The dysfunction of the “pakem” rules in contemporary wayang purwa performances has become a significant phenomenon that has changed the face of this traditional art. Pakem, which should serve as a guideline for the narrative, characters, plot, dialogue, and ethics of the performance, has shifted from its role as an aesthetic standard toward more pragmatic and market-oriented considerations. This shift has caused the dysfunction of the “pakem” rules in wayang performances, which previously upheld traditions and noble values, to now be more oriented towards entertainment and market demands. This study aims to analyze the impact of the dysfunction of the “pakem” rules on the quality of wayang purwa performances in the contemporary era, focusing on three main aspects: the simplification of sulukan, the shift of authority from the dalang to guest stars, and extreme changes in performance style. Qualitative data obtained through in-depth interviews with puppeteers, musicians, and art observers were used to analyze this phenomenon. This analysis is also supported by relevant literature to provide a broader context for the changes occurring in puppetry practices. The results of the study show that the dysfunction of the “pakem” rules tends to influence the perceived quality of wayang performances, leading to the loss of the cultural and aesthetic depth that has been the identity of wayang purwa. This decline in performance quality also reflects a shift in orientation from moral teachings to mere entertainment. Therefore, further research is needed to enrich our understanding of wayang performances in the contemporary era, especially in efforts to revitalize pakem and reinforce traditional values in wayang performances.

This study examines the adaptation process of texts by Siti Rukiah Kertapati carried out by Mirat Kolektif in the performance Api Kartini Special Edition: Recording Women's Work and Thoughts. Siti Rukiah, as one of the editors of Api Kartini magazine in the 1960s, was an important figure in Indonesian feminist journalism and literature whose contributions are often overlooked in mainstream historiography. Mirat Kolektif adapted poems, short stories, and magazine columns from Siti Rukiah's book Tandus Siti Rukiah's book Tandus into a contemporary theater performance medium through a collaborative and multidimensional approach. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques in the form of performance observation in-depth interviews with the creative team (director, scriptwriter, actors, and artistic director), and audio-visual documentation studies. The results of the research show that the adaptation was carried out through four main strategies: (1) transformation of the form from text to audio-visual performance; (2) compilation of historical and biographical narrative contexts; (3) reinterpretation of themes with a contemporary feminist approach; and (4) reconstruction of symbolic space through stage artistry. This adaptation is not merely a transfer of medium, but a cultural and political strategy to revive the voices of marginalized women, deconstruct patriarchal narratives, and strengthen the audience's critical awarenessof gender inequality. This performance becomes a form of living archive that connects

This Community Service program is titled "Revitalization of Sarwoasri and Parisuko Markets: Stall Arrangement and Culinary Product Innovation to Improve the Economy." Culinary markets are crucial to the local economy and serve as community hubs. Revitalizing them restores their function as both economic centers and cultural spaces. This program consists of several stages: analyzing traders' needs, rearranging stalls to make them more strategic and attractive, providing workshop-based digital marketing training, and developing culinary product innovations. The needs analysis identifies the traders' main problems. The stall rearrangement creates a more organized, comfortable, and attractive market environment. The digital marketing training helps traders use social media and digital platforms to promote sales. Culinary product innovation enhances product quality, hygiene, variety, and packaging to better match market preferences, thereby adding value and appeal. These activities lead to significant improvements in market management, product quality, and the traders' marketing skills. Besides providing economic benefits, the revitalization also strengthens local identity by making the market a space for social and cultural interaction. The program increases traders' income in the short term and supports sustainable economic development in the long term. Evaluation and monitoring are conducted regularly to ensure the program's sustainability and to provide recommendations for further market development.Program kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat dilaksanakan pada kelompok Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) yang berfokus pada pengelolaan pasar kuliner. Pasar kuliner memiliki peran penting dalam perekonomian lokal serta berfungsi sebagai tempat interaksi sosial dan budaya masyarakat.

Pelatihan digital marketing dirancang untuk meningkatkan keterampilan pedagang dalam memanfaatkan media sosial dan platform digital sebagai alat promosi penjualan. Inovasi produk kuliner difokuskan pada peningkatan kualitas, kebersihan, variasi, serta kemasan yang sesuai dengan selera pasar, sehingga produk-produk tersebut memiliki nilai tambah dan daya tarik yang lebih tinggi. Berdasarkan survei kepuasan pedagang, observasi di lapangan, dan checklist data pengunjung yang dikelola manajemen pasar, didapati data yang cukup memuaskan, Hasil dari kegiatan ini menunjukkan adanya peningkatan signifikan dalam pengelolaan pasar, kualitas produk, serta keterampilan pedagang dalam memasarkan produk secara modern. Selain manfaat ekonomi, revitalisasi ini juga berdampak pada penguatan identitas lokal, karena pasar kembali berfungsi sebagai ruang interaksi sosial dan budaya masyarakat. Dengan demikian, kegiatan ini tidak hanya memberikan dampak jangka pendek berupa peningkatan pendapatan pedagang, tetapi juga memberikan kontribusi jangka panjang terhadap pembangunan ekonomi berkelanjutan.
