Revitalizing Reyog Kendang Tulungagung in the Globalization Age

摘要

Reyog Kendang Tulungagung is a local performing art that becomes the icon of Tulungagung regency. Despite its status as the icon of Tulungagung, the government and society continue the effort to preserve the existence of this art. There are various attempts done to preserve Reyog Kendang Tulungagung in this globalization era that influence local arts such as registering the art to HAKI and breaking MURI record. Using descriptive qualitative method and literature study, the researcher found several other new attempts namely batik pattern, aerobic, miniature, and ilustration (mascot) all of which included the elements of Reyog Kendang Tulungagung. These attempts were deeply appreciated by the public and government. Despite the alterations from dance into various forms, it did not leave out the distinctive feature of the art so Reyog Kendang Tulungagung can continue to exist inside or outside the native region.
