The Beyond Tradition’s Lenong revitalisation programme has been implemented and tested in the period between August 2022 and March 2024. The trials carried out then resulted in the “Beyond Tradition: Revitalising Lenong as a Teaching Model for Betawi Arts” model, which illustrates the five stages leading up to the performance of Lenong on stage.
This model was developed jointly between artists from various institutions, namely the Center for Family Resilience and Development (PKPK), Faculty of Psychology, Unika Atma Jaya, Padepokan Ciliwung Condet (PCC), Mr. Jose Rizal Manua (theatre), Sanggar Purnama (rhyme), Studio Ruang Condet (Lenong), Gitarda Studio (Gambang Kromong), Jelantika Nusantara (Betawi dance), Sanggar Si Khodrat (playing beats), Deprok Pencak Silat College (playing hits) and Super 8MM Foundation (photos, videos and films). As well as asking for input from government agencies (East Jakarta Administrative City Education and Culture Service and East Jakarta Administrative City Culture Service), and several educational units.
Bahasa Indonesia version:
Beyond Tradition learning model was developed into a teaching module. The module aims to contribute to the Emancipated Curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka), which focuses on project-based learning, while also addressing the needs of the DKI Jakarta government to preserve Betawi culture.
