PROFILE LANGEN KUSUMA

Padepokan Tari Langen Kusuma, was establish in Kercopan environment Area. Kercopan is a development site of a Reyog Ki Singo Kusumo group, which is located in three villages; Kertosari, Cokromenggalan, and Patihan Wetan. The actions of the Reyog Singo Kusumo group in the Kercopan area were very encouraging in the era of the 90s - until the early 2000s, until the birth of the mini Reyog community, Si Buyut Katong, where all the achievements have been achieved in the festival. About a decade from 2000 to 2010, reyog associations still survived, even if only from small job responses, which seemed to make this reyog group stand on only one foot.

Until finally, around the end of 2013, the enthusiasm of Kercopan youth and youth to revive Reyog Ki Singo Kusumo and Si Buyut Katong's art again blazed, with the establishment of a group with a new name, namely "Padenokan Langen Kusumo Dance" which was inaugurated since January 26, 2014 Over time (within a year) Padepokan Tari langen Kusuma was able to develop rapidly, as evidenced by our group members not only from the Kercopan environment, but many interdisciplinary artists from various regions in the Ponorogo district. Even so with the formation of this new group, it is hoped that it can become a forum for the creativity of the younger generation and Kercopan children and all artists in Ponorogo district in general to continue to preserve Reyog traditional arts and the development of artistic creativity from various disciplines, both dance, music, theater and art.
