3 & 4 December 2014
Ayak-Ayak is one of the most important items in the Joget Gamelan court dance repertoire. Ayak-Ayak opens any formal presentation of Joget Gamelan. Its storyline depicts the court maidens and servants at work, slaughtering chickens, goats, and cows in preparation for the marriage of Raden Galoh Cendra Kirana to Raden Inu kartapati (Marion D’Cruz, 2011). The title could also be translated as ‘swaying’ due to the slow and graceful movements of the dancers. In Ayak-Ayak, dancers carry gilded fans to imitate animal characteristics or movements.
