Book Chapter
Even Stronger Yet!
2022
Overview
This chapter studies the recent resurgence of children's arja theater troupes in Bali (arja anak-anak, arja remaja). It extends our analysis to encompass the pedagogical landscape of arja remaja, revealing an embodied process that is marked by both intimacy and initiative, throughout which revered female performers sculpt and prod the young voices and bodies of their aspiring student artists. The chapter then emphasizes that the embodiment of gender in these ensembles has the “potential to disrupt the...endurance of conventional gender ideals as iterated and reinforced by Indonesian national and Balinese local ideologies.” Such ideologies have traditionally sustained male authority while muting female voices in the public sphere. The chapter argues that arja's pedagogical process works against this dynamic by privileging female voices and exposing students to a wide range of “possible expressions of the feminine [while facilitating] the safe exploration of these roles.” This affords young Balinese women the opportunity to experiment with alternate relationships between voice, body, and social space.
