The quality of the performance is dependent on your students being prepared to exhibit appropriate behavior. Please read and discuss the following behavioral mandates with your students before the performance. Your Role as an Audience Member The audience is an important part of any performance. Your behavior as an audience member will affect the performance you see. Performers are people too and will be working really hard to perform for you. Their performance and everyone's experience of it will be even better if you follow the following instructions: Enter the performance space quietly and take your seat as directed. Remember that seeing a live show is not like watching TV or a movie. The performers are in the same room with you and can see and hear you. Please don t talk during the performance. The performers need you to watch and listen quietly. Talking to friends disturbs the performers and other members of the audience and is rude and disrespectful. Please stay in your seats during the performance. Please show respect for the performers and your fellow audience members by sitting up in your seats and keeping your feet on the floor. You can laugh if something is funny and clap at the end of the performance or after a song. Using your cell phone, taking pictures or recording is not allowed during the performance. Please remain seated at the end of the performance. Standards for Theatre Etiquette TH.K.S.1.1 Demonstrate appropriate audience behavior at a live performance.

4 B a l i - t h e m o r n i n g o f t h e w o r l d Bali is one of over 17,500 islands that make up the republic of Indonesia., the fourth most populous country in the world. Its rich landscape of hills, volcanic mountains, sandy beaches and lush rice terraces along with tropical fauna and flora, provides a photogenic backdrop to its colorful and deeply spiritual culture, awarding the island the famed nicknames such as, The Island of the Gods, The Morning of the World and The Island of a Thousand Temples. The core of Balinese culture is Balinese Hinduism, which has developed as the unique blend of Hinduism, Tantric Buddhism, native animism, ancestor worship and magico-religious rituals, reflecting influence from different Asian cultures and traditions over centuries. Balinese Hinduism (called Agama Hindu Dharma in Indonesian) permeates every thread of Balinese life; from daily rituals to rites of passage celebrations, interpersonal relationships to the structure of the society. P e r f o r m i n g a r t s o f b a l i The arts of Bali are also reflections of its spiritual beliefs and values, rather than a mode of self-expressions. Dance, theater, music, visual arts, architecture - all art forms exist and are utilized to please the deities, celebrate spirituality and convey moral messages based on Balinese Hindu principles. Among the all Balinese art forms, dance and theater is the most prominent, arresting showcase of beauty and refinement, otherworldly gamelan music, regal costumes with fine fabric and intricate leather work, sophisticated wood masks and magnificent architecture. Dance and theater is also irreplaceable entertainment in otherwise rather plain Balinese village life. It unites Balinese people from the young to the aged, thus making itself as an important social function. As traditional dances and theaters tread steady decline in the rest of the world, Balinese performing arts are thriving, churning new creations and generating ever increasing number of artists while maintaining the Unique style as well as cultural and spiritual values expressed through the arts. GAMELAN The set of instruments which make up a traditional Indonesian music ensemble. It could be as few as two metallophones or as many as sixty different percussive and wind instruments. Gamelan Angklung (the bamboo percussion) was recognized as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in DANCE Balinese dance was created and has been performed as the offering to the deities and ancestral spirits. It is characterized by intricate hand gestures, sharp eye movements, low stances and dynamic yet refined choreography. All movements are done on both the right and left sides to establish harmony, which is the reflection of Rwa Bhineda (the balance between opposite forces), the principle of Balinese philosophy. Masks have been used in Balinese dance for centuries, predating the arrival of Hindu culture from India. In Bali, dance is performed at temple ceremonies, rites of passage rituals, social functions and tourism sites. Any village that can afford it has its own gamelan ensemble and dance club where anyone from the young to the aged can learn to dance for free of charge. THEATER In Bali, theater cannot be separated from dance and gamelan. Performers are required to be skilled in acting, dancing, singing and chanting. Stories of popular theatrical works have been taken from the Indian epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata, as well as indigenous Indonesian epics and chronicles such as Malat and Babad. Gambuh, the oldest Balinese theater was developed from elegant performances at Javanese courts. SHADOW PUPPET Shadow puppet is considered to be the source of Balinese dance. Its highly stylized movement reflects the motion of jointed puppet figures. In Bali, Wayang Kulit (shadow puppet in Indonesian) is not only for children, but for people of all ages. It is the medium to convey moral messages and philosophy in entertaining and artistic manner. Wayang Kulit was also designated as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. 4

5 B a l i n e s e s h a d o w p u p p e t ; t i m e l e s s a r t Shadow puppet is a popular entertainment throughout southeastern Asia. It originated in India in the first century BCE. In Bali, it has been performed for over a thousand years and is a fixture at temple ceremonies and in passage of life rituals. The majority of Wayang Kulit ( shadow puppet theatre in Indonesian) stories are taken from Indian epics such as Mahabharata and Ramayana, as well as indigenous Indonesian epics and chronicles such as Malat and Babad. Every item in Wayang Kulit symbolizes life on earth. The dalang (puppeteer) is considered to be the God who infuses life forth into shadow puppets. The screen, stretched across bamboo poles, symbolizes the universe. The banana tree trunk at the base of the screen which the puppets are struck into, is Pertiwi, the Mother Earth. The oil lamp is the sun, casting energy to the world. The dalang needs to be a master storyteller; not only he must be able to render stories in the immense repertoire and understand all the characters in depth, but he must also be able to change vocal qualities instantaneously, while manipulating multiple puppets. He chants the numerous classics in the proper metrical forms, leads the musicians, sends cues to his assistants, dispenses moral advice, and interjects some humor, to entertain his audience over several hours. S a n g k a n c i l : i n d o n e s i a n f o l k t a l e Sang Kancil is a collection of short stories about a trickster mouse deer. It is a favorite folktale among the children in Indonesia and has been widely featured in children s literature, comics, and cartoons. Mouse deer has legs and tails of deer while its face and body resemble those of mouse. Mouse deer lives in the jungles in Indonesia, as well as in other parts of Asia, Africa, and Pacific islands. Being weak and as small as cat, mouse deer is often a target for larger and more powerful animals. It must be quick, resourceful, and smart to survive. Kancil ( clever one in Indonesian), the protagonist of the folktale, is full of wit and often cunning. He tricks other animals to escape from trouble and protect himself. This folklore character is similar to Br'er Rabbit from southern Unites States and Anansi the Spider from Africa. Copyright 2014 Asian Dance & Theatre by Surapsari 5

It has legs and tails of deer while its face and body resemble those of mouse. Have your students draw and color a mouse deer. G a m e l a n Gamelan is a generic term for the traditional music style, instruments, and orchestra that originated in Indonesia. Its ensemble could consist of as few as two metallophones or as many as sixty different percussive and wind instruments. Currently, there are over thirty types of gamelan ensemble in Bali. Any village that can afford it owns a gamelan ensemble and club where villagers, from the young to the aged can come and learn the art. Gamelan is a symbol for unity and solidarity. The musicians gather together and practice the same piece of music again and again, over a long period of time. Each music piece is taught orally with great deal of demonstration; there is no written textbook to refer to, definitely no lessons on the Internet! The musicians support each other by giving constructive critique and instructing younger, less experienced members. There is no room for personal interpretation or improvisation in gamelan. Through the process of practice, the musicians, regardless of their ages become strongly bonded, as one family. Traditionally, gamelan had been played only by men, but that changed with modernity. Nowadays, many villages have a women s gamelan ensemble where grandmothers, housewives, young ladies, and girls happily beat drums and hit metallophone keys. Some women s gamelan clubs enter contests and perform for tourists. *For a complete listing of the Florida Standards Connections please refer to pages of this study guide. 6

8 THE CLEVER MOUSE-DEER Indonesian Folktale Mouse Deer and Elephant One day, Mouse Deer was taking a walk and fell into a huge hole made by hunters. He screamed for help. Help, help me, I m here! But no one came to rescue him. This is a deep hole. There is no way for me to get out of here by myself. After a while, Elephant walked by. Mouse Deer said to himself, Wow, elephant! I have a great idea! He shouted out to Elephant, Come down here! Hurry up! The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Come down and stay inside the hole with me. It s safe here!" Elephant, confused and scared, foolishly believed Mouse Deer and slid down into the hole. Great! Here I come! Mouse Deer quickly hopped onto the elephant's back and then jumped out of the hole. Mouse Deer and Crocodile One day, Mouse Deer wanted to cross a river, but Crocodile was blocking his way. Oh, my! If I cross the river, Crocodile will eat me up! Eventually, Mouse Deer got an idea. He said to Crocodile," If you want to eat me, you must open up your jaws as big as you can!" "Why do I have to do that?" asked Crocodile. Mouse Deer replied, "I want to see how strong and sharp your teeth are. I don't want to be eaten by a crocodile with weak teeth!" Crocodile nodded and opened his jaws as big as he could. While he keeps his jaws open, Mouse deer swam across the river and shouted to Crocodile, Yeah! I fooled you! Mouse Deer successfully reached the other side of the river, leaving angry crocodile far behind. Mouse Deer and Dog One day, Mouse Deer was stealing corns from a farmer s field. He looked around to make sure that no one was watching him, except for a scarecrow. Scarecrow? Huh! You can t scare me off. You are just standing there, doing nothing, Mr. Straw Man! Mouse Deer kicked Scarecrow with his tiny leg, but it stuck inside Scarecrow. The farmer used a lot of glue to put straws together to form Scarecrow. Mouse Deer s leg was now glued to the straws. Aduh, aduh, ouch, ouch! Someone, please come and help me! Farmer heard Mouse Deer. He came to the field and caught Mouse Deer still holding the corns. It s you again, a sneaky little mouse deer! I put you in a cage, so that you can learn a lesson! Mouse Deer was locked inside the cage. Now, how can I get out? Farmer s dog came by and laughed at Mouse Deer. Look who s inside the cage! You ll be cooked tomorrow morning for Farmer s breakfast! Mouse Deer stayed calm and said, You are wrong. I m not going to be cooked. Tomorrow morning, I will marry Farmer s beautiful daughter. Our marriage will cast a magic spell on me, and I will turn into a prince. Farmer put me in the cage so that no one can attack me until our wedding. Dog got jealous. I want to marry Farmer s beautiful daughter and become a prince! This tiny mouse=deer is no good for such a special treatment. I should be the one who becomes a prince! So, Dog said to Mouse Deer, Farmer must have tricked you. You will surely be cooked tomorrow morning. Poor mouse deer, let me release you right now. Run as fast as you can, before Farmer notices that you escaped from the cage! Thank you, Dog! You are my true friend! Mouse Deer got out of the cage and ran away as fast as he could. Now, Dog excitedly entered the cage and sat there throughout the evening, hoping that he would be turned into a prince in the next morning. Copyright 2014 Asian Dance & Theatre by Surapsari 8
