, as well as regarding certain actions of the dancers (Brakel 1988:91ff). The earliest choreographic scores of female court dances which I have found so far are the notations (called 'penget') in a 'notebook' of the Yogyakarta court, entitled 'Kagungan Dalem Buk Beksa Bedhaya utawi Srimpi' (The Royal "book" of Bedhaya and Srimpi dances'), which was written for the ruler Hamengkubuwana VII (1877-1921). While most of these scores are for dances created and performed during the reign of this ruler, the manuscript also contains compositions by previous rulers. Some dances occur several times, no doubt representing different versions of the same dance, presumably performed on different occasions. This manuscript, which apparently was compiled by various persons over a number of years during the last part of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century, represents one of the earliest examples of Javanese dance notation. The main component is provided by notations of dance patterns and spatial arrangements, which are referred to in Javanese terminology. These are accompanied by indications as to dura- tion (counted in terms of the number of gong beats of the accompanying musical piece) and in some cases also by references to corresponding words in the accompanying song texts. The following transcription is of the beginning of the score for a famous nineteenth-century court dance for five dancers, Srimpi Renggawati, here named Srimpi Mliwis.3 Punika penget lampahipun beksa kagungan dalem Srimpi Mliwis, gendhing Renyep lajeng dhawah Sumyar, salendro. This is the score of the royal dance (named) Srimpi Mliwis, (arranged to) the musical piece (named) Renyep, and followed by (the musical piece named) Sumyar, (in the) slendro (tonal system). Ngandhap punika lampahing beksa pasindhen gong Below is the course of the dance song text gong beats Awit rakit tengah rimong nyembah 2 start in the opening formation in the centre (with the sampur) across the shoulder and perform the gesture of worship . Minger ajeng-ajengan ngadeg iring-iringan 1 Turn to face each other, and stand up side to side Minger ungkur-ungkuran minger miring 2 Turn back to back, and turn sideways 3 The subject of the dance is the romance between King Angling Darma, transformed into a white duck (mliwis), and the young Princess Renggawati. Downloaded from Brill.com10/03/2021 02:01:15PM via free access 6 Clara Brakel-Papenhuyzen What is remarkable about these early scores is that they refer to dance patterns by means of special terms such as 'rakit tengah' ('opening forma- tion in the centre', i.e. of the dance hall), rimong (sampur) ('draping the dance scarf crosswise over the shoulder'). Some of these terms denote spatial patterns and motions, such as 'minger ajeng-ajengan', while others refer to patterns of movement or to specific poses, such as 'rimong nyem- bah'. Since the duration of the movement indicated in the right-hand column is equivalent to the time elapsing between two (or more) gong beats in a slow and.stately musical piece, we may infer that the terms merely con- stitute a summary indication of the actual choreography. This was suf- ficient, no doubt, as a mnemonic aid for the dancing-masters and musi- cians using this score, but rather lacking in information for people who are not familiar with the composition.4 Thus, the purpose of this score book cannot have been to serve as a means of instruction - we may well assume that in the nineteenth century dances were taught and practised through direct imitation, as in fact still is the custom nowadays. The arrangement of the notation suggests that, rather than being destined for the use of students, these scores served as a 'reminder' not just to the dancing-master, but more especially to the pengeprak, or the person responsible for guiding the dancers and musicians during performances by beating signals on a small wooden slit-drum (keprak). Dance terminology in the Serat Centhini The use of dance terminology in Java did not start with this manuscript, however. It was not restricted to the court of Yogyakarta, either.

  • The Javanese Language in Relation to the Newly Legalized Law
    The Javanese Language in Relation to the Newly Legalized Indonesian Law of Pornography Endang S. Soemartono and Pininto Sarwendah Javanese language often uses sensual and sexuality in conversation and written text. This can be seen from the Javanese oral and written expressions used in daily conversation, songs, traditional plays and dances. To express endearment and something very pleasant and enjoyable the words are connected with sensual organs especially the genital organs and other sensual organs. For example we call a son lovingly with tole /toule/ shortened from the word kontole /k nt le/- a male genital organ, and a daughter/ with wuk /wu?/ from bawuk /bawu?/or gawuk /gawu?/ - a female genital organ. We use similar words for food such as peli gudigen /pəli: gu:digən/ and turuk bintul /turu? bi:ntul/ expressed metaphorically from the shape of the organ or the appearance of the food. Other metaphors in form or movement used in songs, dances, and traditional play are often used for example wulu /wu:lu:/ - for ‘feather’ for ‘fur’, buntut - for ‘tail’ ‘ser ser’ for feeling engkol and dongkrak – for instruments, menthek /məntək/ - plump in a nice way, kebayak Meduro sing ketok pusere lan kurang bakal ben gampang oncek-oncekane – a Madurese kebaya or blouse the stomach of which is seen and not sufficiently made not because of not having sufficient material but it is tailored in order it can be easily opened. The planned bill and law of pornography was influenced by a certain Puritanism group, however, the attitude of the Indonesian societies to sensuality and sexuality was quite open for sensual and sexual activities were considered normal and natural.

  • Cross-Gender Attempts by Indonesian Female Impersonator Dancer Didik Nini Thowok
    Cross-Gender Attempts by Indonesian Female Impersonator Dancer Didik Nini Thowok Madoka Fukuoka Graduate School of Human Sciences, Osaka University, Japan [email protected] ABSTRACT This article examines the creative stages of Didik Nini Thowok (1954‒), a female impersonator and cross-gender dancer based in Java, Indonesia. In addition, it discusses his endeavours of crossing gender boundaries by focusing on his use of costumes and masks, and analysing two significant works: Dwimuka Jepindo as an example of comedic cross-gender expression and Dewi Sarak Jodag as an example of serious cross-gender expression. The findings indicate three overall approaches to crossing gender boundaries: (1) surpassing femininity naturally expressed by female dancers; (2) mastering and presenting female characters by female impersonators and cross-gender dancers; and (3) breaking down the framework of gender itself. Keywords: Didik Nini Thowok, cross-gender, dance, Java, Indonesia © Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia, 2014 58 Wacana Seni Journal of Arts Discourse. Jil./Vol.13. 2014 INTRODUCTION This article examines the creative stages of Didik Nini Thowok (1954‒), a female impersonator and cross-gender dancer based in Java, Indonesia.1 In addition, it discusses his endeavours of crossing gender boundaries by focusing on the human body's role and Didik's concept of cross-gender dance, which he has advocated since his intensive study of the subject in 2000. For the female impersonator dancer, the term "cross-gender" represents males who primarily perform female roles and explore the expression of stereotypical femininity. Through his artistic activity and unique approach, Didik has continued to express various types of femininity to deviate from stereotypical gender imagery.

  • Tayuban Dance and Culture Change in East Java
    THE POLITICS OF POPULAR ART: TAYUBAN DANCE AND CULTURE CHANGE IN EAST JAVA Robert W. Hefner In terms of our often chimerical Image of px.iya.yi culture, tayuhan dance can at first sight appear bewilderingly un-Javanese. Contrary to most Indonesian dance styles, tayuhan involves men dancing directly with women,1 in a fashion which on occasion may be flirtatious or even intimate. The female dancers are paid professionals known as ttzd k zk or tandh.ak.2 When it is a man’s turn to "receive the dance scarf," these women come to sit at his side, sing him a song, and, at its end, offer him a glass of alcohol, which he dashes down boldly, then taking to the dance floor. Although the practice is generally discouraged today, sometimes women may sit on the male dancer’s lap, and on a few occasions actually kiss him. Such sexual behavior by tlzd h ek has contributed to the widespread perception of them as prostitutes, and, together with the dance’s drinking and economic expense, has also caused Muslim reformists and some government officials in recent years to call for the dance’s abolition. Whatever notoriety tayuhan has gained, however, it still enjoys considerable popularity in areas of East and (to a perhaps lesser degree) Central Java. In many communities, moreover, it is not only a popular form of entertainment, but an integral part of spirit shrine ritual associated with annual hzxAih. dut&a festivity. Without the dance, one is told, crops might fail, people would fall ill, and the land might turn barren.

  • Embodied Encounters: Identities in Experiential, Informal Dance, and Movement in Central Java Lise Lavelle, Lund University, Sweden Contact: [email protected]
    Embodied encounters: Identities in experiential, informal dance, and movement in Central Java Lise Lavelle, Lund University, Sweden Contact: [email protected] Abstract The performance presented in this paper, entitled “Perempuan,” or “Women” in English, is the result of an intercultural meeting between three dancers, two from Java, Indonesia, and one from Denmark (me). Our performance took place in the cultural city of Solo, Central Java, during the international festival, “Ritual Art and Cultural Environment” in 1995. I first met the two Javanese dancers at the Indonesian National Arts Institute in Solo (ISI), where I was carrying out fieldwork for my PhD, centering on the Amerta Movement from Java. Amerta Movement, created by Javanese movement-instructor and performing artist Suprapto Suryodarmo (Prapto) in the 1980s, is a free, non-stylized motion based on everyday movements and on working with awareness and attitudes to life (not an ethnic dance). Amerta Movement has attracted thousands of people, especially Westerners, from all walks of life and of all ages. The practitioners study identity, self-expression, movement-vocabulary, communication, and improvised performance. The research method is practice-based/artistic research. My aim of working with the Javanese dancers for Perempuan was to apply the Amerta improvisational movement to a dance performance with professional dancers, and to exchange our dance skills. It was also based on my wish to get to know Javanese women a little better. Thus, the Perempuan dance project and dance performance became an encounter between non-form Amerta Movement, represented by me, a Westerner; and form, Javanese dance, represented by the two Javanese dancers.

  • The Revitalization of Srimpi Muncar Dance Through Social Media in the Hyppereality-Post Truth Era Risa Kaizuka1,* Dr
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 552 Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Arts and Arts Education (ICAAE 2020) The Revitalization of Srimpi Muncar Dance Through Social Media in the Hyppereality-Post Truth Era Risa Kaizuka1,* Dr. Kuswarsantyo1 Andi Azri Nining Rukmana1 1Graduate School of Art Education, Yogyakarta State University, Yogyakarta, Indonesia *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This study aims to describe the revitalization of Srimpi Muncar dance through social media in the post-truth era of hyperreality. The researchers focused on the performance of Srimpi Muncar dance in Uyon-uyon Hadiluhung which was held live streaming from YouTube and Periscope accounts of Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat Palace on August 10, 2020, in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. This study employed the qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach. Primary data were collected through documentation techniques with tables classifying comments given by the public to the palace social media accounts. Secondary data were obtained through interviews and consultation with supervisors. The data analysis was carried out in three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. In this study, the data reliability was checked using the data triangulation technique. The results show that the live streaming show of Srimpi Muncar dance is not hyperreality, because it has a positive impact. The social media accounts of the Yogyakarta Palace play an essential role in the revitalization of Srimpi Muncar dance. Social media is a new way to preserve Yogyakartan classical dance. This new strategy in performing shows is acceptable. It seems that traditional arts will not disappear with technological advances, but technology will be an aid for developing traditional arts nowadays.

  • Asia Society Presents Music and Dance of Yogyakarta
    Asia Society Presents Music and Dance of Yogyakarta Sunday, November 11, 2018 7:00 P.M. Asia Society 725 Park Avenue at 70th Street New York City This program is approximately ninety minutes with no intermission In conjunction with a visit from Hamengkubuwono X, the Sultan of Yogyakarta in Indonesia, Asia Society hosts a performance by the court dancers and musicians of Yogyakarta. The Palace of Karaton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat is the cultural heart of the city. From generation to generation, the Sultans of Yogyakarta are the traditional governors of the city and responsible for passing on art and culture heritage. The entire royal family is involved in preserving these art forms, and the troupe must perform with a member of the royal family present. The dances from Yogyakarta will be accompanied by gamelan music native to Java. Program Golek Menak Umarmaya Umarmadi Dance Masked Dance Fragment (Wayang Wong) “Klana Sewandana Gandrung” Bedhaya Sang Amurwabhumi About the forms: Golek Menak The golek menak is a contemporary example of the seminal influence exerted by the puppet theater on other Javanese performing arts. This dance was inspired by the stick–puppet theater (wayang golek), popular in the rural area of Yogyakarta. Using the three dimensional rod-puppets, it portrays episodes from a series of stories known as menak. Unlike the high-art wayang kulit (shadow puppets), it is a village entertainment, and it did not flourish at the court. As a dance drama, golek menak focuses on imitating this rod-puppet theater with amazing faithfulness. Human dancers realistically imitate the smallest details of puppet movement, right down to the stylized breathing of the puppets.
