BEDHAYA SURYASUMIRAT DAN POLITIK KEBUDAYAAN DI PURA MANGKUNAGARAN SURAKARTA

Abstract It is stunned to see a chance at Mangkunegaran Palace as seen at composing of Bedhaya Suryasumirat dance because of its unusual. Bedhaya dance like the Bedhaya Suryasumirat should have been composed and performed by a court (Kasunanan Surakarta or Kasultanan Yogyakarta) not by a castle like Mangkunegaran. Delving a deep research, it is a fact that spirit to be release himself from the court’s political band had already begun very long time ago. In spite of the spirit to be decratic and the moment of Indonesia’s independence, the response against the social change had plait together to make the Mangkunegaran Castle be a cultural center and move himself away from court’s hegemony

Computational Choreography using Human Motion Synthesis

Should deep learning models be trained to analyze human performance art? To help answer this question, we explore an application of deep neural networks to synthesize artistic human motion. Problem tasks in human motion synthesis can include predicting the motions of humans in-the-wild, as well as generating new sequences of motions based on said predictions. We will discuss the potential of a less traditional application, where learning models are applied to predicting dance movements. There have been notable, recent efforts to analyze dance movements in a computational light, such as the Everybody Dance Now (EDN) learning model and a recent Cal Poly master's thesis, Take The Lead (TTL). We have effectively combined these two works along with our own deep neural network to produce a new system for dance motion prediction, image-to-image translation, and video generation.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figures, to be submitted to CVPR 202

Establishing Cultural Identity in American Concert Dance: How Corporate Funding Can Revitalize the World of Dance

In a country that has rapidly evolved in many industries, it has always mystified me as to why advancement in the arts, specifically dance, has lagged behind. My hypothesis as to why this is occurring is that concert dance in America is not as synonymous to the cultural identity of the nation as it is in comparison to its European ancestors. I began my research with the creation of ballet in order to determine the cultural roots that were established within particular societies. I then compared the funding models between the nations with this deep attachment to the funding models of our country. After making the comparison, it was evidently clear that the difference lies within our economic structure. America being capitalistic and the European nations being socialist, the state can only have so much influence in its contributions to the companies. I also realized that the companies, being primarily nonprofit institutions, are not fully utilizing their resources. I then proposed that the only way to establish the cultural identity of concert dance within America is to do what America does best: establish corporate sponsorships. By understanding the current sports marketing, advertising, and sponsorship tactics being utilized by major corporations, I proposed the same tactics be used for concert dance companies. The financial risks would then be lifted from the companies whose sole purposes should be to create meaningful art. One way to fully test the effectiveness of this method would be a corporate sponsorship of a small dance company to see how it affects its growth. Because major companies have already established a rapport with its community, the effectiveness of the tactics would not be as apparent. After its effectiveness is evaluated, corporations could see the potential benefits of associating their brand with the brand of a cultural institution

LATAR BELAKANG DAN KARAKTERISTIK PERKEMBANGAN BAKAT ISTIMEWA MENARI

From so many special talents, one of it is dance. Learn, knowing, and study the background and the characteristics of someone who have a talented dancing is a kind of interesting activity, which has a purpose to identify the characteristics of someone who have a talent to dance with more easily. Directly, this thing can make a faster progress for someone’s special talent, facilitate, and improve it to be more maximal without using the dancer audition, which spends more time. Even though the dance auditions is disabled, this method will not decrease the dancer’s quality in personally (it can still create such amazing achievement) This research use a quantitative approach with life history method. The research's subjects are 2 peoples who have the talented dancing. Interview is the method that is used to collect the needed data. The research's procedures divided into two fases, pre­activity fase and whilst­activity fase. The data analysis itself, divided into three parts, first is data reduction, second is data display, and the last one is conclusion drawing or verification. After all, to check the data validity, the researcher use the triangulate technique, which is source triangulate that is collected from the closest friend of the subjects. From the result of research data, it is concluded that the background and the progress characteristics from both subject is using the discipline method in all their daily activities. Moreover, both subjects’ parents also give a full support, not only in physically side, but also from psychological side to the subjects. Both subjects are coming from the famous art school and well –known dance institution in Solo and Yogyakarta. That is why; both subjects have their own specification in creating a new kind of dancing style, that is Java’s dancing style and new creation dancing, just from looking their surrounding environment. In addition, they can also create the background music for their dance only in a short moment. The progress characteristics of childhood age of both subjects have already fulfilled and connected with art. They have already known and listened the Java’s traditional music instrument and spontaneous they dance by following the played music. On the elementary school age, they have already followed the dance competition and often presented their dancing ability in the art stage performance in their school. On the teen age, both subjects have fulfilled the requirements as the good dancer and they can obtain a deep understanding on the performed dance. The early­age of adult, both subjects could perform all the dancing movement technique and they could also create such spectacular new dancing style. On the mid­age of adult, both subjects’ movement still look flexible and smooth, then, they can still make the dance and background music too
