Development of Character Education Model for Gender Perspective Jathil Obyog Reog Ponorogo Dancers

One of the art variants of Reyog Ponorogo is Reyog Obyog. One of the dance components is the jatil dance (horse braid) which is performed by women. In this dance, what was originally a satirical visualization transformed into an "erotic" dance and subsequently gave birth to a "negative" image of the Jatil Obyog dancer as a cheap woman which then gave birth to exploitative and subordinative treatment. Meanwhile, on the other hand, jatil obyog dance contains very strategic character values to be used as a model for character education based on the local wisdom of Reyog Ponorogo. This study used a qualitative method with a feminist approach to finding a character education model for the Jatil Obyog dancers. This research found the following findings: (1) patriarchal culture has created a negative image of the Jatil Obyog dancers; (2) the character values of the Jatil Obyog dance, which is self-confidence, optimistic, never giving up, creative, and orderly, are very strategic as pillars of the gender perspective character education model; (3) A gender perspective character education model based on local wisdom of the Reyog Obyog Jatil dance is an alternative character education development for prevention and overcoming violence against female jatil dancers in Reyog Ponorogo art.
