Selamat Datang! (Welcome!)

Hi, ada! Saya Joanna, dan saya dari Singapura.

Saya suka binatang, teater, wayang, musik – dan baru sajamemperoleh rasa untuk musik Gamelan setelah mempelajariselama beberapa bulan di bawah pengajaran Dr ThomasManhart di Universitas Nasional Singapura. Jadi, saya telahmenemukan konvergensi dari beberapa titik yang menarikmelalui kinerja ‘multi-media’ orang Jawa Wayang Kancil.

Saat ini saya melakukan sebuah proyek untuk menyelidikirelevansi, evolusi, dan revitalisasi seni Wayang Kancil dari diJawa Tengah dari tahun 1920 hingga saat ini. Jurnal inibertujuan untuk mendokumentasikan penemuan saya dengan cara yang mudah diakses dan menarik untuk penonton terutamadari Singapura dan Indonesia, lahir pada atau setelah tahun 1980-an, generasi digital melek huruf yang sangat akrab denganmedia baru atau Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK).Supervisor saya untuk proyek ini adalah Dr John Norman Miksicdari Departemen Studi Asia Tenggara di National University of Singapore.

Saya berharap bahwa studi masing-masing negara di Asia Tenggara melalui optik bentuk seni lama dan baru akan menjadibatu loncatan bagi saya untuk belajar lebih banyak tentang budaya Asia, sejarah, dan filsafat, dan memahami tempat saya di dalamnya.

Terutama jika Anda adalah salah satu dari teman-teman barusaya dari Jogja, itu akan membantu jika Anda bisa memberitahuteman Anda tentang blog ini juga! Umpan balik sangatmenyambut.

Hi, there! I am Joanna, and I am from Singapore.

I like animals, theatre, puppets, music – and have recently acquired a taste for Gamelan music after studying it for a few months under the teaching of Dr. Thomas Manhart at the National University of Singapore. Thus, I have found the convergence of these multiple points of interest through the ‘multi-media’ performance of the Javanese Wayang Kancil.

I am currently undertaking a project to investigate the relevance, evolution, and revitalization of the Wayang Kancil art from in Central Java from 1920s to the present. This journal aims to document my findings in a manner that is accessible and engaging to audiences primarily from Singapore and Indonesia, born in or after the 1980s, a digitally literate generation that is especially familiar with new media or Information Communication Technologies (ICTs). My supervisor for this project is Dr. John Norman Miksic of the Department of Southeast Asian Studies at the National University of Singapore.

I hope that the study of individual countries in Southeast Asia through the optic of old and new art forms will be a stepping stone for me to learn more about Asian culture, history, and philosophy, and to understand my place in it.

Especially if you are one of my new friends from Jogja, it would help if you could tell your friends about this blog too! Feedback is very much welcome.

    Hi Joanna
    I’m a teacher of Indonesian in Australia.
    My students are really enjoying learning about the art of wayang.
    I’ve found your website useful in stimulating class discussions.
    Thankyou!
    Kirsti

      Hey Kirsty! Thanks for getting in touch. I’m glad to know that my research could be beneficial to others. Do let me know of your class’s progress, especially if you get them to make animal wayang puppets of their own (I am a huge fan of Australian animals – the Echidna’s my favourite!).

    Hi Joanna,

    I am an American student currently applying for a grant to travel to Indonesia to study traditional art, specifically puppet theater. I am trying to get into contact with Pak Eddy from Gadjah Mada University. My professor at Oberlin College in Ohio has worked with him, but I am trying to get his contact information. Please feel free to email me, I would love to hear any advice you have or anyone you think I should get in contact with. Thank you!
