History
The condong dance originated in the palaces of Bali in the mid-19th century. Its creator is not known,[1] but folk history suggests that a prince of Sukawati, deathly ill, saw a vision of two beautiful girls dancing gracefully while accompanied by gamelan music; upon regaining his health, this prince recreated the dance he had seen.[2] It originally told the story of two bidadari (nymphs) named Supraba and Wilotama. By the 1930s, the story had been modified, telling of a king or queen and their subject.[1]
In current performances, the condong dancer plays the role of the subject. The choreographer Ni Ketut Arini describes the condong dancer as portraying a palace servant who both serves the king and is in awe of his power and of the beauty of the king's daughter.[2]
Many of the movements are simplified versions of the various legong dances.[2] Hence, condong is considered a basic Balinese dance and is learned by many children.[1]
There have been efforts to preserve the condong dance in Bali. These have included competitions in which children perform the dance for points.[1] Movements from condong have been adapted to more recent creations, including panyembrama (I Wayan Berata; 1971), which also includes legong movements.[3]
Performance
Condong is generally used as a preface to the legong dance, and thus performed before it (although it may be dropped).[4] It may also be performed before gambuh or arja dances; the condong character is typical of all of them.[5] The condong character is also consistent throughout different stories, a quintessential representation of the maidservant who has introduced various princess characters, both Balinese and non-Balinese, including Rangkesari, Ophelia, and Miranda.[6]
In dances prefacing legong performances, the condong dancer enters the stage first, and performs her routine. The dancer is generally a young girl, and her movements take what ethnomusicologist Michael Tenzer terms a "sharp and intense" character. When the legong performance proper begins, the condong dancer may dance with the legong dancers,[4] presenting each dancer with a fan before withdrawing. The average length of a condong performance is about 15 minutes.[7] In the legong lasem form, the condong dancer returns with the wings of a raven to foretell the demise of the titular King Lasem.[8]
As with legong dances, condong is accompanied by the semar pangulingan style of gamelan.[2] This musical accompaniment takes the form of a series of short 16-beat melodies,[9] in the gegaboran metre.[10] In the condong dance performed as a preface to legong kraton, the music concludes with a shift to batel metre.[11]
