The Transformation of Sumbang Duo Baleh Values for Minangkabau Women Dancers: Based on Local Culture

摘要

Naturally women and men in Minangkabau community with maternal (matrilineal) systems have different roles especially related to dance activities. In the past dance, the activities were only expressed by men not for women. The present development has shifted values so that women dominate their expertise in dance activities, by giving birth to dance movements without making their natural fit as a Minangkabau woman. The Preliminary observations of dance works created by Minangkabau female choreographers are generally deprived of strong cultural root values as a basis for underlying the dance works he created. As a choreographer of Minangkabau women, the dance works that were created should be able to show a reflection of cultural values and provide educative messages. The results of the needs analysis required a dance creation development model based on the values of local wisdom with the content of the meaning of sumbang duo baleh values as signs in dance works. The purpose of this study is to describe the design based on needs analysis, which is manifested in the form of attitudes and basic forms of motion which are used as a basis for the development of dance. It is hoped that the choreographer will consider the principles of local wisdom values as the basis for the dance works created, so that the dance works can be appreciated by the community.
