Indonesian Dance

back

Participants will be introduced to the core principals of Indonesian dance including hand gestures, movements taken from everyday processes such as dressing, collecting rice etc. The subtleties will be explored including the presentation of emotions through dance and the difference between strong male and female characters.

Participants may be encouraged to develop their own movement in groups, which could piece together into a larger work. This project would combine well with Gamelan music, possibly creating new or traditional music to accompany the dance.
