Abstract
The purpose of this project is to explore my life through dance and text. It is an
autobiography of my life as a human being, an Indonesian woman, a Classical Javanese
dancer and teacher, and a mother through the transition of becoming a person who has
learned to view life in freer and more independent ways. This was facilitated by the
combination of my dance, my move to Canada with my three children, and the
opportunity to study as a graduate student in education. I have created a dance piece, Nasi
Goreng & Hot Dogs, as part of the process ofre-educating myself. Although Javanese
culture remains a very important part of me, I have discovered a new vision, an inner
freedom and knowledge, which have added fullness to my life. This process has been a
personal journey that has inspired my teaching.
