Space and Culture, India 2020, 7:4 Page | 45 https://doi.org/10.20896/saci.v7i4.580 SPECIAL ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS The Dynamics of Rejang Renteng Dance in Bali as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of the World I Nyoman Linggih† and I Ketut Sudarsana†* Abstract This current study is intended to interpret a Balinese cultural product which has taken root in and connected to the Hindu religious system, namely the Rejang Renteng dance. Apart from becoming a cultural product, it also functions as a social cohesion as it involves a significant number of dancers who are children, women, elderly people and the homemakers who become the members of an organisation known referred to as PKK (Family Welfare Education). They interact with one another. The growth and development of the dance have been used as the icon of every Hindu religious activity in Bali, and also as an icon of different social activities. The question is why the Rejang Renteng dance has developed more rapidly than the other dance forms. This current study is also intended to answer different matters on the Rejang Renteng dance, which cannot be separated from the dynamics of the development of the Balinese society which is changing in the current globalisation era. It is also intended to explore the shift in its meaning, function and, which has taken place from the beginning until the current times. The current study was conducted at Masceti Temple Gianyar, Karangasem and Denpasar. The qualitative method, especially the observation, interview and documentary techniques, were applied to collect the data. The data were analysed through four steps; they are reduction, classification, interpretation and conclusion drawing. The informants were determined using the purposive method as they had been determined based on their capacities. The result of the study shows that (1) the Rejang Renteng dance (Rente) can only be performed by the women attaining menopause and are appointed by what is locally referred to as Ida Betara (the God who resides at the temple where the dance is performed) and may not be replaced by others; (2) a purification ceremony is held for the dance; therefore, it is classified as a sacred dance locally referred to as Tari Wali; (3) the Rejang Renteng dance (Rerejangan), which is seasonally performed, is referred to as the Balih-balihan dance; it is a result of the creative reconstruction made by the artists who were inspired by the sacred Rejang dance (Tari Wali). It is massively performed by the women who are the members of the PKK organisation for which no purification ceremony is held. Being a sacred dance, the Rejang Renteng dance is only performed at the temples or the other holy places; however, the creatively reconstructed Rejang Renteng dance can be performed as a part of different religious and social activities. Symbolically, it is a cosmic dance which refers to the concept of the event when the angels descend from the heaven to watch the ritual performed by human beings and is performed in the formation of a circle (renteng). Its sacred meaning empties into the concept of satyam (the truth), siwam (holiness), and sundaram (beauty).

This scientific article discusses (1) Why is Tri Hita Karana the basis for the development of Wayang Wong in millennials?; (2) How does the implementation of Tri Hita Karana influence the development of Wayang Wong as a millennial performance art?; (3) How does the implementation of Tri Hita Karana influence the development of the Wayang Wong strengthen the cultural identity of Bali?

Qualitative descriptive analysis was conducted by applying symbol theory and practice theory. The results showed that: (1) Tri Hita Karana was used as the foundation for the development of Wayang Wong for millennials because Tri Hita Karana is a concept of happiness in Bali; (2) The philosophy and values of Tri Hita Karana are implemented in the millennial form of Wayang Wong which reflects the harmony of human relations with God (parahyangan), human relations with humans (pawongan), and human relations with nature (palemahan); (3) The application of the Tri Hita Karana concept in the development of Wayang Wong in millennials can save the sustainability of Wayang Wong performing arts in Bali.

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.

  • 59. Gong Kebyar De Sebatu (Bali) Baris Melampahan
    59. Gong Kebyar de Sebatu (Bali) Baris Melampahan (For Unit 6: Further Musical Understanding) Background information and performance circumstances Gamelan Music is deeply embedded in Indonesian (or Javanese) culture. Evidence of the existence of ensembles dates to the eighth-century BCE but it is believed that the Gamelan may have been in use 500 years earlier. In Javanese mythology, a god, Sang Hyang Guru, used a gong to summon other gods and, for more complex messages, he added extra gongs, thereby inventing the Gamelan. There are now three main types of Gamelan music: Javanese, Balinese and Sundanese; it is Balinese Gamelan (from the Indonesian island of Bali) of which Baris Melampahan is an example. Although Gamelan music on Bali is now regularly performed for tourists, it is vital to remember that the principal and original performing circumstances of the music were for ritual and ceremonial purposes. It is also worth noting that Gamelan belongs to the oral (or perhaps more appropriately ‘aural’) tradition of folk music – notation is a tool for analysing the music but the musicians themselves learn by ear and are taught by an instructor (called a sekaha). The term ‘Baris’ means a line or military formation and, in this context, refers to a traditional male war dance of which there are a great many types. The differing titles usually refer to the weapons used in the dance: for example, Baris Bedil uses rifles and Baris Bajra uses clubs. Baris Melampahan, which developed in the early twentieth-century, is an elaborate exception to the norm of Balinese Baris dances.
