International Journal of Visual and Performing Arts draws its contributions from academics and practitioner-researchers at the interface of new visual and performing arts. It acts as a forum for critical scholarship, innovative practice, and creative pedagogy, addressing themes that may be domain-specific (e.g. theatre, dance, music, live art, visual arts) or situated at the convergence of two or more disciplines. The journal invites original, significant, and rigorous inquiry into all subjects within or across disciplines related to visual and performing arts. It encourages debate and cross-disciplinary exchange across a broad range of approaches. The spectrum of topics includes Ethnomusicology, Karawitanology, Music Education, Dance Theatre, Movie and Television, Interior Design, Industrial Design, Media Arts, Fine Arts, Photography. These topics are addressed in full-length academic articles, critical statements on current issues, developmental practice, and reviews of books and live/media-based visual and performing arts. The journal presents an innovative platform for researchers, students, practitioners and educators to both learn from and contribute to the field. All articles are subject to initial Editor screening and then a rigorous double-blind peer-review process before publication.

Abstract

This study examines the pedagogical and theological functions of musical inculturation in Catholic faith education. Drawing on post–Vatican II principles of contextual liturgy, the research analyzes how Javanese musical elements, particularly gamelan textures and macapat melodic patterns, are integrated into Catholic worship to support cognitive comprehension, affective engagement, and active congregational participation. Using a qualitative design involving in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, the study employs thematic analysis to identify how inculturated music shapes faith formation. The findings show that inculturated musical practices enhance three measurable dimensions of faith education: (1) cognitive understanding, demonstrated by a clearer grasp of liturgical texts expressed in culturally familiar musical forms; (2) affective devotion, indicated by heightened emotional resonance and spiritual focus during worship; and (3) participatory involvement, reflected in increased vocal and embodied participation of congregants. The study also identifies a persistent tension between maintaining universal liturgical norms and embracing local cultural expressions, revealing an ongoing negotiation between ecclesial identity and Javanese cultural values. The novelty of this research lies in demonstrating that musical inculturation functions as a form of nonverbal religious pedagogy, simultaneously strengthening Catholic doctrinal understanding and affirming local cultural identity. This contributes to interdisciplinary discussions in theology, pedagogy, and ethnomusicology by offering an empirically grounded model of how liturgical music can operate as an effective medium for contextual faith education.

Abstract

This study explores the role of mythology in maintaining the authenticity of the Angkola Tor-tor Dance in contemporary wedding traditions. By examining the phenomena of cultural commodification, simplification of movements, and the use of digital media that can obscure the meaning of rituals, this study explores how mythological narratives, ancestral symbols, and ceremonial structures serve as normative references and sources of legitimacy for these practices. This study applies a qualitative methodology using cultural mythology and ethnochoreology. The methods used include literature review, participant observation in several Angkola wedding ceremonies, and in-depth interviews with traditional leaders and artists. The research findings reveal that mythology, particularly the story of the origins of the Angkola Tor-tor, the relationship between humans and ancestral spirits, and the value of respect for the clan, serves as a framework of meaning that maintains consistency between form (movement, costume, formation) and function (prayer, respect, social cohesion). In the context of modernization, innovation is still permitted as long as it does not violate the main mythological principles: the order of presentation, the ethics of family interactions, and the symbolic meaning of attributes. Performance curation provides an understanding of the ritual context, and the use of digital media to document accurate interpretations. The implications of this research emphasize that the power of mythology is not only about the romanticism of the past, but also a flexible cultural capital to negotiate the identity, customary authority, and aesthetic sustainability of Tor-tor Angkola in the current cultural context.

Abstract

Film education in Indonesia, often prioritizing industry goals, forcing students to adapt to industry targets and serve the economic gains over artistic achievement. As Indonesian Film and Television Study Program Association (PROSFISI) stated, this industry-oriented view correlates to students who merely consume foreign film entertainment, causing them to become less active, creative, and connected to Indonesian culture and identity. An approach like this breeds a lack of critical thinking and a limited artistic imagination with montage as a contextual device. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that recreate montage in filmmaking education in Indonesia is an opportunity to renew freedom, cultural address, and critique. Through Practice-Led and Artistic Research, the research was conducted in the Film Study Program Bandung, analyzed the application of montage theories by Eisenstein, Pudovkin and Vertov, on student films. Findings suggest that narrative and symbolic montage facilitated deeper meaning around local topics and more straightforward and emotionally resonant narratives. Through a consideration of social-cultural issues the study shows the power of the montage as both an artistic and research tool. This study argues that the curriculum should approach film as a tool that promotes experimentation integrating montage and local culture to deepen student” understanding of film beyond its commodified nature.
