History
A dance known as cendrawasih was designed by I Gde Manik and was first performed in the Sawan subdistrict of the Buleleng Regency in the 1920s; the area is the origin of numerous dances, including Trunajaya, Wirangjaya, and Palawakya. However, this version was significantly different from the dance that is now commonly performed.Шаблон:Sfn
Present-day performances of the cendrawasih dance originate from choreography by Шаблон:Nowrap Wijaya Bandem, who arranged for the first performance in 1988.Шаблон:Sfn The cendrawasih dance is inspired by the bird of paradise, which is known as burung cendrawasih in Indonesian and as manuk dewata ("the bird of the gods") in Balinese.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn This genus of bird is known to dance and sing when attempting to attract a mate. The cendrawasih dance is one of several Balinese dances inspired by birds; others include the Manuk Rawa and Belibis dances.Шаблон:Sfn
Choreographers of individual performances are allowed to include their own interpretations.Шаблон:Sfn The cendrawasih dance is often performed outside of Indonesia when promoting Indonesian culture, such as in Peru in 2002,Шаблон:Sfn at the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., in 2008,Шаблон:Sfn Japan in 2008,Шаблон:Sfn and the Netherlands in 2008.Шаблон:Sfn
A 2014 study found that a single performance of the cendrawasih dance could burn 40 calories, or 5 calories per minute of dancing, with dancers' heart rates reaching an average of 157 beats per minute.Шаблон:Sfn Thus, the researchers classified a mild-intensity aerobic exercise.Шаблон:Sfn
Performance
The dance is performed by two women,Шаблон:Sfn one portraying a male bird of paradise, and one portraying a female; the dance takes the form of a mating ritual.Шаблон:Sfn The dancers are dressed in Pandji-style headdresses with feathers stuck in them, as well as long flowing scarves or skirts with a pink stripe.Шаблон:Sfn The skirts serve as the colourful tails of the birds of paradise,Шаблон:Sfn and when held give the impression of wings. The fluttering of the skirts when running give an impression of flight.Шаблон:Sfn
Many of the movements are not present in other Balinese dance forms. For instance, dancers use their trailing costumes to symbolize the wings of the birds of paradise, and may stand en pointe.Шаблон:Sfn The two dancers flutter about, as if flirting.Шаблон:Sfn
