Abstract

The postmodernism perspective in art can be identified from the emergence of new ideas in the field of art, in which there are no boundaries. One example of this can be seen in the shift in form and meaning of a traditional Javanese performance art named Reog Kendang. Reog Kendang, a folk art from the Tulungagung Regency that serves as one of the region’s attractions, has experienced many developments from its original form. The traditional performance art initially had very particular rules, but has developed in its meaning and form of presentation over time as they are adjusted based on the demands and context of performance art. This paper aims to depict the form of Reog Kendang in the postmodern era and its existence using qualitative method and phenomenology approach. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation, followed by an analysis involving data reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusion. The findings reveal that the development and existence of Reog Kendang can be seen from the change in the form of presentation and demands of the performance that allow the artists to make creative adjustments and innovations. As a result, the audience may enjoy and feel the result of the development which helps Reog Kendang to remain relevant in the postmodern era.
