Oct. 2021 THE ORIGIN, EVOLUTION AND FUTURE OF MEK MULUNG: A STATE HERITAGE STATUS AND BEYOND Nur Izzati Jamalludin Submitted in fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at King’s College London May 2019 1 Abstract This research was carried out to trace the development of Mek Mulung, a dance- drama which is native solely to the village of Wang Tepus, Kedah in peninsular Malaysia. From early records of its original form to its present multiple variations, I examine its evolution in consideration of its current relevance and potential sustainability. The main focus is the interrelationships between the two main performance forms that are currently coexisting, despite their rural and urban distinctiveness, and the impact on them from interactions with various forces within their ecological domains. Using an applied ethnomusicological approach which develops largely from ethnographic research methodology, data from a variety of sources were gathered over several years of fieldwork involving participant and non-participant observations, interviews, surveys, archival searches, and digital media sources. Informants for the data include tradition bearers in Wang Tepus, performers, concert audiences, performance makers/experts, and the Wang Tepus community. Results reveal that the urban-based concertized version continues to gain exposure and popularity, but is misunderstood as the ‘real’ Mek Mulung. Despite the interest and enjoyment shown by urban audiences, many do not know the origin of Mek Mulung. Village-based performances have not taken place for several years, and their absence is giving the impression that it has become relegated in terms of getting credit for the village performers’ ownership of the tradition. Being recognized in 2014 as Kedah state heritage status has given a big boost to Mek Mulung’s current popularity among urban audiences, 2 but unfortunately, the Mek Mulung of Wang Tepus not only has not benefited but has been negatively impacted by it. Outside intervention efforts by researcher-activists may be necessary to empower the village performers towards preserving and sustaining the original tradition, and ultimately to regaining their sense of pride and ownership as the natural bearers of the tradition. 3 Table of Contents Abstract …………………………………………………………… 2 Table of Contents ….…………………………………………….. 4 List of Figures

  • 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.

  • Malay Gamelan: Approaches of Music Learning Through Community Music
    International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences 2017, Vol. 7, No. 11 ISSN: 2222-6990 Malay Gamelan: Approaches of music learning through Community Music Wong Huey Yi @ Colleen Wong Department of Music and Music Education, Faculty of Music and Performing Arts, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, Malaysia. Christine Augustine Department of Music and Music Education, Faculty of Music and Performing Arts, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, Malaysia. DOI: 10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i11/3562 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i11/3562 Abstract This paper looked into the role of Rhythm in Bronze (RiB), a local music group in Malaysia, in community music work practices that uses Malay gamelan as the medium. The research delved into the different aspects of the approaches used to enhance music learning through community music; particularly the activities used and how they relate to Vygotsky’s theory of socialization in learning. Community music gathers people from different backgrounds. Experiences and knowledge shared helps the community through the development in terms of personal growth, self- esteem and self-confidence. These terms are just some of the aspects that community music promotes, apart from music making. Along the process of community music, creativity and expression are important in music making, as this will further develop creative thinking skills among musicians. Qualitative approaches such as observation, interview, and group’s past work were used in this research to gather information and data on how music has been taught to children through community music. Social interaction has certainly shown a big role in developing children thinking and perceptions through the activities implemented.

The Komedie Stamboel, also known as the Malay Opera, occupies a prom- inent place in Indonesia's cultural history.1 lts emergence in 1891 has been characterized as a 'landmark' in the development of modern popular theatre (Teeuw 1979:207). The theatre later contributed greatly to the birth of Indo- nesian contemporary theatre and film2 and played a formative role in mod- ern political discourse and representation (see Anderson 1996:36-7). The Komedie Stamboel has been celebrated as one of the most significant 'artistic achievements' of the Eurasian population of colonial Java (see Van der Veur 1968a), but also damned for its deleterious influence on Java's classical and 1 This article was written while a postdoctoral research fellow at the International Institute for Asian Studies (DAS).

  • 1 Orang Asli and Melayu Relations
    1 Orang Asli and Melayu Relations: A Cross-Border Perspective (paper presented to the Second International Symposium of Jurnal Antropologi Indonesia, Padang, July 18-21, 2001) By Leonard Y. Andaya In present-day Malaysia the dominant ethnicity is the Melayu (Malay), followed numerically by the Chinese and the Indians. A very small percentage comprises a group of separate ethnicities that have been clustered together by a Malaysian government statute of 1960 under the generalized name of Orang Asli (the Original People). Among the “Orang Asli” themselves, however, they apply names usually associated with their specific area or by the generalized name meaning “human being”. In the literature the Orang Asli are divided into three groups: The Semang or Negrito, the Senoi, and the Orang Asli Melayu.1 Among the “Orang Asli”, however, the major distinction is between themselves and the outside world, and they would very likely second the sentiments of the Orang Asli and Orang Laut (Sea People) in Johor who regard themselves as “leaves of the same tree”.2 Today the Semang live in the coastal foothills and inland river valleys of Perak, interior Pahang, and Ulu (upriver) Kelantan, and rarely occupy lands above 1000 meters in elevation. But in the early twentieth century, Schebesta commented that the areas regarded as Negrito country included lands from Chaiya and Ulu Patani (Singora and Patthalung) to Kedah and to mid-Perak and northern Pahang.3 Most now live on the fringes rather than in the deep jungle itself, and maintain links with Malay farmers and Chinese shopkeepers. In the past they appear to have also frequented the coasts.
