Gamelan Sekar Jaya

GAMELAN SEKAR JAYA, the Bay Area’s Balinese gamelan and dance company, brings the artistry of two brilliant artists from Bali to the new ODC stage. Musician/composer I Made Arnawa, from Bali’s National Institute of the Arts; and dancer Emiko Saraswati Susilo, from the renowned group Çudamani; will direct forty performers in a special concert featuring two kinds of Balinese gamelan—-the rare orchestra of giant bamboo marimbas, gamelan jegog, and the ceremonial four-tone bronze orchestra, gamelan angklung. Sekar Jaya’s dancers will perform three pieces, ranging from traditional masked dance (topeng) and ceremonial temple dance, to the newly created SUBAK, with choreography by I Made Moja, commissioned by and premiered at the 2009 San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival.
