Abstract

Batik is actually an activity that cannot be separated from people's lives in every region in Indonesia, as well as the lives of the people of Kendal Regency who always coexist with batik activities. It is estimated that batik came to Kendal Regency by a batik entrepreneur from Pekalongan in the 19th century. The reappearance of batik in Kendal Regency was marked by the emergence of a group of batik entrepreneurs, one of which was called the Jambe Kusuma Batik Studio. The members of this studio are women, especially batik artisans whose backgrounds have worked abroad as female workers (TKW). Low wages and limited job opportunities force women to work away from their families. This condition makes a number of parties concerned so that many regional and private service agencies are looking for solutions in order to empower ex-TKW so that they can maximize their potential with various activities, one of which is through batik activities. The problem studied is the influence of the socio-economic environment of the Jambearum Village community on the aesthetic expression of batik works. The research location was located at the Jambe Kusuma Batik Studio in Jambearum Village, Patebon District, Kendal Regency with the research target being ex-Women Workers (TKW) in Kendal Regency in the batik production process. The Jambe Kusuma batik motif is dominated by endemic flora motifs found in Kendal Regency and marine fauna. The integrity of the turtle and godhong mbako motifs can be found in the turtle decoration which is harmonized with godhong mbako. The color integrity in image one lies in the background color which is dominated by blue to gray. The protrusion of the motif is found in the shape of the turtle which uses a decorative approach but can be identified by the structure of the subject so that it looks realistic. Jambe Kusuma Batik is the result of creativity that continues to experience development. Women's empowerment can be pursued through improving the quality of education, skills and economic conditions. The goal of overall empowerment can ideally increase gender development which creates a balance.

Abstract

Barongan dancers (Pembarong) are selected based on the level of the individual's movement technique ability and their popularity as pembarong (Slamet, 2003, p. 27). Pembarong is generally performed by men considering the size of the mask and the character that must be performed, which depicts tigers with strong, ferocious, savage, agile, and mighty characters. Therefore, it has a small chance to be performed by women. However, there is something different about the Samin Edan Semarang barongan performance, which shows female pembarong. The performance is packaged in such a way so that it raises various questions about the role of female pembarong based on gender requirements. Accordingly, the researchers are interested in examining these problems related to humanistic values in the Samin Edan Semarang barongan performance. This research used an interdisciplinary approach. Two data collection steps were used in this study, namely the field and the literature data collection. The field data was conducted through observation, interviews, and document studies. Data analysis techniques in this study used interactive data analysis, according to Miles and Huberman to analyze the position and role of female pembarong in the Samin Edan Group Barongan performance in Semarang and the humanistic values reflected in it. The study's results show the role of women and humanistic values in the Samin Edan Barongan performance. In conclusion, the open opportunities for women in the creative process in the Samin Edan Barongan performance show that there are no restrictions on social territory structurally, nor are there any attempts to differentiate the roles of men and women through different dance types, forms, material, or structure. Humanistic values are reflected in the creative process of Barongan Samin Edan. The implication gives space for free expression to all dancers to be the key to the creative process of Barongan Samin Edan. It is because the dance manifests the choreographer's hopes always to offer a liberating artistic experience. It is important to reposition the creative process that forms an individual's humanist character and the idea that education through art is actually the basis for the formation of a humanist character.

Abstract

Joged Bumbung is an art form that combines dance and percussion when viewed from the context of the art. These two elements were combined and then developed by allowing the audience to participate in dancing while the Joged Bumbung performance was taking place. However, as time went on Joged Bumbung underwent changes. The purpose of this study is to analyze the changes related to the Joged Bumbung show to present a new ideology behind the show. This study uses an etnochoreological approach with qualitative research methods. The research was focused on one place, namely the Joged Bumbung Dana Sunari sekha who came from Tabanan. The results of this study indicate the presence of market ideology, in which the emphasis on exchange rates indirectly requires Joged Bumbung to increase its attractiveness so that consumer tastes are met. Thus the Joged Bumbung sekha developed their creativity, one of which was the Joged Bumbung sekha Dana Sunari who presented Joged Bumbung which gave the impression of porn action due to offers from consumers. Even though not all Balinese people or artists make it normal for the Joged Bumbung performance to change towards porn action. It is justified as a tool to earn money, with bodily capital and eliminating aesthetic and ethical values in the Joged Bumbung performance. The market ideology present behind the changes in the Joged Bumbung performance is due to several indicators, namely , the orientation of the market performance, the artistic concepts and principles believed by Sekha Dana Sunari, the strategy for adjusting the performance, and the support from the local community who support perpetuating market ideology in the Joged Bumbung ngebor performance .
