Writing Script and Audio Production: Movement to Strengthen Javanese Radio Drama in Yogyakarta, Indonesia

This
study aims to gain a deep understanding of the subjective experiences of
participants who are directly involved in the strengthening movement to uncover
the development of Javanese radio dramas in Yogyakarta. Due to the abstract
nature of the data, including people's experiences in drama radio and radio
broadcast fields, this study employs the interpretative phenomenological
approach (IPA) to explore and understand these experiences. We used IPA to
process qualitative data from interviews with nine participants who were
actively involved in strengthening Javanese radio dramas. The study's findings
indicate that participants' subjective experiences in the reinforcement
movement provide an overview of the positive development of Javanese radio
dramas. Several actions, such as raising awareness, writing scripts (through
workshops and competitions), nurturing talent, producing audio, evaluating, and
enhancing the community's role, sparked this development. These actions
encourage the manager's optimism about restoring Javanese dramas as an
important part of the Javanese people's identity. This research not only helps
policymakers re-evaluate local cultural preservation and development programs,
but it also opens up space for cultural movers in general to find alternative
ways to prevent the degradation of Javanese culture in the digital era. DOWNLOAD
