Abstract

In the domain of public dance performances, aspects of space, time, and particular interests greatly
affected creative outcomes. Space, time, and particular interests were sometimes considered as limiting the creativity. In this art work planning, the limitation of space, time and interests were used as a
trigger for creativity. On this occasion the dance performance creation would be directed to make a
set of dance performances as a festival opening by carrying a wayang story titled “Dewa Ruciâ€, and
trying to show typical performance requirements for a festival opening ceremony, namely: festive, full
of surprises, message events, and still pay consideration to the dramaturgy impression in the packaging. Dance performances as the opening of a festival was a form of performances packaging that
were within the limits of space, time, and particular interests, it could not be negotiated. While the
short duration still demanded excitement and surprise, the message content of the event must be
shown in the work. This became a huge creative challenge for an artist. The experience of creating a
performance in this interest context, became a methodological experience that could be proposed as
a finding.
Keywords: festival opening perfomance packaging, drama “Dewa Ruciâ€.
