SISWA SUKRA ~ Javanese gamelan.

Siswå Sukrå is a community gamelan group of 15+ players, based at the Royal Festival Hall, London. The group has grown out of the Southbank Centre's resident gamelan programme, which has been going since 1988. The programme offers gamelan musicians of all abilities opportunities to play and learn both from Javanese visiting artists and from British musicians who have spent many years living and studying in Java. Siswå Sukrå's leader is Pete Smith, one of the UK's leading gamelan musicians and teachers.

Lila Bhawa and Lila Bhawa Kecil
The Lila Bhawa Indonesian dance group was founded in London in 2001 by Ni Made Pujawati, the UK's leading Javanese and Balinese dancer. Ni Made has performed widely in Europe, the US and Bali, and we are thrilled that she will be dancing for us tonight. With Ni Made will be Andrea Rutkowski, a lifelong Javanese dancer and also a member of Lila Bhawa. Lila Bhawa Kecil is the recently-established children's offshoot of Lila Bhawa, and is taught by Ni Made Pujawati.

Thanks to Pete Smith for advice and guidance while editing video.

Thank you Arts.

It is easy to appreciate, as it is a very compelling sound, the gamelan encourages togetherness and the dance is beautifully serene, with amazing costumes. A pleasure to witness.
