Embodied Heritage: The Creative Process Behind Karang Tumandang Dance in Karanganyar

Sri Kristati, Mulyanto Mulyanto, Slamet Supriyadi

Abstract


The objective of this paper is to describe how the Karang Tumandang dance became the identity of Karanganyar Regency. This study was designed using a qualitative method and a descriptive approach. Informants, including the Head of the Education and Culture Office of Karanganyar Regency c.q Head of Culture, choreographers, composers, dance teachers, Karawitan teachers, and students, provided the research data. The study's focus is on the Karang Tumandang dance. Observation, interviews, and documentation are among the data collection strategies. Based on the study's results, the Karang Tumandang dance is based on the interpretation of a prominent female character in Karanganyar Regency, Nyi Ageng Karang. The creator team created the Karang Tumandang dance in stages, beginning with interpreting the character interpretation and progressing to constructing the dance structure and selecting movements. During the dance creation stage, the following procedures were also implemented: exploration, improvisation, and composition. As a regional identity, the dance contains local wisdom values that are reflected in several types of movements, costume, accompaniment cakepan, and floor pattern forms. This dance is then published and socialized to the community, mainly through learning or training at school or studio levels. Another form of effort made by the Karanganyar Regency Education and Culture Office is to hold a Karang Tumandang dance competition for elementary (SD), junior high school (SMP), and senior high school/vocational school students (SMA/SMK).
