I Gusti Agung Ngurah Supartha 1943 - 2007
Saturday, March 3rd, 2007 by Jody DiamondI Gusti Agung Ngurah Supartha, known to many in the USA through his spirited work at the Indonesian Embassy in Washington D.C., and in many programs throughout the world, died today in Bali. It was very sudden, apparently of a heart attack, his family reported.
Pak Supartha was active as a choreographer, composer and dalang, and often performed with members of his family. He was enthusiastic about classical Balinese arts as well as innovations that extended the traditions he loved. Pak Supartha dedicated his life to bringing the arts of Bali to everyone, from teaching beginning kecak to college students on three continents to organizing 5000 Balinese artists for the record-breaking CAKolosal in September of 2006.
