Abstract:

The heyday of Wayang Orang Sriwedari (Sriwedari), a central Javanese company doing traditional dance drama, was the 1960s–1970s, when it had great popularity and famous stars. From the 1980s the company lost popularity. In 2009, a shortened (padat), tourism-oriented performance model was tested which shows potential for reviving the form and reinvigorating the company.
