Keywords:
Reyog Ponorogo, intangible cultural heritage, creative industries, digital technology, cultural identityAbstract
The preservation of traditional performing arts, such as Reyog Ponorogo, in urban settings plays a crucial role in maintaining cultural identity amidst rapid societal changes. This study explores how the Ponorogo community living in Jakarta sustains Reyog Ponorogo as part of Indonesia’s intangible cultural heritage. By focusing on cultural inheritance systems, the research highlights the community's adaptive strategies that align with both heritage conservation and modern urban life. Furthermore, it investigates the role of Reyog in shaping communal identity while examining its integration into creative industries. The empowerment of local artists through digital technology and its contribution to the globalization of Reyog as a world cultural heritage are key elements discussed. The research employs ethnographic methods, combining interviews with Reyog performers and cultural custodians with digital analyses of Reyog performances circulated online. The findings reveal a dynamic interplay between traditional values and modern mediums, where digital technology serves as a powerful tool for promoting and safeguarding intangible heritage. The study emphasizes the importance of recognizing traditional arts not just as cultural artifacts but as living practices, deeply intertwined with the urban cultural landscape and global digital platforms
