MYP Personal Project 2014-2015

Happy New Year 2015! Apparently today is the day. The first day of the year and the first day I decided to write a blog post on my MYP personal project. -cue sigh here-

Some of you might be wondering, what is MYP Personal Project?

So basically IB MYP is an educational program that is intended for students aged 11-16 years old. This program is applied at Sekolah Victory Plus which is my school. In order to pass this program, students should do a final assessment which is called as the Personal Project. In this project students should choose an academic or non-academic topic to be developed into a project based on global context. A personal project advisor will guide us through this project. And students are expected to complete the project over the course of the school year and in order to pass we should score at least 3/7. 

For the details of my personal project,  here's my personal project proposal!

PERSONAL PROJECT PROPOSAL

Advisor’s name: Ibu Judith Helga S

Proposal:

NATIV PULCHRITUDE
(REDESIGNED TRADITIONAL DANCE COSTUME)

GOAL OF PERSONAL PROJECT

Traditional dancing is one of my passion, an interest that I had since I was little. Growing up dancing I saw dancers perform, but there is one thing that bugs me. The costume that they use is always the same! Through my project, I have a goal to learn how to redesign the traditional dance costumes and make it. Another goal is my costume will be used in at least one performance and my “sanggar” will accept my costumes as part of their collection (people can rent it and used for performing).

GLOBAL CONTEXT OF PERSONAL PROJECT

The personal project that I am doing will address the global context of personal and cultural expression. Why? Because I will explore Indonesian culture and develop the culture in the form of traditional dancing costume. In this costume I will also express my own personality, extending and enjoying my creativity through redesigning traditional dance costume.

SPECIFICATION OF PERSONAL PROJECT

The name of my project means Indonesian original beauty, I will express this beauty through traditional dance costumes. Not just any costume, but the once I redesign by myself. I will take 3 traditional dances, which I will redesign and remake the costumes. I will improve it but not taking away the pakem and the essence or meaning that the costume itself represents.  To make sure that this costume is entirely designed and made by me, I will design and make the batik cloth by myself in the Hadiprijanto Batik in Banyumas.

Besides of making the batik cloth, I will also learn how to sew through my grandma that was a garment owner and a tailor for years. I will make the costumes and sew most of it by myself as well as the accessories, which I will sew or make using wire jewelry method if there is time. Then I will use my costumes to perform in at least 1 event together with my friends. Afterwards I would like to sign up my costume to the costume rental in my sanggar so people can use it.

In order to achieve all of the above I will need experts that can guide me to the correct way of making the costumes. Starting from the first expert, I will work with Ibu Happy Inong, which is the expert and maker of traditional dance costumes, a dancer and my teacher.  She understands the pakem and she agreed to help me in this project, in fact she is very supportive. From her I will find out which dances I can redesign the costumes of, under what rules and how. This will take about 1 or 2 meetings for the interview, but I will always communicate with her to consult about the costume (I always meet her at least once a week). Then I will work with Ibu Adele (if possible) and Setyo Cahyono, which are both experts in drawing and fashion design for at least 1-2 meetings for each expert.  From them I will learn how to draw and design the clothes based on the information I have collected from Ibu Happy Inong.  Afterwards I will start sewing with my grandma, Ibu Joe Kwie Ing as the expert. She was a garment factory owner and a tailor.  At the same time I will communicate through phone with Ibu Hu Lwie or her son, the owner of Batik Hadipriyanto about the batik pattern and meet them to complete the cloth in December.

METHOD AND PROCESS

To collect the data I need in order to complete my project, I will use the qualitative method. Using the qualitative method I will interview the experts about the dance meaning, costume for the dance, how to design, how to sew and how to make the batik pattern cloth.  Most of my expert can be met face to face except for the batik one. She or he will be interviewed through phone call. The entire interview will be done using guideline questions that will be made based on the secondary research I will do (books and internet). Then during the interview process I will also actively ask questions that is based on the statements that is made by the expert to get deeper and more detail information of the respective topic. I will also observe the original costume to see the things I can improve and redesign.
