7th National Folklore Festival
what is 7th National Folklore Festival (NFF)? it's a cultural event held by my faculty student senate (BEM FEUI). it consists of traditional dance and choir competition, held in three consecutive days.
in this committee i work in Documentation and Design (Docdes) division, in which i was the vice coordinator, with Danar as coordinator and Hanni, Adel, Hendy, and Santoso as my staffs.
at first, i didn't even know what NFF is. when my college friends formed this committee and persuaded me to be a part of them, i just said yes because i want to add my activity (that time, dude, i loved joining many committees). as simple as that.
of course i experienced some downs (and maybe...a few ups i could hardly recall?) at this committee. through nearly nine months of the making (this committee began working in July), there were times when i lacked motivation, or tired, or mad, and others. when D-day is coming i'm not even excited. i just wanted this to end as my last committee (which is later proven to be wrong lol)
and D-day came!
here are few words to describe it: beautiful, lovely, poignant, soul-opening
beautiful, because traditional dance and choir, i just realized at that point, is simply beautiful.
lovely, because i immediately fell in love with traditional culture much more than i ever did before.
poignant, because it was NFF which can make me love traditional culture deeper.
soul-opening, because it opened my heart and mind that traditional culture is simply dazzling and relieving.
i simply love the performances. it was, for God's sake, very, very, beautiful.
next year i would like to skip two days full of classes to watch next (8th) NFF made by my juniors. i love it so much i could never forget what i feel when i watch the performances.
here are some pictures i took:
LOVE.
