After Walter Spies colaborated with local Coreographer Wayan Limbak, both of them combining elements of story from Ramayana with Ramayana dancer in Cak dance Ritual.
Kecak was originally pure trance ritual accompanied by male chorus. Walter Spies, a German painter and musician,in 1930 became deeply interested in the ritual while living in Bali. He adapted it as a drama, based on the Hindu Ramayana and including dance, intended for performance.
This is an example of what James Clifford describes as part of the "modern art-culture system" in which, "the West or the central power adopts, transforms, and consumes non-Western or peripheral cultural elements, while making 'art,' which was once embedded in the culture as a whole, into a separate entity.". Spies worked with Wayan Limbak, who popularized the dance by arranging for performances by Balinese groups touring internationally. These tours have helped make the kecak internationally known.
