Summary
  1. Program 3 of an eight-part documentary series exploring the ramifications of dance around the world. Japan, France, Java, and Ghana show how court dances serve to reinforce the power of a sovereign, preserve social hierarchies, express cultural ideals, support the state religion, and serve other functions vital to government. Tadamoro Ōno, a member of the Imperial Household of Japan, discusses the court dance form Bugaku. Historian Elizabeth Aldrich and Francine Lancelot, artistic director of Ris et Danceries, examine dance at the court of Louis XIV. The palace of Sultan Hamengku Buwono X of Yogyakarta in central Java offers examples of the wayang wong (dance drama) and bedoyo (women's court dance), with commentaries by the Sultan, and by dance master Romo Sas (Rio Sasminta Mardawa), Suharti Soedarsono, and Benedictus Suharto. Dances at the palace of the Asantehene, the elected king of the Asante people of Ghana, are described by Albert Opoku and Kwame Arhin.
