Menurut koordinator acara, Ni Made Frischa Aswarini, selain menghadirkan nomor tari, akan tampil pula Gede Indra Prayogi, Juara 1 Lomba Baca Puisi Radar Bali Literary Award 2009 se-Bali dan Virgina Purnama Sanni, yang belum lama ini berhasil menjadi pembaca puisi terbaik dalam Festival Seni Pelajar se-Indonesia pada awal Juni lalu di Yogyakarta.

“Sepekan seni ini juga akan menghadirkan pemutaran film independent berjudul “Maaf Aku Pernah Melupakanmu” arahan sutradara Made Adnyana pada hari ketiga, Jumat, 26 Juni 2009. Ada juga pertunjukan Musikalisasi puisi oleh Teater Antariksa SMAN 7 Denpasar dan Teater Angin SMAN 1 Denpasar”, ujar Frischa Aswarini. Kedua grup musikalisasi ini berulang kali meraih gelar juara, bukan hanya se-Bali, bahkan juga Nasional.

Sebagai sajian penutup yakni 27 Juni 2009 akan tampil pegiat sastra dan teater Moch Satrio Welang didukung oleh Devi Larasati dan Inne Meryanti yang membawakan dramatisasi puisi Di Gaza Tahun Tak Berganti karya Semmi Ikra Anggara yang berhasil masuk sepuluh besar lomba cipta puisi Radar Bali Literary Award 2009.

Dalam kesempatan terpisah, Putu Supadma Rudana menyatakan kegembiraannya dapat mendukung acara Sepekan Seni Batubulan yang digagas oleh generasi muda dalam upaya mengembangkan minat dan bakat seni berdasarkan sikap kreatif yang penuh inovatif. Putu Supadma yang juga salah satu Ketua Nasional Asosiasi Museum Indonesia (AMI), mengungkapkan bahwa SRC (Supadma Rudana Center) didirikan sebagai sebuah lembaga nirlaba yang berupaya mengedepankan usaha pelestarian, pengembangan serta pemaknaan ulang atas seni budaya Bali, sekaligus juga keragaman dan kekayaan seni-seni serta budaya di banyak daerah di Indonesia lainnya.

“Lembaga ini saya dirikan dan dedikasikan untuk turut serta mengembangkan pemikiran-pemikiran Thinking Outside The Box. Yakni berpikir ke depan dengan menciptakan sesuatu untuk kemajuan bersama, termasuk membangun kesadaran tentang pentingnya menghormati keberagaman, toleransi, dan solidaritas sosial,” ujar Putu Supadma Rudana yang juga aktif sebagai pengurus berbagai organisasi sosial masyarakat. SRC didirikan dalam rangka turut mendorong tumbuhnya semangat ke-Bhinneka-an dalam perilaku dan tatanan sosial masyarakat Indonesia. “Jadi lembaga ini tidak hanya bergerak dalam bidang kesenian saja, melainkan juga bagaimana menumbuhkan pemikiran-pemikiran kritis generasi muda guna menciptakan Sumber Daya Manusia Indonesia yang unggul dan siap bersaing ditataran global,” tambah Putu Supadma.

Four Seasons has generously offered a 6 day, 5 night package in a One Bedroom Villa at its Jimbaran Bay resort to the first male and female athlete to finish the race. The top three athletes in each competing division will receive awards.

In 2008 the MRA Bali International Triathlon attracted more than 350 athletes and 2000 spectators from around the world, numbers the organizers hope to duplicate in 2009 due to the growing popularity of the sport both in the region and internationally. The Olympic distance event held in Bali includes an 1.5 km swim in Jimbaran Bay, a 40 km bike race down the island’s southernmost peninsula and a 10 km run through the traditional Balinese communities surrounding the bay.

As in years past, the race will be open to both individual athletes and corporate relays comprised of teams of three. A simultaneous 5km fun run will also be held during the event headquartered at the transition area on the beach in Jimbaran where food, drink, a merchandise bazaar and live music will all be on offer throughout the morning of June 28th.

It begins in the villages, where the seka or cultural groups are selected and organized at the regency level, vie with each other to perform the Arts Festival and thus display in front of a large audience the uniqueness of their village of birth and resting place of their ancestors.

The Bali Arts Festival is the Denpasar cultural event of the year, perhaps it would no be too far fetched to suggest that it is the cultural event of Indonesia. The festival is thus a unique opportunity to see local village culture both “live” and at first hand. Tourists are warmly welcomed.

When tourism took off after 1965, the Balinese insisted that it followed cultural guidelines: if tourism was to be accepted, it was to be a cultural tourism, or “pariwisata budaya”.

As the Balinese put it: “Tourism should be for Bali instead of Bali for tourism.” In time, this idea become national policy, as part of a larger revping of regional cultures for national purposes. The policy owes much to the former Director General of Culture (1968-1978) and Governor of Bali (1978-1988), Ida Bagus Mantra, an Indian-educed Balinese. It led, on the one side, to the creation of enclave resorts such as Nusa Dua to limit the direct impact of tourism, and on the other, to a long haul cultural policy aimed at nurturing and preserving the traditional agrarian culture while adapting it to the demands of modernity, and in particular of “cultural tourism”.

At the village level, local music groups, dances and other cultural events were inventoried, then supported by a series of contests at the district and regency level. The ensuing competition energized the cultural life of villages, whose “young blood” was already being drained to the city by the process of economic change and urbanization.

Schools of dance and art were created, in particular the Kokar conservatory and the STSI School of Dance and Music. Beside research, these schools replaced the traditional master/disciple relationship by modern methods of teaching; standardized the dance movements, produced new types of Balinese dances for tourism and modern village entertainment. Most important, it enabled former students to return to the villages as teachers, where they diffused, beside the creed of cultural resilience and renewal, new dances and standardized versions of old ones.

Many of the performances are held at the amphitheater which can hold up to 6,000 spectators, in a temple-like stage.

Each year, the Bali Arts Festival, beside the fed classical dances of the island, such as the legong, gambuh, kecak, barong, baris, mask dances and the like, is based on the theme around which new “dance choreography” is produced and old village dances and activities revived. Over the years, the whole range of classical Balinese stories – Ramayana, Mahabharata, Sutasoma, Panji – have thus been turned into “colossal” Sendratari Ballets.

The main challenge to the Arts Festival is obviously economic in nature. As village life is increasingly feeling the strains of monetary considerations, dancers, musicians and others cannot be expected to continue participating simply for the sake and the pleasure of it. As costs soar, new sources of financing have to be found. The obvious answer is the private sector and in particular the tourism industry. The greater task then is to convince the hotels, travel agencies and tourist guides to be more participatory in the Arts Festival rather than to their own sponsored events.

Considering the pride the Balinese have in their culture, and the adaptability and dynism they have always demonstrated, this little hurdle can be overcome. Trust the Balinese. They will eventually succeed to transform their tradition into a modern, Balinese culture of their own.

Over 3000 registered delegates, 119 scientific sessions with over 580 top-notch international and Indonesia speakers delivering over 910 presentations in 18 subspecialties. Over 150 free papers, 800 posters and 70 videos have been accepted. 14 Package Sponsors and over 100 exhibiting companies.

The joint congress offers an opportunity to explore Bali, “a truly beautiful tropical island with unique art and culture, plus breathtaking panoramas of cultivated rice terraces, awesome volcanoes, pristine beaches and thousands of temples – all blended with the traditional hospitality of Balinese people.”
