Ithas several significances; i.e. firstly, NT is one of modern theater groups thatinfluences modern theater development in Bandung; secondly, though it is stillrelatively new, the creativity of NT cannot be separated from the history ofFathul A. Husein’s creativity development as its director. By applying methodof history through several stages from heuristics, critics, interpretation, tohistoriography; NT’s creativity pattern can be constructed; it is in accordancewith the aim of this research, to achieve the historical illustration of NT’screativity pattern in realizing the prototype of theater performance entitledTritik Segaris Putih. Fathul A. Husein, as the NT leader, was one of the foundersof theater Actors Unlimited (AUL) established in mid 1990s. Having it ended,Fathul A. Husein, who acted more as a director, founded NT on 18 April 2012.Based on the works Fathul directed since his time in AUL, the creative processof NT shows similar creativity with the Studiklub Theater Bandung (STB). Animportant fact to support this statement is that as a modern theater observerand critic, Fathul had ever joined in some productions of STB during the timeof Suyatna Anirun (RIP) before he decided to join in the founding of AUL. Thus,it can be said that the model of STB theater creativity pattern is also reflectedon the creativity pattern of NT in each of its theater production.Keywords: theater history; theater production; NEO Theater","PeriodicalId":215960,"journal":{"name":"Dance & Theatre Review","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126782365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It came during thetransition from a traditional to a new type of society that was able to tolerateand accept the revolution. The arrival of European theatre in 1878, with itsdependence on a written text rather than improvisatory acting, was part of themodernization process in Iran that enjoyed its height in the early years of thetwentieth century. At the same time, traditional theatre was being rediscovered,and playwrights started using some of its forms to develop indigenous modernIranian theatre to meet the standards of the genuine past and dynamic present.Although there was an assimilation of certain secular tendencies, the newlyappearing type of drama satisfied the need for modernity through defendingpolitical and social liberties.

LKBM as a Ludruk art group inEast Java has survived for about 47 years. The STO story has outlived the LKBMgroup. Ludruk has become a typical entertainment in East Java, and STO’s storyis one of the legends which continues to live in the people of East Java, especiallySidoarjo. STO’s story is very close to the community and the conflict in the playis a common issue in the community. This story reminds us of the importanceof good communication between the government and the community. Thisplay tells about the struggle for Sarip’ rights who does not want to pay taxesbecause of his poverty. This led to the resistance to the Dutch governmentand its accomplices. The Dutch finally found Sarip’s weakness. Sarip’s motherwould awake Sarip from death when she yelled out Sarip’s name. This storyis considered a true story by some people in the East Java region, especially inthe Oso Pond area, Sidoarjo. As the development progressed, this story laterbecame a lesson for the local community to wisely respond to all policies madeby the government. The government and the people should share the rightcommunication to create harmony. The dramaturgy study of LKBM in STO playwas important because the documentation was still relatively rare, and alsothe STO story is still contextual to date. The dramaturgy study of LKBM in theSTO play is expected to be able to become a learning, whether Ludruk as a folkart group or a story that can become known for the community.Keywords: Sarip Tambak Oso; Ludruk Karya Budaya","PeriodicalId":215960,"journal":{"name":"Dance & Theatre Review","volume":"143 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134108469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
