VI. Summative Assessment

Kabuki is a Japanese traditional theatre art that is performed in a stylized manner

which combines acting, singing and dancing. This rich blend of music, mime, dance,
costume, and props has been in existence for almost four centuries. Peking opera also
known as the Beijing opera still follows traditional Chinese arts in stressing meaning,
rather than precise actions. The opera artists’ goal is to make every performance
exceptionally beautiful in every movement they will make. In Wayangkulit the dalang
sings the mood songs (suluk) at regular intervals during performance.

This assessment aims for learners to determine the history, story and the methods of
communication of Peking Opera, Kabuki Theater and Wayang Kulit.
