ABSTRACT

Hambaruan is a video dance artwork with a duration of 9 minutes 50 seconds which was taken using the one-shot technique. It is highly inspired by the figure of Bawi Kameloh, a mythical figure in the Dayak community, Central Kalimantan. It is believed that the figure lives in the minds of the Dayak people, especially women, whether they are conscious of it or not. Hambaruan in Dayak Ngaju language means life, soul, or spirit. The spirit of Bawi Kameloh is interpreted as one of the ideal examples that shapes the soft character of Dayak women and is manifested intothe character of Dayak female dancers, especially the choreographer. Referring to the personal experience of spiritually 'encountering' the figure of Bawi Kameloh, this video dance artwork was created in the form of a solo choreography using a dramatic dance as its type. The dramatic type relates to the impression of the character of Bawi Kameloh's figure when the choreographer 'saw' Bawi Kameloh dancing, looking so soft but also strong on the top of a gong. Impressed with this 'encounter', this artwork then embodies the spirit of the figure of Bawi Kameloh based on the acquired impression. Using the creation method as proposed by Hawkins, the motifs of Bahalai dance movements, Central Kalimantan traditional dances, namely malilik, malingker, nganyang and malembai were used as initial motifs and developed through repeated exploration, followed by improvisation to find variants of form and sense in accordance to the theme of the dance, then composed into a video dance artwork.
