<![CDATA[This research aims to analyze and describe the creative process of dance creation and examine the concept and meaning of Kaprasida Dance fashion inspired by the Patiayam Archaeological Site at the Bougenville Kudus Gymnastics and Dance Studio. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. The data collection technique was carried out through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with Etik Dwi Aprili Yanti as the studio manager, and dance creator, as well as documentation in the form of photos and videos. Data analysis uses Miles and Huberman's interactive model which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that the creative process of creating the Kaprasida Dance goes through three main stages, namely exploration, improvisation, and composition. Dance movements are inspired by ancient human activities. Kaprasida Dance Clothing has a strong symbolic meaning that represents the simplicity, strength, and closeness of ancient humans to nature. In conclusion, the Kaprasida Dance is a creative dance work that not only has aesthetic value, but also functions as a medium for interpretation and revitalization of the Patiayam Archaeological Site through performing arts. The creative process and fashion symbolism presented strengthen local cultural identity and support efforts to preserve cultural heritage.]]>
