Traditional Indonesian Dance with Alfira O'Sullivan
Saturday 21 April 2007 - 2.00pm-4.00pm

In this workshop, you will get a taste of 2 different Indonesian styles:
Ratoh Duek and Yapong. Ratoh Duek is the Acehnese traditional style,
which is a sitting dance involving body percussion and song. Yapong is a
Traditional Javanese dance mixing traditional movements from the Betawi
(Jakarta) and Sunda (West Java) regions. This is not only a dance
workshop but also a cultural experience. Beginners welcome.

Alfira was born in Perth from an Indonesian mother and Australian
father. Formally trained in Classical Ballet she learnt Traditional
Indonesian dances on her frequent family trips to Indonesia. In Sydney,
she created her own dance company "Suara Indonesia Dance Group" and has
performed since 2001 at Indonesian and Multicultural events and
festivals, functions held at Parliament house, the Rocks and The Opera
House.

The group was also featured on Channel Seven Sunrise, and on several TV
documentaries. She has recently returned from a year long Indonesian
government dance scholarship at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts,
Surakarta, in Central Java.
