Abstract

In the past half century, educational tourism (edutourism) study abroad programs where foreigners study gamelan, dance, and other traditional performing arts have transformed the Balinese arts tourism industry. Drawing on historical, analytical, and ethnographic methods, this article analyzes the development and scope of these programs as educational experiences and commodities. I argue that these programs’ intersecting facets of education and leisure market kebalian (Balineseness) as a consumable cultural category, but also provide distinctive opportunities for a foreign student to transcend the role of turis (tourist) through meaningful, participatory experiences of Balinese performing arts within Balinese settings.
