I Made Wiranatha and his Ambition

I Made Wiranatha, popularly known as Kadek, realized his dream when bring tourists here, while airways are one way of bringing them to Bali.
“Thus, I develop this business of air transport just to push ahead the progress of tourism development, not merely for the sake of my private business,” Wiranata said while proposing to all tourism components to enjoy the advantage this airline posed to Bali’s tourism. He himself started his career in business as executor in realizing some hotel projects, followed by establishing a building planning bureau and exporting houses. Thereafter, the husband of Natalia Sinclaire, dedicated his activity in his own restaurants, hotel, cruise ship, and ended in the management of Air Paradise as its director. In answering the question whether he is satisfied with this, he gave a negative answer in a lower tone, adding he hoped all what he has done would be a precious dedication to raise welfare and boost Balinese people.

Cerita : A Master Chereographer

I Nyoman Cerita, a choreographer from Singapadu Village (Sukawati, Gianyar), left for the Los Angeles, USA on Thursday, 2 January 2003 for an advanced study in Fine Arts to gain a masters degree. He is grateful to have the opportunity to study in the famous university in California, despite his departure being delayed for three-months.
Born on 16 July 1961, Cerita who’s is married to Ni Made Seri has got two children, Putu Wulantari and Kadek Puriartha. Apart from three-years study in the USA, he is also preparing for a collaboration with Citra Dass, an Indian dancer skilled in performing “Katak Kali” dance. This collaboration will take place in May 2003.
Another collaboration will take to the stage in August 2003 in three countries. That is Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, specifically Bali. He feels more stress needs to be placed on promoting Bali as a safe tourist resort following the 12 October 2002 bomb tragedy. So far, his daily activities consist of dance compositions and training, especially on the eve of the annual Bali Art Festival.
Frequent art collaborations have often taken place due to the respect given to him by foreign artists or Indonesians from outside Bali. For example the collaboration with choreographer, Liangga, supported by Surabaya’s “Anggali” dance group, to compose the ‘sendratari’ theatrical dance drama, titled “Balingkang”, in collaboration with Wyarihita Dance Group was headed by Japanese artist, Deni Inaba.
