Abstract

It is important to rethink Indonesian dance creation within postmodern aesthetics, from which dance maker tends to present the forms of fusion in pursuing the “newness”. Encouraged by dialectic of Hans-Georg Gadamer, I believed that such specific manner is required to choreograph sufficient fusion forms in terms of Indonesian plurality. This research is to investigate the hermeneutic dimension of “Bedoyo-Legong Calonarang” as a dance piece that brings Javanese and Balinese classical idioms into Indonesia contemporary. I use the core motion of his hermeneutics to apply interpretative, holistic observation, and heuristics as well as philosophical qualitative method. Through identifying dialectical aspects in the conceptual sphere of artistic process and presentation of the dance, the result showed its merit to accommodate inter-subjective understanding in revitalizing traditional values. Keywords : Hermeneutics, Dance, Gadamer’s dialectics, Dialogic concept of choreography; Contemporaneity.
