The Cultural Event Typology in Bali
Abstract
There is limited research focusing on festivals and cultural events. This study aims to enrich previous research on event typology, particularly in cultural events. Additionally, the findings of this research can be applied by event practitioners. The results of this research can be practically applied by event practitioners. This is particularly valuable for organizers from outside Bali who may not be familiar with local wisdom and regulations. A qualitative approach was used to have a better understanding of ritual practices and culture. The researcher observed three cultural events in 2024: the Piodalan and Pengerupukan ceremonies in a village in Gianyar Regency, and the Ogoh-ogoh competition in Depasar city. In addition, in-depth interviews were conducted with the village head and unstructured interviews with the participants of the ceremonies. Thematic analysis was conducted to obtain dimensions. Four dimensions of cultural events were found: (1) management – who manages and how the event is managed, (2) function – the purpose of the performing arts, (3) objective – the goal of the event, and (4) audience – who attends the event. This domain was then combined with the typology of performing arts according to Balinese local wisdom, broadly divided into sacred and profane performances, which include Wali, Bebalih, and Balih-balihan dances. This combination was reflected in matrix of event typologies in Bali. Further research could explore audience's or the artists' perspectives on presenting each type of dance. Expanding the number of villages could also provide insights into different rituals in other villages in Bali.
