Doing art as a form of worship is all the more clearly seen if we look at wayang kulit, or shadow puppet theater. This art form is said to originate from Java, although it has taken on a special aspect during its developt in Bali.

Looking at its constituent artistic elements, Wayang kulit at once features dance in movement of the puppets, traditional music from its gender wayang gamelan ensemble, fine art in its finely carved puppets which appear in the various iconic forms of wayang and in full color, voice the vocal effect and erudite narration of the puppeteer, and above all the literature from which the puppeteer gets the philosophy on human life as moral education inherent in the dalang's verse. Truly a holistic art form.

The art of wayang began by narrating tales of the lives of deified ancestors. In its subsequent development it was greatly influenced by Hindu culture from India. This aesthetic, based on the Ramayana and Mahabrata epics has been the unifying feature of wayang ever since and cannot be separated from it.

In Bali, Wayang kulit is multi-functional, being at once wali (sacred - only for ceremonial use), bebali (as an antecedent to a ceremony), and also balih-balihan ( a form af secular entertainment). When it is functioning as wali or bebali, the important thing about wayang kulit is tirtha wayang-the holy water sought and used by the puppeteer, or dalang. The quality of the performance is most certainly secondary to this, particularly when performed in the middle of the day when few people are likely to attend the performance (wayang lemah). May be this is because wayang lemah doesn't use a screen an light source, thus diminishing its artistic content. No, the people are far more likely to watch enthusiastically during an evening performance, whether the show is purely for entertainment (balih-balihan), or as part of a religious ceremony (bebali). Bearing in mind its sacred function, wayang kulit does not necessarily depend for its success on a huge audience. Whether there are 100 or only two or three spectators, the show goes on regardless, because the holy water involved in the ceremonial side of the performance makes it just as important to perform for the environment as for human onlookers. And because of its sacred function, the puppeteer never imposes any kind of tariff for his efforts. The dalang is easily satisfied as long as the performance runs smoothly and the onlookers are cheered in the process. Retribution is a secondary consideration, particularly for the experienced puppeteer who understands the code of ethics associated with his craft, designed to avoid commercialization. And when staging a show called suddhamala, the dalang never accepts a fee, in agreement with the society of dalangs. If this rule is disobeyed, the moral sanctions are serious indeed. That's why we see the puppeteer carrying out his duties more with an air of devotion an worship, than as a means of acquiring income, just like the dancers of sacred dances we looked at earlier.

However, for the Balinese, the arts should not be confined to the temple. Actually the enthusiasm with which the arts are performed in holy places is just as evident elsewhere. Performing seems to be in the life blood of the Balinese, whether they are factory workers, tailors, drivers, tradesmen, or field workers by day, in the evening they perform a musicians, dancers and puppeteers. This is because for the Balinese it is difficult to categorize people as artists, farmers, civil servants and so on. Many dancers will tell you that they regard themselves as farmers-their daily occupations. Many many dancers are in daily life chauffeurs and office workers.

The truth is that almost every banjar (smallest village unit) has a gamelan, dancers and musicians. Youngsters practice gamelan on days set aside for this. The girls study dancing in the banjar, and more recently many attend classes at dance studies that use more modern teaching methods. For Balinese women, dancing is an obligation and a skill they feel they must acquire.

It's not surprising then, that many of the traditional and profane arts have enjoyed an unbroken growth and development. Joged, Drama Gong, Arja, and Janger, are just a few examples of these art forms. They are performed in a whole variety of places - in temples, banjar, in open ground, at the edge of main roads, and even in five star hotels in front of tourist audiences.

However, the balih-balihan art from which has most attracted admiration far and wide is the intricately beautiful Legong. There is a strong possibility that the Legong developen from the wali dance sanghyang dedari, but the influence of Gambuh is also quite clearly present.

Legong can accommodate a number of different stories. With highly feminine costume accessories, like hand-held fans, Legong tells of love, heroism an loyalty through a choreographic style both abstract and expressive, and which has set the standard for many newer dance forms which followed. Its shining costumes are the trademark of the dance which was developed under the patronage of the royal courts of the past.

Legong is an inheritance from the courts and court culture. It is a creative art form which gave prestige and dynastic status to the former rulers. It's glittering individuality is difficult to mimic, and its image smiling faces with flashing glances, are easy to find in books, tourism brochures, post cards and so forth.

If Legong tends towards high art, Joged on the other hand is a Balinese dance meant purely for entertainment. It is performed in a friendly and far from formal atmosphere. Agreeably presented, the dancers invite avid audience will be particularly keen it ngibing-to dance alongside the dancing girls, who full of bravado, swing their shapely hips with a coy smile. Boisterous is perhaps the best way to describe the scene that unfolds.

Actually there are several different forms of Joged, although the most common is Joged Bumbung, so called because the dance is accompanied by a gamelan orchestra made from resonant bamboo tubes. Joged Bumbung is evenly spread over the whole of Bali, although different groups from different areas have developed their own styles and identity. Some are romantic, others mediocre, some embarrassing.

Audience participation is a must in Joged Bumbung, and a keen enthusiasm for this is most evident in the male members of the throng. And at the peak of excitement, it's not unusual for the proceedings to become confusion, for example when the dancer comes face to face with a coarse brute with no thought for decency. Such people are looking for cheap thrills, fondling the dancer where he shouldn't. Luckily most dancers are highly adept at avoiding these advances, turning each attack into a spontaneously choreographed escape.

This balih-balihan art form which also involves youngsters, is Janger, performed by a group of mixed teenagers who sing and dance with passion giving an impression of peace and tranquility. Usually they sing in chorus, elegantly exchanging phrases between the girls and the boys.

The content of the songs usually centre around social matters, and focus particularly on the world of the young. Unrequited love, betrayal, longing, thwarted marriage, are some of the themes dealt with in the Janger song. Meanwhile the beauty of nature, village life, social cooperation and religious duty are included as stocking fillers.

Janger is thought to have developed during the thirties, and some believe that it stemmed from the harvest songs of the farming community, others meanwhile prefer to believe it stemmed from the chorus scenes of the Sanghyang dance to exorcise evil spirits which is still in existence in certain villages. Besides singing and dancing, Janger also features the narration of folk stories-both traditional and modern. The late I Made Keredek of Singapadu village, Gianyar was leading figure in the development and popularization of this dance form.

While Janger is these days experiencing a lull in popularity, Drama Gong never loses momentum. These folk stories with a moral tale were amongst those which came about in 1996. The story goes that a young man called Anak Agung Raka Payadnya began to experiment. This Denpasar arts school-Kokar-pupil devised a kind of fusion theatre in his village- Abianbase, in Gianyar. It was a modern theatrical form but contained traditional elements. It used a gong kebyar orchestra for musical accompaniment, a set of instruments possessed by almost every village in Bali.

This art form, which later became known as Drama Gong (because of the gong kebyar accompaniment) soon showed its potential. The Abianbase gong group led by Payadnya became famous throughout Bali, and soon other groups were formed far and wide.

In fact the popularity of Drama Gong continues to this day, and it is perhaps the best seller performance art form, outshining all others. Its thirty year development is highly prestigious for this art which was the serendipitous creation of a teenage schoolboy.

The stories featured in Drama Gong generally come from the tales of the P

If you are in Bali between July and October, you will have the opportunity to experience the Negara bull races. The pampered bulls are spruced up with accessories, hitched in pairs to makeshift chariots, and steered by jockeys who combine their riding skills and tail twisting to induce maximum performance.

Then there is also the rice harvest festival, which is dedicated to the rice god Dewi Sri. This is a blessed season for the villages and the entire place will be repainted and decorated with flags. An atmosphere of happiness pervades. Small straw rice-god dolls are placed throughout the fields and villages as a tribute.

Indonesia's Independence Day falls on August 17, when the Republic of Indonesia achieved independence from the Dutch.

Balinese ceremonies are normally held during late afternoons or evenings when the day is cooler. They also hold firm to the belief that the island is owned by the supreme god Sanghyang Widhi, and has been handed down to the Balinese in sacred trust. To show their appreciation, the people fill their waking hours with symbolic activities and worship. If you see a procession of women garbed in traditional wear, carrying small bowls or balancing towering offerings on their heads, or a group of batik-clad men with headcloths, just put on a shirt, grab your camera and mingle with the crowd - you will always be welcomed.

Mythical and magical, a diamond shaped island (140km by 80km) of spectacular volcanic mountains and lakes, enchanting rice terraces, ancient temples and palaces, surrounded by sparkling coral seas, Bali is alight with cultures and traditions.

Renowned for its influential and enterprising architecture, traditional dance and theatre and elaborate religious festivals, the effusive Balinese culture is a lively and dynamic force that is constantly fusing the old and traditional with the new and innovative.

You may be surprised by Bali's modern tourist facilities, but you'll be amazed by its medieval culture - a vibrant civilisation still living and breathing its golden age.

Helpful Hints

2008-08-09T01:42:00.000-07:00

What do I take ?...
Not much. Your suitcase should be at least ½ empty for all the clothes and souvenirs you are going to bring back. Bali is a very relaxed place and you will not need any fancy evening wear as it's not required. You will also find that when you are there you will be wearing things that you wouldn't be caught dead in at home. ( remember those hawaiian shirts from the 60's )

Humidity :
If you aren't used to humidity, it's like sticking your entire body in the oven with the sunday roast. Don't over do things on the first day or two, till you acclimatise. It helps if you DON'T have the room airconditioner at its polar setting. Have it a few degrees cooler than ouside but not so that your sunglasses steam up when you open the door for room service. This will also help stop the common problem of catching a cold from constantly being in and out of your room. Keep up your fluids by drinking at least 3 litres a day. [ I make no suggestions on what to drink , but remember that alcohol also dries you out ] Also see : Video camera's and Humidity, further down.

Hair Dryer :
NO : Your hotel should have a hair dryer if not in the room ... on request from house keeping.

Electricity :
220V , 50 Cycle and the plugs are dual round prongs of the European variety. Adapters are available at some hotels OR can be purchased at Matahari's ( supermarket ) for around 35,000 Rp. If you are taking anthing of great value like a mobile phone , video camera or laptop computer that need batteries recharged , take along a surge protection plug OR 4 way power outlet ( power board ) with surge protection. This way you only need 1 adapter but have 4 power outlets.

Video Camera's:
One thing video cameras don't like is sudden humidity. Every camera has a humidity detection sensor built in to prevent the camera from shorting out. This will probably come on the first day in Bali. It's nothing to worry about as it will clear in around 45 min's when the camera acclimatises. To save you any hassle , when you arrive in Bali , place the camera outside for a while at a table while you have a drink or bite to eat , then when you take it back to your room place it inside a cupboard OR anywhere it doesn't get direct cold air from your airconditioner or you will have to start the process again.

Footwear :
A pair of sandals and a sturdy comfortable pair of joggers or walking shoes. If you are going off the beaten track , a pair of hiking boots are highly recommended. Shoe sizes in Bali are smaller than western sizes.

Ladies Clothes sizes :
Keep in mind that the Asian people are fairly small and therefore the size range available is from tiny to medium build. Although there are a growing number of stores stocking larger ( Western sized apparel ) You may have to shop around for the bigger sizes.

Men's Clothes sizes :
Not as big a problem as the Ladies have ... there is a larger range of extra large male attire.

Kid's Clothes :
What a range, you will not have any problem finding clothes for your kids & teenagers OR your entire neighbourhood's kids. The Balinese people adore children and they more than show this in the 100's of designer clothes labels available for children. Great choices at the markets as well.

Bumbag / Money belt
As the value of the Rupiah is falling, you will need something to keep your exchanged money in and I found a "bumbag" very handy. You can either take one with you OR purchase one there for Rp 10,000 or less.

Passport :
Unless you have travellers cheques there is no need to carry your passport around. I suggest you lock it away in a safety deposit box in your hotel OR some where you are comfortable that it is safe. ( Jot down your passport number and visa number on a piece of paper just in case. Even better take along some photocopies. Its better to lose that than your passport. ) Speaking of not losing something...DONT lose that little piece of paper the immigration guy gives you back, when you enter the country. You WILL need that when you go to leave.

That latter job was coming to an end, so David Gilmour had plenty of time to take on this last-ditch attempt at educating Jesse.

“I realized the battle was already lost, that we were deluding ourselves if we felt we could force this kid to do anything in school. It was only a question of whether we were going to lose him, as well,” said Gilmour, who chronicles the experiment in the new book “The Film Club” (Twelve).

“He wasn’t like some belligerent, sullen kid. He was a great, sunny guy who happened to hate high school. He was ill-served by going to school. He likes to talk, and he likes to watch movies, so I thought, let’s give the guy something to do that gives him pleasure and see where he goes.”

After Jesse dropped out of 10th grade in 2001, Gilmour started their viewing off with “The 400 Blows,” Francois Truffaut’s early masterpiece about a Paris teenager who turns to petty crime in rebellion against neglectful parents and a repressive school life.

Jesse’s reaction to “The 400 Blows”? “A bit boring,” he told his dad.

But the movie sparked the first dialogue of the Film Club, Jesse revealing that he had worried greatly about failing school and now feared he might have ruined his life.

Gilmour took that as a positive sign, telling Jesse it meant “you’re not going to relax into a bad life.”
