Abstract

Theater learning in high school plays an important role in developing students' creativity, confidence, communication, and performance skills. However, students often experience difficulties in displaying natural facial expressions and meaningful body gestures because learning is still dominated by verbal explanation and direct practice without sufficient visual media support. This study aims to describe students' initial expressive and gestural abilities, identify their learning needs, and design an interactive educational video script to support theater learning. This research used a descriptive qualitative method focusing on the analysis and design stages of media development. The research subjects were Grade XI high school students involved in Cultural Arts, particularly theater arts learning. Data were collected through observation, interviews with teachers and students, and documentation studies. The data were analyzed descriptively to formulate the needs and structure of the proposed learning media. The results show that students tend to appear rigid, lack confidence, and have difficulty expressing emotions and gestures according to character demands. The discussion indicates that interactive video media can provide concrete, repeatable, and engaging examples through expression demonstrations, gesture analysis, practice pauses, quizzes, and self-evaluation activities. In conclusion, the designed interactive educational video has strong potential to support more active, contextual, and student-centered theater learning.

Abstract

Early childhood cultural literacy needs to be developed through learning experiences that connect children with local cultural expressions through activities appropriate to their developmental stages. This community service program aimed to develop BrainDance based on Indonesian-Malaysian Malay dance movements as an alternative learning practice for promoting cultural literacy among early childhood education teachers. The community service program employed a participatory training approach consisting of coordination, identification of eight BrainDance movement patterns and their corresponding Malay dance movements, collaborative movement development, presentation, guided practice, and reflection. The program involved early childhood education teachers from Bukittinggi, Indonesia, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with the Malaysian component conducted at the Auditorium of the Faculty of Education, Universiti Malaya, from 18-22 May 2026. The results showed the development of a mapping of eight BrainDance patterns with Malay dance movements, namely Takzim, Siku Keluang Samping, Bentang Alam, Lenggang, Buka Bunga, Meniti Batang, and Putar Alam, along with their cultural meanings incorporated into the training materials. The teachers gained practical experience and skills in performing and developing BrainDance movements contextualized within Malay culture. The activity demonstrates that BrainDance can be used as a systematic movement framework to support the integration of cultural experiences into early childhood learning, although its direct impact on children's cultural literacy was not measured.
