Yogyakarta – boisterous public meeting or in part outside the Palace of Yogyakarta Pura Paku Alaman. Typically, the crowd just outside or centered on the Square in the palace that night filled with stalls lesehan. Enough with the glass of coffee or hot ginger, where people can survive for hours chatting. Drinking, chatting and eating rice cat. All three are privileged to enjoy a blend of Yogyakarta.
That night Pura Paku Alaman was performing classical dance style of Yogyakarta. Obviously! Reference this show comes from the standard procedure in the court. Meanwhile, in the afternoon, a number of folk art exhibited in the courtyard palace is often referred to as the Square Sewandanan. Similarly, the event was held for three consecutive days. Department of Culture held in cooperation with two of Yogyakarta palace in Yogyakarta, the Sultanate and Paku Alaman.
Classical repertoire on the first day of the Dance Srimpi Renggawati. Dancers danced by five men, one of which acts as a Goddess Renggawati. Once, the goddess found a white meliwis none other than the incarnation of King Angling Darma. The Goddess Renggawati itself is basically the incarnation Setyawati – consort of King. As a result, encounter both serene feel of a sweep. Not to mention the pulsating dance accompaniment with a slow tempo. Overall the feel of a mind that is very touching.
On the second day, the composition shown is the dance drama titled Banjaransari and backgrounds Ramayana puppet people. At first glance impression on the second day is a colossal elements. Appearing in the show dancers both male and female senior and young young. In closing on the third day, which is displayed is Bedhaya Angron Akung Dance, performed by seven female dancers. It is as reinforce its position as the highest caste in this type of Javanese dance, the repertoire comes with accompaniment and an impressive all-round fashion.
Observed one at a dance-dance classic Yogyakarta style, slowly starting to look a difference with the Surakarta style that I saw a while ago. In the case of hand movements, classical dance style of the dominant Yogyakarta by folding the thumb and four fingers leaving the other open meetings. Meanwhile, the other fingers will be sealed between the forefinger with the thumb to form a coil that looks manicured hands. Movement is present in this type of dance and dance daughter’s son. At first glance the impression that can not only slender but firmly. A combination of strength and softness.
In terms of costumes, classical dance performances Yogyakarta style looks more simple, no indulgence in colorful fabric sheen and luster of gold jewelry. The layman can definitely see the difference between classical dance dress in costume “Javanese wayang” commonly appears on television. There is a similarity of forms, but the detail and variety of different dressing.
See what comes either from the movement as well as clothes, dance classic Yogyakarta style comes with a certain identity between Javanese dance in general. Looking back, it is highly unusual given the birth of the palace itself, which is a fraction of the previous Islamic Mataram dynasty centered in Surakarta. Like a younger brother that make up the identity, of course not the same as his elder brother. See it in the present era, or perhaps later, the feel of softness, strength, and simplicity that appear in classical dance performances like the hope that these elements are always there in the Yogyakarta special.
