We shall not add to the good analysis of the already mentioned article in Archipel. We shall only quote again the Dutch critic H.Poeze : "Jodjana's dance is not modern Javanese dance, but modern dance on a Javanese basis".
The following photos were either printed as postcards or part of a small presentation leaflet including the excerpt below :
"Raden Mas Jodjana will be happy to accept
engagements for a. performances with a small Javanese orchestra (Gamelan). b. performances with piano-accompaniment and Javanese drum, and with singing and recitation. c. lectures on Javanese dancing and dancing and rhythmic study in general, with demonstrations." |
and his disciple Roemahlaiselan in Sudhook
