Abstract

Abstract: The Ngengkleng dance work is a dramatic dance work
inspired by the phenomenon of the postponement of the earth alms
tradition in Kesiman Village, Pandaan District, Pasuruan Regency. The
postponement of the ritual gave rise to anxiety and a sense of
collective guilt in the community which was linked to the Ngengkleng
phenomenon, a mental disorder experienced by a number of young
women. This work depicts the disruption of the balance of human
relations, nature, and spirituality due to the neglect of ancestral
traditions. The creation of the work uses Jacqueline Smith's
Construction Method I through the stages of initial stimulation,
determining the type of dance, presentation mode, improvisation,
evaluation, selection, refinement, and motif development. The form of
the work is a dramatic dance with a symbolic presentation mode that
combines elements of dance and theater. The performance structure
consists of an introduction and five scenes that represent the
emotional journey of the main character, starting from regret, anger,
loss, to the process of recovery through the earth alms ritual. The work
was performed on the proscenium stage of the Cak Durasim Building
in Surabaya with five female dancers as representatives of the
Ngengkleng characters. Performance accessories include natural
makeup, Javanese lurik clothing, miniature tumpeng props, dramatic
lighting, and traditional and midi music accompaniment. Through
movement, expression, and visual elements, this work emphasizes the
importance of tradition as a link between humans and nature,
ancestors, and spirituality. Ngengkleng is expected to become a
medium for cultural education and social reflection for the community,
as well as a creative contribution to the development of dramatic
dance in Indonesia.
Keywords: Ngengkleng, almsgiving to the earth, dramatic dance.
