Synopsis

In this workshop, participants will learn the basic opening, core and closing movements of the Saman dance, a traditional dance from Aceh that has been recognised by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage. This workshop is suitable for people with no dance experience.

 

Saman dance originated from the highlands of Gayo and is a unique traditional dance of its people, beloved by both the young and old. This dance is characterised by its single line formation, where all the dancers sit side by side in a tight line to perform. The dance begins with an opening movement that includes greetings, before moving to the core movement that involves patting of various body parts to create a rhythm, and closes with movements that express gratitude to the audience.

 

Catch the live performances of Rasas 2022: Dances from Aceh, including saman, rapa’i goleng and likok pulo, from 21-23 October at the Concourse.
