The question of power and agency between children and adults within the context of traditional Balinese dance remains multilayered. While adults exercise authority over children in formal settings, an alternative dynamic exists outside the confines of traditional performance contexts where children operate as artistic agents. In this illuminating ethnographic study of Balinese dance traditions, Jonathan McIntosh examines how children navigate the nexus of practice, performance, and power through the medium of Balinese culture. From structured dance classes to gatherings that embrace popular music, Children Dancing in Bali spotlights the creative potential of Balinese performance practices to negotiate identity and society.
