A blog on the performing arts of Indonesia - performances, films and videos, meetings, noteworthy discussions and ongoing research into Indonesian performance from a transnational perspective.
Welcome to Indonesian Performance
I started this blog in October 2008 in preparation for a trip to Indonesia. It is a space to share some of my thoughts and ideas about what I am writing, researching, studying, performing and thinking about. I have long-standing research interests in the world of wayang; Indonesia's diverse popular theatres such as komedi stambul, ketoprak, ludruk, sandiwara and tarling; and the arts and culture of Cirebon. I am also a practicing dalang (shadow puppeteer) - having studied at both ISI Surakarta and with a number of Cirebon puppeteers. I use this blog to report on all Indonesian performing arts - folk, classical, popular and modern - as well as visual culture on occasion.
