Taksu-Charisma
in the Arts
Why
is enthuasiasm for workship so strong
that it enriches every aspect of
Balinese life ?Well, it has to do
with the strong belief felt by the
people here, a belief which for
hundreds of years now has given
life in Bali its almost magical
quality. The Balinese belive that
the God and His manisfestations
have the same aptitude for dance
and music as do mortals, and so
during temple ceremonies, especially
in the remoter villages, spirits,

To Produce
Arts Which are Religious
|
|
 Despite
the art on the surface
being considered mostly
as an entertainment
medium, their use
as a tool in the act
of workship is uppermost
in the mind of the
Balinese artist who
recognises the importance
of taksu. This is
party because arts
performances are always
preceded by an act
of f offering and
prayer. Click

 obody
can deny that the
back bone of the arts
in Bali is the village,
as betrayed by the
branches of the arts
practised therein.Fine
arts such as painting
enjoy healthy development
in the villages, carried
on by artists whose

WALI ,
BEBALI AND BALIH-BALIAN |
|
 At
the beginning of the
seventies the Balinese
were concerned that
the art, particularly
the performing arts,
were becoming too
fusional. Performance
normally only staged
for temple ceremony
purpose, were taken
to the hotels for
the benefit of tourists,
and yet when performaed
in the temple the
same dance require
a lot of afferings
and ritual paraphernalia.

Tourism
& the Balinese Arts,
|
|
 Finally,
a phenomenon we cannot
ignore is the economic
advantages resulting
from the harmonic
integration of the
arts and tourism.
Cultural conservation
is often seen as burden
for many peoplesof
the world these days,
but in Bali, with
the presence of tourism
and its sponsorship
of the culture is
general and the arts
in particular, both
the arts and their
preservation are thus
guaranteed.

The
Dynamism of Bali's Arts |
|
 The
richness of Bali's
Arts today can be
thought of as the
crystallisation of
serveral cultural
phenomena. Let's again
look at dance as an
example. Before Hinduism
came to Bali, there
already existed here
various dance forms
designed to defer
evil, for example
the dance known as
Sanghyang,
which is still performed
to this day in some
villages and mountain
areas. The influence
of Java was clearly
felt after Click

Tourisme
and Idealistic Classifications |
|
 From
time to time,social
and cultural phenomena
receive heightened
attention with relation
to tourism.
This stems from an
increased awareness
that without full
consideration on socioculture
aspects, tourism will
"contribute"
disaster to the social
life of the Balinese,
particulary those
who live in tourism
resorts. Because tourism
itself has huge potential
to destroy the culture
and the live of the
host community. Click
