Festival Dongeng International Indonesia – Storyteller Performance

Last Monday, November 21st, we had some visitors from Ubud Writer’s Storytellers. They were Kak BudiBaikBudi, Kak Aio, Jeeva Raghunath & Kacak Kicak. This event was organized by a group of students from the London School of Public Relations and Ayo Dongeng International. The primary students were very excited to watch this storyteller’s performances, they were laughing, clapping, and screaming while watching their performances. The sounds of every different character of the story were amazing with its own characters, and the students were so excited to learn many sounds from a storyteller. The students were very enthusiastic about answering the question of the quiz & the gift that they were given after each performance finished. At the end the students wrote on a paper the answer of “If you were in a Fairytale, What Character Would you be?”. Thank you for being a good story audience. 

 

Indonesian Studies: Wayang Characters in The Ramayana Story

In Indonesian Studies class, the Kindergarten students learn how the story is told by using wayang kulit, the traditional shadow puppet show from Indonesia.

Wayang has been used to entertain and teach people about local wisdom since the 9th century on Java island. It was played particularly during the night on a special occasion. Nowadays wayang performance has been improved with the help of technology.

Before the online learning last week, Kindergarten students had been introduced to wayang and the characters in the Ramayana story. Most of them simply recognized the bad and good characters and were able to mention some general information about the characters.

This week they were given a chance to make their own wayang using paper. They may choose their favorite characters to be colored, cut, and played soon. 

The character Sita is the most favorite one among the girls, and the rest of the class show different preferences such as Rama, Laksmana, Ravana, Hanuman, and Jatayu. 

Here are some pictures of the activity in the class. (Ibu Ina)
