Abstract

Reog dance is a cultural product from Ponorogo, a district located in the southern part of East Java. Female Reog is the art dance of reog where all the dancers are women. Female Reog in Ponorogo are rarely found. The emergence of Female reog, raises the pros and cons in society. The object of this research is the association of female reog, namely “Ki Onggoputi Putri” from Plunturan village, Ponorogo Regency seen from the perspective of women’s empowerment and cultural preservation. The problem in this study is there is no awareness in the community that women have a very important role in cultural preservation and the development of cultural tourism villages. Women have rights in the public sphere and the same competencies as men. The artistic activities of PKK members are not just to fill their spare time, it is also an effort to empower women to improve their quality of life and develop independence and welfare. The method used in this study is a qualitative method, while data collection is through observation and interviews. This study applies the theory of women’s empowerment and gender equality in analyzing “Ki Onggopati Putri”. The results of this study show that female reog which was originally established to fill the spare time of housewives has become an empowerment movement in preserving Ponorogo’s reog art culture. It has an important role in the development of cultural tourism villages as well. The long-term goal of this research is the awareness in the community that women have a very important role as cultural preservers and the development of cultural tourism villages. Women become agents of change who are able to participate in empowering themselves. The results of this study are expected to be a model for women’s empowerment in the field of cultural preservation of tourism village development.
