Abstract

This study aims to analyze the choreographic articulation and the formation of the dramatic structure in the dance piece "Laskar Rimung Rencong" through the integration of movement elements, music, as well as rencong (traditional dagger) and sampur (scarf) props as a form of representation of female warriors. The research methodology employs a qualitative method with an artistic research approach, following the dance creation steps outlined by Srihadi. This new creation dance is inspired by the bravery of Inong Balee—a warrior army of widows formed during the Aceh Sultanate under the leadership of Admiral Keumalahayati. The findings show that "Laskar Rimung Rencong" is performed by three female dancers, combining developed traditional Acehnese movements with traditional Surakarta-style dance, while utilizing rencong props and scarves integrated into the veil (kerudung). The performance is divided into three scenes symbolizing grief, awakening, training, and ultimate victory of the Acehnese female army. Through this work, the author represents historical values while providing motivation for women to become independent and courageous individuals.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the performance form and the movement structure of the color guard in Story of Benteng Speelwijk by Speelwijk Drum Corps. It employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through direct observation of the performance, documentation study of audiovisual recordings, and in-depth interviews. The findings show that the performance form is integrated through seven main elements: the local Banten historical theme, movement, accompanying music, floor design (display), props, costumes, and make-up. The movement structure of the color guard is organized hierarchically into three main parts: (1) an opening section using the caping (traditional conical hat) as a prop, representing the daily life of the Banten community; (2) a core section that develops progressively from flag movement (song 1), through rifle movement and double flag movement (song 2), to a variety of props in song 3, namely ribbon bracelets, dance fans, flag movement, and silat movement, which portray the dynamics of conflict leading to the climax; and (3) a closing section featuring the raising of a giant flag and synchronized flag movement as a symbol of victory. The findings confirm that the color guard functions not only as a visual element but also as a medium of narrative representation that reinforces the dramatic flow of the performance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze digital scenography based on Javanese agrarian culture in a three-dimensional (3D) model of the “Tari Kolosal Gambyong” performance by Inggit Prastiawan, with a focus on video as a strategy for artistic pre-visualization in public spaces. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method using a case study approach. The perspective of digital scenography is utilized to analyze the relationship between spatial composition, visual elements, cultural ornamentation, and the representation of the performance landscape. Data were collected through interviews with Inggit Prastiawan, audio-visual documentation in the form of videos and 3D model images, as well as a review of relevant literature. The analysis focused on artistic forms, Javanese cultural visual idioms, artistic ornamentation, and the role of video in presenting performance space designs. The findings indicate that 3D model visualization videos present stage compositions, the placement of artistic elements, cultural ornamentation, and variations in daytime and nighttime atmospheres. These representations allow the artistic design to be comprehensively examined before it is physically realized. This study highlights the potential of 3D model visualization videos as a digital scenography design strategy that bridges the representation of Javanese agrarian culture with the artistic needs of performances in public spaces.

Abstract

Children with intellectual disabilities generally face challenges in understanding and recalling complex movement sequences due to limitations in cognitive capacity and working memory. This study aimed to analyze the learning of Lampung ethnopedagogy-based “BrainDance” movements using a mnemonic model among children with intellectual disabilities at SLB PKK Lampung Province. The study involved 10 children with intellectual disabilities. The results demonstrated that the children were able to perform BrainDance movements independently after being assisted by verbal cues using everyday terms familiar to them and movement codes; this enabled them to memorize the names of movement variations as labels and execute each taught movement. This strategy facilitated the association between words and the required physical movements. The findings indicate that a mnemonic model combining Lampung ethnopedagogy-based words (labels) with visual movement cues (codes) strengthens the dual-coding process and alleviates the working memory load for children with intellectual disabilities, making it easier for them to understand, recall, and independently imitate movements.

Abstract

Traditional pencak silat is a cultural heritage of Indonesian and Malay communities that embodies aesthetic and artistic values and is performed on various occasions, including traditional rituals, community entertainment, and cultural arts festivals. However, one of the major challenges in pencak silat performances is the lack of effective and artistic choreographic structures, which often results in less dynamic performances and limited competitiveness at various festival levels. This conceptual article proposes a Technology-Based Choreographic Intervention that combines modern choreographic principles with digital movement analysis to enhance the artistic quality of traditional pencak silat performances at cultural festivals. The primary approach employed is Hybrid Choreographic Intervention, a method that integrates the exploration of traditional pencak silat movements with digital simulations through Motion Analysis and Digital Simulation. The article draws upon theoretical perspectives on cultural heritage, choreography, digital performing arts, hybrid intervention, cultural competitiveness, and the digital generation to strengthen its conceptual framework. Through this intervention, traditional pencak silat is expected not only to be preserved as an important form of intangible cultural heritage but also to become more adaptive, innovative, and competitive within the evolving landscape of contemporary performing arts in the digital era.

Abstract

This study aims to apply the Project Based Learning model to improve the learning outcomes of Saman Dance among class XI students of SMA Mamiyai Al-Ittihadiyah Medan, based on KD 3.1 “concepts, techniques, and procedures” in the 2013 curriculum. The sample was determined using the Purposive Sampling method through a quantitative descriptive approach, using a 20-question pretest-posttest given to 28 class XI IPA students, with observation, documentation, and literature study as data collection techniques. The study was conducted in 6 meetings to produce a presentation project analyzing Saman Dance. The pretest, given before the Project Based Learning model was used, had an average score of 41, while the posttest after its application had an average score of 86. The t-test shows that t-count = 27.192 > t-table = 1.703 (df = 27, α = 0.05), so Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. Therefore, applying the Project Based Learning model improves Saman Dance learning outcomes among class XI students of SMA Mamiyai Al-Ittihadiyah Medan.
