The traditional costumes segment was one of the first items to kick off the
start of the event. Costumes from Bali, Padang, and many other parts of
Indonesia were presented to the audience. The costumes fromdifferent
parts of Indonesia varied greatly and this made the show interesting.
The participants went through 2
meeting sessions, where they learnt how to walk gracefully, with their
partner in arm, down the steps. Many of them had to learn to slow down
their walking pace. Before they take their places on the
stage, they did a customary bow together. They were also taught the
intricacies of putting on the costume. One of the participants said,
”The headwear was really awkward to put on, but it was worth the effort
as the costume will be incomplete without it”. Another participant also
said that it was a great experience for him asit is his first time
‘modelling’ and he will probably not have a similar chance to do so
again. Overall, the activity helped the participants understand that
Indonesia was a melting pot of different cultures and dialects.
