This book is an introduction to the exquisite world of Balinese performance and an in-depth study of specific forms and the contextual landscape surrounding them.
The book explores all aspects of Balinese performance and describes four specific forms of contemporary performance that are unique to Bali: Wayang shadow-puppet theatre, Sanghyang ritual trance performance, Gambuh classical dance-drama, and the virtuoso art of Topeng masked theatre, followed by a final chapter examining recent innovations in contemporary performance. The focus is on examining and describing the techniques used in training performers and how these techniques can be applied to Western training in drama and dance. The book also explores the relationships between improvisation and structured dramatic forms, as well as between contemporary performance approaches and traditional heritage. It offers a guide to current practice, with detailed analyses of recent theatrical performances examining all aspects of production, performance, and audience reception.
The culturally unique theatrical events of Bali are contextualized within religious, intellectual, and social backgrounds to provide unparalleled insight into the mind and world of the Balinese performer. This new edition adds dynamic commentary on and analysis of innovations in contemporary Balinese performance since the original publication in 2007, alongside stunning new colour photographs.
