Abstract

As Balinese Calonarang shadow theatre responds to shifting audience expectations and media influences, intermediality has emerged as a strategic mode of adaptation. This article examines a notable example: the emergence of the watangan matah or ‘living corpse,’ a figure performed by a live actor within the traditionally two-dimensional shadow space. This adaptation bridges symbolic shadow play with embodied presence, negotiating ritual integrity with theatrical spectacle. Using a mixed-method embedded design, the study combines descriptive quantitative data with ethnographic interpretation through observation, video analysis, interviews, and an audience survey. Findings show that the inclusion of watangan matah intensifies visual and emotional impact but generates divided responses between younger, media-oriented audiences and ritual purists. More significantly, staging a live corpse figure introduces power contestation, as puppeteers symbolically challenge mystical forces to assert spiritual authority. Watangan matah thus exemplifies how Calonarang theatre navigates preservation and transformation while maintaining its sacred resonance.

Abstract

Rendahnya apresiasi pada seni tari tradisi memberikan ancaman serius tentang terjadinya degradasi karakter anak bangsa. Apresiasi bukan hanya tentang penghargaan materi, namun tentang keberlanjutan karya seni secara utuh. Pemahaman filosofi hingga penguasaan gerak tari yang mewakili filosofi tersebut adalah bentuk apresiasi tertinggi. Fenomena ini ditemukan pada Tari Legong Keraton Lasem yang dulu dikembangkan oleh Ni Pollok. Ni Pollok sebagai seorang maestro tari telah memberikan kekhasan pada struktur gerak tari ini. Hadirnya pelatihan menjadi sebuah kebutuhan untuk upaya meningkatkan apresiasi dari genrasi muda di Banjar Kelandis Desa Sumerta Kauh Kota Denpasar. Metode pelatihan merupakan kolaborasi metode sentra dan drill. Hasil pelatihan menunjukkan pencapaian keberhasilan pada aspek pemahaman filosofi dan teknik gerak tari. Kekurangan dari pelatihan akan disikapi dengan pendampingan. Pendampingan akan dilakukan secara berkenlanjutan dengan metode virtual reality.

Abstract

Abstract: English language training for elementary school students is one way to improve basic communication skills in a foreign language from an early age. This study was conducted to explore the role-play method in teaching English to elementary school students, which aims to create an interactive, enjoyable, and student centred learning environment. Through this method, students are given the opportunity to act out various simple situations frequently encountered in everyday life, such as introducing oneself, greeting, asking and giving information, and shopping conversations. The training was carried out in stages through the provision of vocabulary, example dialogues, group exercises, and role-playing in front of the class. The training results showed that the role-play method was able to increase students' confidence in speaking English, enrich vocabulary mastery, and improve pronunciation and understanding of the context of language use. In addition, students showed high enthusiasm and participation throughout the activity. Thus, the role-play method can be an effective learning alternative to support the development of English language skills in elementary school students.
