The world got a little smaller on Friday, Oct. 15, when two highly-respected dancers from Indonesia came to campus for a unique performance.
Wayan Rai and his wife Gusti Ayu Srinatih are from the small island of Bali, which is located in Indonesia, where they are professors in the university there. They brought with them a piece of their culture for Cabrini students to experience.
Rai and Srinatih have studied dance and music for many years, and have performed all over the world. Their last performance was held for the Dhali Lama in California a few days before Cabrini's performance.
Swarthmore College providI ed the instruments and the couple performed privately for Dr. Adeline Bethany's students at 10:55 a.m. in the Widener Center Lecture Hall, and another performance was held at 12:30 p.m. for the general public. Bethany, professor of fine arts and music, teaches a class called ''The Music and Culture of South and South East Asia." The class includes the study of Bali and the music and culture of its people.
In Bali, dance is linked to religion. All performances are held in a temple and before each dance an offering of flowers and fruit is made to their god Krishnu.

Rai and Srinatih are friends of Bethany, who has visited Indonesia several times and meet the couple while she was staying in Bali. She was delighted to have the couple perform at Cabrini for her students.
