the THE CHOREOGRAPHY PROCESS OF LALOBEREN DANCE BY FEBRIA IKA RUSTIYANA IN SUMENEP REGENCY

Abstract

The Laloberen dance is inspired by the Rokat Laloberen ritual tradition, a thanksgiving tradition as a form of fulfilling wishes or vows by the Madurese community. The purpose of this study is to describe in depth the choreographic process and form of the Laloberen dance work by Febria Ika Rustiyana. This research approach uses a qualitative descriptive method with a choreographic approach. Data collection techniques include direct observation, interviews with informants, and documentation. The results of this study show the process of creating the Laloberen dance work through the stages of exploration, improvisation, composition and evaluation. The exploration of Laloberen dance movements is carried out by observing and combining elements of Madurese dance movements which are developed into new movements. The improvisation process is carried out by creating new movements spontaneously and creatively. At this stage the choreographer transfers the movements to the dancers, then develops them as needed. Composition is done by arranging movements and floor patterns and arranging all supporting elements such as music, costume, and properties after the exploration and improvisation process. The evaluation stage selects by changing, adding and correcting the combination of basic elements such as movement, space, time, energy, and floor patterns and costumes. The predetermined design form is expressed in the media in the form of movement, floor patterns, music, make-up, costume design, properties and stage design. The distinctive feature of the Laloberen dance lies in the replica of the scene when pulling the ketupat lober which contains yellow rice and a number of coins and a boat procession, so that when the work is displayed it is able to present the Rokat Laloberen traditional activities. This research is expected to provide a motivation to produce good and quality works for those who want to process and work so as to create more creative works, as well as provide suggestions for the preservation and development of dance arts in Madura.
