Abstract

This study aims to describe the study of the choreography creation of Zapin Adab and Budi, starting with the kinesthetic stimulus popularized by Jacqueline Smit. The traditional silat and Zapin of the Malay people of East Sumatra were used as a source of movement development in producing the new choreography by Zapin Adab and Budi. The method used in this study is qualitative by conducting field observations in obtaining data, interviews, documentation, and literature studies related to Silat and Zapin traditions of the Malay community of East Sumatra. The silat movements that are used as a source of development are the praying, stabbing, elbowing and kicking motifs. While the traditional zapin motifs that are used as a source of movement development are the Opener or Worship motifs, Greetings, Alif, Drag, and Broken. Movement development is carried out based on development studies by emphasizing the elements of motion, namely energy, space, and time. After experiencing the development process, movements with new forms and new styles were born, which were different from the original motifs. Meanwhile, of the three elements of motion, namely energy, space, and time, only the spatial element is the most dominant in producing new motifs, different in shape and character from the original motif. While the elements of energy and time are to provide reinforcement in forming the space for movement and the rhythm of movement naturally. From the results of the creation, it can be concluded that kinesthetic stimulation in the creation of dance can give birth to motion with new and unique forms through the development of elements of motion, energy, space, and movement.

Abstract

Music, as part of culture, is often seen as something that only plays a complementary role in life. In fact, if explored in depth, there are many things stored in the music, which are worthy of in-depth study. Music has deposits that describe the natural state of mind, environment, culture and existence of the owner of the music. In general, the essence of music is a sound engineering event. If it is related to sound, then it is enjoyed by hearing. However, in the archipelago in general, and Sumatra in particular, music has become something that is enjoyed by "watching". This is the impact of an evolution from a situation that we have slowly, but have come quite far from, experienced. This article will try to explain the evolution experienced by music from the perspective of art as an object and subject. For example, take the case of music in North Sumatra in general.

Abstract

This art study aims to reveal a new phenomenon of organizing art festivals based on community mutual cooperation or better known as citizen festivals. This study is based on the desire to produce a view and knowledge in seeing the challenges, solutions, and social impacts of citizen festivals. The study focuses on three citizen festivals representing three geocultural regions of North Sumatra, namely coastal, mountainous, and urban. The purpose of this study is to find the challenges faced by organizers in implementing Community-Based Art Festivals in North Sumatra and to reveal their solutions in facing these challenges, as well as to find the social impact of organizing Community-Based Art Festivals for the surrounding community. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach. The process of searching for data and information is carried out using interview, documentation, and literature study methods. The results of the study show that community-based festivals in coastal, mountainous, and urban areas have their own challenges. The Berhala Island marine culture festival on the Serdang Bedagai coast must deal with uncertain natural conditions. The Pancur Siwah Festival in the Karo mountains must grapple with religious ethics, the conservative attitude of the elders and the apathy of the younger generation. Meanwhile, the Jawa Deli Festival in Medan must be adaptive and collaborative with a multicultural social environment by facilitating various ethnicities. Some categories of impacts generated from these three types of festivals are cultural impacts, educational impacts, and economic impacts.
