Abstract

Bebali Art is one of Bali's cultural treasures that has a dual function, namely as part of a religious ceremony (Yadnya) as well as a means of entertainment containing spiritual values. Situated between the sacred and profane dimensions, Bebali Art demands flexible performance management while remaining grounded in traditional and religious values. This study aims to design and implement a structured, professional, and local wisdom-based Bebali Art performance management system in the form of the Arja Dance Drama through the Nuwur Kalanguan Performance. Problems that often arise in Bebali Art performances include weak planning, limited human resources, and lack of coordination between related parties, which impact the effectiveness and suitability of the performance with traditional values. This study uses Goldblatt's (2014) event management theory and Walter Benjamin's religious aesthetic theory with the stages of production, presentation, and control. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of a structured management system can improve the quality of performance management and maintain the integrity of the values, meanings, and local wisdom of Bebali Art, especially the Arja Dance Drama.
