- Abstract
Jaipongan is a style of Sundanese dance impacted by the creativity of the Bandung artist Gugum Gumbira, who in the 1970s developed ketuk tilu, a genre traditionally associated with female courtesan singers. He evolved the genre into a performance-oriented stage dance, calling it jaipongan. The form was criticized by some, including government officials, as exploiting the female body. However, jaipongan's mass popularity saved the folk form from extinction, and jaipongan became a strong influence on ketuk tilu itself. Een Herdiani (S.Sen, M.Hum) studied at the Academy of the Dance (Akademi Seni Tari Indonesia) in Bandung and completed graduate degrees at Sekolah Tinggi Seni Indonesia (Indonesian University of the Arts) in Surakarta and the University of Gadjah Mada, before her doctoral work at the University of Padjadjaran. She has danced since her childhood and participated in cultural missions representing Indonesia abroad. She serves as the rector of Insitut Seni Budaya Indonesia (Indonesian Institute of Arts and Culture) in Bandung. She is the author of Dinamika Tari Rakyat di Priangan (Dynamics of Folk Dance in the Priangan Highlands; Bandung: Sunan Ambu, 2014).
