Wayang comes to the world stage!

April 21, Paris.

Well Deserved Status for Wayang. UNESCO Bestows World Heritage Status on Indonesia's Wayang Puppets. UNESCO - The United Nations's Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization will formally bestow World Heritage Status on Indonesia's Wayang tradition in an April 21, 2004, ceremony in Paris. The award will be received on behalf of Indonesia by Mr. Solikin, the National Secretary of the Indonesian Puppet Performance Association (Senawangi). The Wayang tradition of Indonesia encompasses a range of puppets made from leather and wood with performances by skilled puppet masters often running from sunset to the following day's sunrise. Wayang traditions also continue to thrive in Bali with performances on offer as part of village festivals or cultural presentations for the public.

World Dance Day message

29 April 2004

Dance is the architecture of human movements The architect uses technical materials to create a construction in a particular place. The choreographer uses intangible forms, to create an impression in place and time.

An architect has two dimensions: he is an engineer and an artist at the same time. An engineer because he thinks rationally (in contrast to the sculptor, who also creates works in a particular place), inasmuch as he his work must have a usable value. His creations are based on an understanding of the behavior of his materials - he is a technician.

But he is also an artist, because he seeks to achieve an aesthetically pleasing result. The choreographer, as an architect of movements, is, first of all, a technician. He knows the possibilities of the body (anatomy, physiology, pathology). His knowledge is based on experience, since he has sweated on the dance floor, as the good architect has paced for years on the scaffolding of his building-sites.

And of course he must delight the spectator and/or make him think. The making of both choreographers and architects requires:

(a) extensive practical training, "taking the clay in their hands", dancing and teaching dance.
(b) extensive study, research, reading and reflection, to gain the necessary theoretical equipment.

How then can one explain the great paradox: Whereas there are university schools for architects in every country, there are no equivalents for choreographers and dance teachers? One can count on one's fingers the countries where young people can continue their studies - practical and theoretical at the same time - beyond the age of eighteen.

And even there such schools are under-supported and under-resourced. One of the lines of action of the International Dance Council CID is to persuade governments to create high level dance departments in universities. It is to this objective that this year's World Dance Day is dedicated. Prof. Alkis Raftis President of the International Dance Council CID UNESCO, Paris

  1. The official Dance Day message is mailed to 30,000 dance professionals in 200 countries. It is translated to dozens of languages. Please ask for an authorized translation, or translate the message to the language of your country and send it to dance organizations and the media.
  2. The World Dance Day has been established in 1982 in view of attracting attention to the art of dance, every year on the 29th of April. On that day, dance companies, dance schools, organizations and individuals are asked to organize an activity addressing an audience larger than their usual one.
  3. The International Dance Council (Conseil International de la Danse - CID) is the official umbrella organization for all forms of dance in all countries of the world. It is a non-governmental non-profit organization (NGO) founded in 1973 within the UNESCO headquarters in Paris, where it is based. It is a worldwide forum bringing together international, national and local organizations as well as individuals. It represents the interests of the dance world at large and consults accordingly governments and international agencies.

"Painting My Soul"

Watercolour paintings by Sasya Tranggonoon

Until the end of June Alila Ubud

Alila Ubud takes pleasure in inviting you to the opening of a painting exhibition entitled "Painting My Soul" At Alila Ubud Gallery Desa Melinggih Kelod, Payangan-UbudBali, Indonesia. A new emerging artist, nothing much was heard of the female artist, Sasya Tranggono, until after she was especially nominated to exhibit her artworks in the prestigious art festival, CP Open Biennale 2003, in Jakarta last year. In the prestigious art event, Sasya exposed a number of watercolour artworks depicting the traditional Sundanese ‘wayang golek’ (wooden puppets). The series of artworks is in itself interesting in the sense that it has given an evidence of creative development which functions as an extension of Sasya’s creative process from her earlier focus on painting objects popularly known as still-life.
