<![CDATA[Ironi Dance is a contemporary dance work inspired by the choreographer’s personal experiences and inner anxiety regarding the realities of life, particularly the contradiction between hard work and fortune. This phenomenon illustrates that individuals who possess ability, work diligently, and strive earnestly do not always achieve outcomes that reflect their efforts, while others may attain success without undergoing comparable struggles. This study employed a qualitative approach using a descriptive research design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis consisted of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. The findings reveal that the creation process of Ironi Dance follows Alma M. Hawkins’ dance creation method, which includes the stages of experiencing, seeing, feeling, imagining, transforming, and forming. The work is realized through the exploration of free contemporary movement as a representation of the choreographer’s anxiety, struggle, and sense of injustice experienced by the main character. The presentation of Ironi Dance is further supported by choreographic elements, including movement, floor patterns, musical accompaniment, theme, number of dancers, costumes, makeup, and lighting, all of which are integrated to strengthen the concept and communicate the meaning of the work.]]>
