Tendencies to make worldly and rational interpretations are often called secularization. Therefore secularization can be understood as a realistic way of thinking or a basis of social and rational considerations, still placing religion as a moral guidelines. When secularization is defined as liberation, it does not mean free from the will of God, but free from magical and superstitious life. Secularization is also a form of modernization which is an innovation in the past due to the development of science (Black, 1967). Analyzing the Balinese shadow puppet art performance with the concepts of secularization does not mean that want to place the Balinese shadow puppet art performance free from religious goals but want to place the art shadow puppet performance functionally by experiencing rational processes in accordance with the realities being faced by society Bali. Creativity in the arts is not only directed on religious goals, but appears more as commercial creativity. As commercial creativity does not mean that religious creativity is lost. Shadow puppet performance art experiences a phenomenon of secularization, in this paper, it is not understood as a separation between the afterlife and worldly affairs, but is understood as a scientific process in science to become more scientific and argumentative. Keywords: Tourism Impact, Secularization Phenomenon, Balinese shadow puppet show ABSTRAK Tujuan penelitian ini adalah memahami dampak pariwisata terhadap fenomena sekularisasi dalam pertunjukan wayang kulit Bali. Kecendrungan-kecendrungan untuk melakukan interpretasi yang bersifat duniawi dan rasional sering disebut sekularisasi. Dengan demikian sekularisasi dapat dipahami sebagai cara berpikir yang realistis atau dasar pertimbangan-pertimbangan sosial dan rasional, serta tetap menempatkan agama sebagai pedoman moral. Ketika sekularisasi diartikan sebagai pembebasan, bukan berarti bebas dari kehendak Tuhan Hyang Maha Esa, tetapi bebas dari kehidupan magis dan tahyul. Sekularisasi juga merupakan salah satu bentuk modernisasi yang merupakan inovasi terhadap masa lampau akibat perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan (Black,1967). Menganalisa seni pertunjukan wayang kulit Bali dengan konsep-konsep sekularisasi bukan berarti ingin menempatkan seni pertunjukan wayang kulit Bali bebas dari tujuan-tujuan agama tetapi ingin menempatkan seni pertunjukan wayang kulit itu secara fungsional dengan mengalami proses-proses rasional sesuai dengan realitas yang sedang dihadapi oleh masyarakat Bali. Kreativitas dalam bidang seni tidak hanya diarahkan pada tujuan-tujuan keagamaan, tetapi lebih banyak muncul sebagai kreativitas komersial. Sebagai kreativitas komersial bukan berarti bahwa kreativitas religius hilang. Seni pertunjukan wayang kulit mengalami sebuah fenomena sekularisasi, dalam tulisan ini tidak dipahami sebagai pemisahan antara urusan akhirat dengan urusan duniawi, tetapi dipahami sebagai proses ilmiah dalam ilmu pengetahuan untuk menjadi lebih ilmiah dan argumentatif.

  • 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.

Goodlander August 2010 © 2010 Jennifer L. Goodlander. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Body of Tradition: Becoming a Woman Dalang in Bali by JENNIFER L. GOODLANDER has been approved for the Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts by William F. Condee Professor of Theater Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT GOODLANDER, JENNIFER L., Ph.D., August 2010, Interdisciplinary Arts Body of Tradition: Becoming a Woman Dalang in Bali (248 pp.) Director of Dissertation: William F. Condee The role of women in Bali must be understood in relationship to tradition, because “tradition” is an important concept for analyzing Balinese culture, social hierarchy, religious expression, and politics. Wayang kulit, or shadow puppetry, is considered an important Balinese tradition because it connects a mythic past to a political present through public, and often religiously significant ritual performance. The dalang, or puppeteer, is the central figure in this performance genre and is revered in Balinese society as a teacher and priest. Until recently, the dalang has always been male, but now women are studying and performing as dalangs. In order to determine what women in these “non-traditional” roles means for gender hierarchy and the status of these arts as “traditional,” I argue that “tradition” must be understood in relation to three different, yet overlapping, fields: the construction of Bali as a “traditional” society, the role of women in Bali as being governed by “tradition,” and the performing arts as both “traditional” and as a conduit for “tradition.” This dissertation is divided into three sections, beginning in chapters two and three, with a general focus on the “tradition” of wayang kulit through an analysis of the objects and practices of performance.

  • Kathakali from Southern India), but Each Session Will Draw Links and Parallels to One Other Traditions Across the World (Kecak, Rakugo and Commedia Dell’Arte)
    Cultivating Curiosity in World Theatre Traditions The workshops will focus on one key world theatre tradition (Kathakali from Southern India), but each session will draw links and parallels to one other traditions across the world (Kecak, Rakugo and Commedia dell’arte). Each session will focus on a different key element (convention) of performance from traditions in each session (with links to ToK). During the sessions participants will learn how to apply this key element (convention) practically and put themselves in the position of risk-takers. At the end of each session links to other world theatre traditions will be made, cultivating curiosity and opening up choices for life-long learners, and research. Sources and resources used in the sessions will be shared with the participants to enable them to get started with planning their own work in class, and with students doing their own research. Links throughout will be made to the IB Learner Profile and the DP Theatre programme, where students are encouraged to be independent researchers and presenters. Session 1: Kathakali & Rakugo (Gesture & facial expression) This session will introduce the participants to the unfamiliar dance theatre form of Kathakali, starting with a lecture on the history and context, modelling research, life- long learning and presentation skills. Participants will then learn some Kathakali mudras (hand gestures) to communicate some words, and experiment with how to put these together with the navarasas (facial expressions). Links of this tradition will then be made to Rakugo – Japanese sit down theatre. The tradition will be introduced using short films of these solo performers (who use face, voice and gesture in a solo performance), and will then develop into practical work, where participants will have a chance to use their own voice, gesture and facial expressions to tell a story to a partner.

  • The Story of Rama
    The Story of Rama A Curriculum Packet for Educators Spring 2011 Dear Teachers, We are glad you are choosing to bring your students to the Asian Art Museum, where they will experience the first exhibition in the United States dedicated to the arts and culture of Bali, an island in Indonesia that has captured the imagination of the world for centuries. You and your class are scheduled to take a special tour of Bali: Art, Ritual, Performance at the museum. Students will learn how art and stories can teach us about culture. Culture influences how everyone views the world, and students will learn about this by studying how the Hindu epic of the hero-prince Rama (the Ramayana) appears in the visual, performing, and literary arts of Bali. “The Abduction of Sita” (kidnapping of Rama’s wife), a pivotal chapter in the Ramayana, is also an ideal lens through which students may understand how art is “lived” in Bali, the only Indonesian island whose majority population is Hindu. To prepare for your visit, we encourage you to try one or all of the lessons in the enclosed inte- grated standards-based classroom unit, The Story of Rama: Revealing Art, Ritual, and Performance through Story. We also encourage you to review your tour confirmation and theGuidelines for Teachers, Students, and Chaperones. For more information on the Bali exhibition, please visit our microsite www.asianart.org/Bali. In the meantime, if you have questions or preferences, please contact us at [email protected] or speak directly with your docent, who will contact you about two weeks prior to your tour.

  • The Paradox of UNESCO's Masterpieces
    The Newsletter | No.69 | Autumn 2014 28 | The Focus The paradox of UNESCO’s Masterpieces Cultural heritage is often associated with something from the past, but labelling something from the past as ‘heritage’ is a way of dealing with the past in the present. Cultural heritage can be seen as a process in which the meaning and value of the past in the present is created and re-created, authorized and re-authorized by those who have the power to do so.1 Such negotiations often deal with issues of political, national, religious, and ethnic identity issues, linked to local, national and world value systems for culture. These values and meanings of culture are not static, but change over time; the addition of the concept ‘intangible’ cultural heritage to the heritage vocabulary attests to this. Sadiah Boonstra IN 2001, UNESCO LAUNCHED the project ‘Masterpieces of the The Masterpiece candidature file An international jury evaluated the candidature file Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity’ with the objective The national wayang organizations Sena Wangi based on criteria of outstanding cultural value found in either to encourage the identification, preservation, and promotion of (Sekretariat Nasional Pewayangan Indonesia, or National “a high concentration of outstanding intangible cultural cultural expressions, such as language, literature, music, dance, Wayang Secretariat) and Pepadi (Persatuan Pedalangan heritage or an outstanding value from a historical, artistic, games, mythology, rituals, customs, handicrafts, architecture, Indonesia, or the Indonesian Puppeteers/Pedalangan Union) ethnological, sociological, anthropological, linguistic or literary and other arts, as well as traditional forms of communication prepared Indonesia’s ‘candidature file’ for wayang, according point of view.”8 The candidature file argues for the outstanding and information.
