3 & 4 December 2014
The biannual Dance Showcase aims to demonstrate the learning outcomes of practical courses offered to students during the semester, assessed by dance lecturers and instructors throughout the staging of the dance showcase. This showcase also serves as a platform for students to create, manage, and present a stage production as well as to introduce and promote programs offered by the Dance Department of the Cultural Centre, University of Malaya.
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.
