PEMBARUAN UBRUG SENTRA AGATA MELALUI KOLABORASI: TELAAH BENTUK ESTETIS THE “UBRUG” RENEWAL OF SENTRA AGATA THROUGH C

Abstrak

The current study aims at (1) describing any collaborated arts elements in the ubrug renewal
carried out by arts extracurricular activities of Sentra Agata in SMAN 2 Pandeglang Banten,
and (2) analysing the aesthetic form of "ubrug” renewal using the principles of unity, theme,
thematic variations, balance, evolution, and hierarchy. The techniques of analysis include
doing ubrug-related library research, interviewing ubrug doers and arts academics, and
applying aesthetic form theory to analyze the seen performances. The findings of this study
demonstrate that renewals are carried out through “ubrug” collaboration with the arts of
puppetry that is present as a source of stories, the narration of “murwa” puppet style in the
opening scene, the figure of Semar in the form of “golek” puppets, and the arts of “bedug” in
the composition of music for “tatalu” and “lalaguan”, the action of “ngadu bedug”, and
“bedug rampak” at the end of the performances. The “ubrug” renewal through collaboration,
correspondingly, justifies all principles of aesthetic form characteristic so that the blend of
performance could be produced.
