INTEGRATED ART EDUCATION: THE CREATION OF DANCE PERFORMANCE ART AS AN AESTHETIC EXPERIENCE

Abstract

The creation of multidimensional dance performance art including movement, sound and voice, character, and literary expression is a holistically integrated approach to art education. It is asserted that ‘Education should not only highlight academic and cognitive values (which has been the main goal or focus of our national education), but also include behaviors and psychomotor aspects concerning creativity, innovation, and liveliness as a whole.’ Islamic high schools' lack of knowledge about the existence of art has resulted in art being marginalization. This research will provide a new paradigm of integrated art education attached to Islamic education as an enhancement of learners' communication to express their ideas. Practically, students will be led to aesthetic experiences by learning meaningfully through creative activities and verbal and nonverbal appreciation. The research method uses Practice- Led Research with a qualitative approach, which is research that focuses on practice or experience in the process of creating work. The research conducted refers more to issues and problems in the community. Researchers must design the necessary research components in accordance with the objectives and benefits of the research. So that as a result of this research, we know a series of aesthetic experiences, which have a great influence on the development of the soul.
