Characteristics of Ngremo Munali Fatah Dance Movements Using Biomechanical Analysis Through Motion Capture As Cultural Preservation

Abstract

Ngremo Munali Fatah Dance is a traditional East Javanese dance that has cultural and aesthetic values. This study identifies the differences in motion characteristics in Ngremo Munali Fatah Dance for older generation and younger generation dancers, using Laban Movement Analysis (Shape) and biomechanics through motion capture as an effort to preserve culture. This research uses Rudolf Laban's theory of Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) Shape. This research uses Mixed Methods Research (Exploratory Sequential Design). Qualitative data was collected through LMA Shape to record differences in dance movement characteristics of older generation and younger generation dancers. Quantitative data was obtained from biomechanical analysis using motion capture. The results showed that Ngremo Munali Fatah Dance movement has distinctive characteristics between older generation and younger generation dancers, (1) measurement of biomechanical parameters such as joint angle, velocity and acceleration, and strength, (2) gesture, and (3) cultural preservation. This research makes an important contribution to preserving East Javanese culture by documenting the characteristics of traditional dance movements in detail and accurately. The results of this research can be used as dance learning materials, choreographic development, and cultural documentation.
