Serangan Empat Hari Di Surakarta Sebagai Sumber Penciptaan Karya Tari Tekad

The research entitled Tekad choreography by Zhola Verucha Taruna aims to find out and explain descriptively about the form of Tekad choreography, which includes the creation process. The theoretical basis used is the theory of structure, according to Suzanne K. Langer. The creation process uses the thoughts of Alma H. Hawkins and uses the approach of Sumandiyo Hadi to explain the choreographic elements. The method used in this research is Practice-Based Research.The results showed that the choreography of Tekad by Zhola Verucha Taruna was non-literal. This dance form consists of four parts. The use of everyday movements is varied with the Aikido movement of the Muso Jihiden Eishin Ryu flow, which has been developed and uses the ideas of the katana as a symbol property of determination. While the music used is music in the form of MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface), and lighting is more about spatial attitudes. The process of creating this dance work uses the principle of re-interpreting the Four-Day General Attack of the City of Surakarta with elements of novelty in the form of works through seeing, feeling, and imagining, and manifesting them into form. Determination is the title of a dance work resulting from exploration, improvisation, and evaluation of ideas into a complete form to accommodate messages or contents about struggle or spirit.
