Wayang Bocor Process \u2013 Part 1<\/strong><\/p>\n Songs and Forms Exploration<\/strong><\/p>\n September 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n In its previous works, Wayang Bocor tends to present performances in dialogues. However, in this new work, Wayang Bocor tries to do an exploration in the forms of visual, body movement, and songs to present a more universal language and more easily accepted by broader audience. This new style of performance requires Wayang Bocor team to be more creative in their exploration.<\/p>\n The team\u2019s early process is doing an exploration of the scenes and music\/songs, as well as on how body movement can be a symbol for meaning. In the meantime, the team also explores how javanese-islamic music and songs reference can be strongly presented. This early exploration is the first step for the next step, which is artistic and visual exploration of wayang<\/em> by contemporary artist Eko Nugroho as the initiator of idea and visual maker.<\/p>\n Photo by Gogor Seta Dewa<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wayang Bocor Goes to United States Wayang Bocor Process \u2013 Part 1 Songs and Forms Exploration September 2016 On September, Wayang Bocor team started the process of a new work that will be specially presented for Asia Society in New York, USA.

<\/a>On September, Wayang Bocor team started the process of a new work that will be specially presented for Asia Society in New York, USA. The script is titled \u201cIn the Name of Semelah\u201d by Gunawan Maryanto, who also acts as the director for this performance. \u201cSemelah\u201d is the Javanese pronunciation of the Arabic word \u201cBismillah\u201d. Semelah <\/em>becomes a symbol of a strong acculturation between Javanese culture and Islamic teachings that live in harmony. For Muslims, bismillah <\/em>means \u201cin the name of God (Allah<\/em>)\u201d, a prayer that is said every day before starting activities. Muslims believe that by saying bismillah<\/em>, their daily lives will always get blessings from God.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a> <\/a><\/a> <\/a><\/a><\/p>\n
