SUMMARY:An Introduction to Menstruation Sumo Dance
DESCRIPTION:Team Chiipro’s Menstruation Sumo Dance explores the social contexts of menstruation through shiko\, the traditional stomping movement in sumo. \nIn this workshop\, participants will be introduced to basic dance practices inspired by shiko and invited to engage in a central part of the work’s creative process: reading diaries documenting personal experiences of menstruation. Drawing from this practice\, the facilitators will share their exploration of the weight of encountering another person’s experience. Through layering\, shifting\, and unsettling movements and images in the body\, participants will explore how sensuality emerges through subtle shifts\, displacements\, and changes in perception. \nNanako Matsumoto \nCo-director of Team Chiipro\, Choreographer\, Dancer \nKengo Nishimoto\nCo-director of Team Chiipro\, Dramaturg \nVenue: Ruang Latihan Tari Kontemporer\, Taman Ismail Marzuki \nBook Your SeatTeam ChiiproTeam Chiipro is a performance duo made up of Nanako Matsumoto and Kengo Nishimoto.

SUMMARY:Making\, in Her Own Rhythm: Art\, Work\, Care\, and a Life in Practice
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\nHartati\nDensiel Lebang\nNanako Matsumoto (Team Chiipro) \nModerator:\n\nKeni Soeriaatmadja \nVenue:Selasar Nashar\, Paviliun Raden Saleh\, Gedung Ali Sadikin\, Taman Ismail Marzuki \nHow does a woman build and sustain an artistic practice as life continues to change? \nMaking\, in Her Own Rhythm brings together three choreographers from different generations\, contexts\, and artistic trajectories to reflect on how a practice grows alongside a life. Bodies change\, experiences accumulate\, responsibilities and relationships shift\, while work\, economic realities\, family\, care\, mobility\, time\, and energy continually shape how an artist makes and sustains a practice. For women artists\, these negotiations may also be shaped by gendered expectations and conditions. \nHere\, rhythm offers a way of thinking about sustainability beyond uninterrupted productivity: there are times to make\, pause\, return\, change intensity\, or discover different ways of working. Through their distinct experiences\, the conversation asks what becomes visible when we attend to these different rhythms—and how artistic practices\, bodies\, and lives continue to shape one another over time.

SUMMARY:NEW FIELDWORK
DESCRIPTION:New Fieldwork is a project that begins with observing pigeons living close to people. Through this project\, we explore the relationship between humans and other living beings in cities. The project is carried out by artists\, including actors\, dancers\, and theater practitioners\, who are not professional field researchers.  \nThis is not academic research. We approach fieldwork as an experimental creative practice. We visit the same places many times and observe individual pigeons. We try to learn about their lives and personalities. Through this process\, we hope to develop a way of seeing other living beings as individual beings\, each with their own lives and characteristics.  \nWe also want to learn about the communities pigeons belong to and the cultures that develop within these communities. This may help us see familiar places from new perspectives\, beyond the human view.  \nOur observations have been shared through exhibitions and Pigeon Observation Tours. We have also created and distributed maps that explore a theater site from the perspective of pigeons. The project is currently exploring its potential as a performing arts work. \nThis work was made possible\, in part\, through the support of the Indonesian Dance Festival and in collaboration with Shifting Points\, a program of Kyoto Experiment\, Bangkok International Performing Arts Meeting and the Japan Foundation. \nCredits:\nChoreographer : Yuka Uchida\nPerformers : Yuka Uchida\, Annastasya Verina\, and Keigo Mikajiri \nVenue: Teater Luwes\, Institut Kesenian Jakarta \nBook Your SeatYuka UchidaBorn in Osaka in 1987\, Yuka Uchida is a choreographer and dancer based in Osaka\, Japan.

SUMMARY:SEA-GHOSTS
DESCRIPTION:Anchored in the erased coastlines of Hong Kong\, Sea-Ghosts fights to remember a time when salt was a gift to Hong Kongers. Blending the materiality of places with choreography\, this performance-exhibition allows sea spirits in their geological\, spiritual and political forms to wake up from centuries of land reclamation and massacres.  \nThe scars of imperial-colonial controls are deep from 2000 years ago. As ideal sites of salt-farming\, the earliest inhabitants were forced labourers who produced salt for China from 119BC\, until a revolution in 1197\, which resulted in bloody massacres. Salt-farming continued on these coastlines – the boundaries of Hong Kong – under continuously violent controls into the 1960s\, as British colonialists dumped mountains onto seas\, up until the current police state.  \nFrom washing rocks\, gathering sea-water\, making paper by adopting the sun practices of salt-farmers\, Sea-Ghosts proposes that forging renewed spiritual connections to land is the urgent decolonial work that will gradually dissolve the violent human dominance to nature\, forced upon by both the British and the Chinese. Between wet and dry\, sea and land\, Sea-Ghosts strives to build a collective Hong Kong identity where migration is resistance and all colonial imaginations are dissolved.  \nThis work was made possible\, in part\, through the support of Latitude\, a residency and exchange program developed by the Indonesian Dance Festival\, Dance Nucleus (Singapore)\, Performance Space (Australia). \nCredits:\nChoreographer : Natalie Quan Yau Tso\nScenographer : Natalie Quan Yau Tso\nPerformers : Natalie Quan Yau Tso\nMusic : Dessert Empress\nCostume Design : Natalie Quan Yau Tso\nDramaturg : Imogen Yang\nProducer : Emma Cao \nCo-Produced by: \nPerformance Space & Dance Nucleus \nVenue: Teater Luwes\, Institut Kesenian Jakarta \nBook Your SeatNatalie Quan Yau TsoNatalie Quan Yau Tso is an artist whose practice explores embodied connections to place as a migrant settler through sculpture\, installation\, and performance.

SUMMARY:KONJO: Becoming Otherwise
DESCRIPTION:KONJO: Becoming Otherwise was developed through artistic research of the Konjo people of Bulukumba Regency\, South Sulawesi. Culture is not treated merely as a symbol to be transposed onto the stage\, but rather as a source of inquiry into how human beings shape themselves through their relationships with place\, nature\, community\, memory\, and “the other.” \nThe research stems from two distinct yet interconnected ways of life: the coastal Konjo community—defined by the sea\, seafaring\, and Phinisi boat-building—and the indigenous Kajang community\, whose lives are grounded in customary law and a connection to ancestral land through Pasang ri Kajang (a set of values and customs passed down through generations among the indigenous people of Kajang). The sea serves as a way to contemplate movement\, uncertainty\, journey\, and transformation; while the land embodies attachment\, memory\, and sustainability. \nThe word “Konjo”—understood in the context of this research as “here”—serves as the work’s conceptual point of departure. As the body moves\, “here” can shift to “there.” Between sea and land\, the body becomes a site of “becoming” through its relationships with other bodies\, the environment\, materials\, and memory. \nThe dancer’s body is not a literal representation of the Konjo people but rather an instrument of research. The Phinisi construction process serves as a key dramaturgical device\, translated into movement and inter-bodily relationships: assembling\, binding\, bracing\, balancing\, connecting\, directing\, and releasing. Through this process\, Becoming Otherwise opens up the possibility of shifting from an initial position and allowing encounters to transform the way the body perceives itself. \nVenue: Graha Bhakti Budaya\, Taman Ismail Marzuki \nCredits:Choreographer : Densiel LebangScenographer : Richard Dilian KalipungPerformers : Daniel Setyo Pambudi\, Try Anggara\, Dedi Ronald Maniakori\, Ucup Bakrie\, Clausdios Marani\, Allma Ortega (Kubo)\, Yanuarius Doni Elaman\, Muhammad WibowoMusic : Arham AryadiLighting Designer : Deray SetiadiDramaturg : Helly MinartiProduction Manager : Regina Audrey Ivana ZakariahStage Manager : Novan Trijaya Seri Putra \nCo-Produced by: Performance Space (Australia) & Dance Nucleus (Singapore)  \nBook Your SeatDensiel LebangDensiel Lebang is an artist\, choreographer\, performer and cultural practitioner born in Bulukumba\, South Sulawesi and based in Jakarta.
