  • 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.

  • 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. Leon Rubin is Director of East 15 Acting School, University of Essex. I Nyoman Sedana is Professor at the Indonesian Arts Institute (ISI) in Bali, Indonesia. Contents List

  • Balinese Dances As a Means of Tourist Attraction
    BALINESE DANCES AS A MEANS OF TOURIST ATTRACTION : AN ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE By : Lie Liana Dosen Tetap Fakultas Teknologi Informasi Universitas Stikubank Semarang ABSTRACT Makalah ini menguraikan secara ringkas Tari Bali yang ditinjau dari perspekif ekonomi dengan memanfaatkan Bali yang terkenal sebagai salah satu daerah tujuan wisata di Indonesia. Keterkenalan Bali merupakan keuntungan tersendiri bagi pelaku bisnis khususnya bisnis pariwisata. Kedatangan wisatawan asing dengan membawa dolar telah meningkatkan ekonomi masyarakat Bali, yang berarti pula devisa bagi Indonesia. Bali terkenal karena kekayaannya dalam bidang kesenian, khususnya seni tari. Tari Bali lebih disukai karena lebih glamor, ekspresif dan dinamis. Oleh karena itu seni tari yang telah ada harus dilestarikan dan dikembangkan agar tidak punah, terutama dari perspektif ekonomi. Tari Bali terbukti memiliki nilai ekonomi yang tinggi terutama karena bisa ‘go international’ dan tentunya dapat meningkatkan pemasukan devisa negara melalui sektor pariwisata. Kata Kunci: Tari, ekonomi, pariwisata, A. INTRODUCTION It is commonly known that Bali is the largest foreign and domestic tourist destination in Indonesia and is renowned for its highly developed arts, including dances, sculptures, paintings, leather works, traditional music and metalworking. Meanwhile, in terms of history, Bali has been inhabited since early prehistoric times firstly by descendants of a prehistoric race who migrated through Asia mainland to the Indonesian archipelago, thought to have first settled in Bali around 3000 BC. Stone tools dating from this time have been found near the village of Cekik in the island's west. Most importantly, Balinese culture was strongly influenced by Indian, and particularly Sanskrit, culture, in a process beginning around the 1st century AD. The name Balidwipa has been discovered from various inscriptions.

  • Body of Tradition: Becoming a Woman Dalang in Bali
    Body of Tradition: Becoming a Woman Dalang in Bali A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Jennifer L. 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.

  • Uluwatu Temple & Kecak Dance 2.Pages
    Bali Transit Activity “Uluwatu Temple & Kecak Dance” Half Day Tour The Uluwatu Temple is one of Bali's most spectacular temples. It is built on a cliff top at the edge of a plateau about 75 meters / 250 feet above the waves of the Indian Ocean. Uluwatu lies at the southern tip of Bali. Dedicated to the spirits of the sea, the famous Uluwatu temple is an architectural wonder in black coral rock, beautifully designed with spectacular views. It is a popular place to enjoy the sunset. The Uluwatu Temple is important to the Balinese as it is one of Bali's directional temples, guarding Bali from evil spirits from the South- West, in which dwell major deities, in Uluwatu's case; “Bhatara Rudra” – the God of the elements and of cosmic force majeure. At this temple you will have the chance to watch one of Bali’s most famous dances, the Kecak Dance. The Kecak dance is unusual because it has no musical accompaniment like many other Indonesian dances do; the rhythm of the dance is produced by the chanting 'monkey' chorus. A troupe of over 150 bare-chested men serve as the chorus, making a wondrous cacophony of synchronized "chak-achak-achak" clicking sounds while swaying their bodies and waving their hands. From that chanting noise of "Cak- cak-cak", then it gave the dance its name Kecak. 1 of 2 Bali Transit Activity The dance is played in five acts and lasts roughly 45 minutes. It is taken from the Hindu epic Ramayana, which tells the story of Prince Rama and his rescue of Princess Sita, who has been kidnapped by the evil King of Lanka, Rahwana and somehow with the help of the white monkey army, Rama rescues his wife and defeats the evil Rahwana.

  • 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.

  • Materi+DRAMA+JAWA 0.Pdf
    BAB I SELUK BELUK DRAMA A. Antara Drama, Sandiwara, dan Teater Banyak orang berasumsi, drama itu sekedar tontonan. Memang tidak keliru anggapan ini. Hampir semua drama dipentaskan memang untuk ditonton. Apalagi kalau dirunut dari aspek etimologi, akar tunjang dari istilah "drama" dari bahasa Greek (Yu- nani kuna) drau yang berarti melakukan (action) atau berbuat sesuatu (Muhsin, 1995). Berbuat berarti memang layak dilihat. Wiyanto (2002:1) sedikit berbeda, katanya drama dari bahasa Yunani dram, artinya bergerak. Kiranya, gerak dan aksi adalah mirip. Kalau begitu, tindakan dan gerak yang menjadi ciri drama. Tiap drama mesti ada gerak dan aksi, yang menuntun lakon. Aristoteles (Brahim, 1968:52) menyatakan bahwa drama adalah “a representation of an action”. Action, adalah tindakan yang kelak menjadi akting. Drama pasti ada akting. Dalam drama itu terjadi “a play”, artinya permainan atau lakon. Jadi ciri drama harus ada akting dan lakon. Permainan penuh dengan sandi dan simbol, ayng menyimpan kisah dari awal hingga akhir. Daya simpan kisah ini yang menjadi daya tarik drama. Drama yang terlalu mudah ditebak, justru kurang menarik. Dalam bahasa Jawa, drama sering disebut sandiwara. Kata sandi artinya rahasia, wara (h) menjadi warah berarti ajaran. Sandiwara berarti drama yang memuat ajaran tersamar tentang hidup. Sandiwara dan drama sebenarnya tidak perlu diperdebatkan. Keduanya memuat kisah, yang bercirikan dialog. Baik drama maupun sandiwara sama- sama menjadi guru kehidupan ini. Drama itu suguhan seni yang hidup, penuh fantasi. Drama menjadi tafsir kehidupan, yang kadang-kadang melebihi dunia aslinya. Siapapun sesungguhnya dapat bergulat dengan drama. Muhsin (1995) juga banyak mengetengahkan berbagai kelebihan drama. Biarpun bagi seseorang kadang-kadang enggan tampil dan malu-malu menjadi pemain, drama tetap genre sastra yang menarik.
