Atandâng is a dance piece that departs from Sri Cicik Handayani’s exploration of the relationship between the penayub and the tandâ woman. Penayub is a male dancer and Tandâ is a female dancer in the Madurese Tayub traditional social dance. In this work, the choreographer attempts to trace the nandâng (dancing) activities of the penayub by rereading the gestures and corporeality of the male body in traditional dance choreography through the perspective of female penandâ’.

Choreographer: Sri Cicik Handayani | Dancers: Sri Cicik Handayani, Yogi Afriah M. Yusuf | Artistic & Lighting Designer: Deva Rizki Listianto

Lawatari is made of a combination of two words – to visit (lawat) and tari (dance). This combination represents Indonesian Dance Festival (IDF)’s intention to connect with performing arts practitioners by co-organizing a mini festival. Held in collaboration with local partners, this program brings the spirit of visiting and getting to know the context of the areas visited. Lawatari was held in Makassar, Padang Panjang and Yogyakarta as part of the Road to IDF 2024 program series.
