Aku seneng banget nonton TEDx eh ga sengaja nyasar ke Sujiwo Tedjo dan ini Didik aduhh nontonnya terhibur bangga bgt, tapi sayangnya TEDx Jakarta kok jelek banget video/visualnya dan ini audionya mas Didik duh serius sayang banget loh. Maaf sekedar masukan aja sekelas TEDx semoga bisa menampilkan lebih baik, next mungkin ini bisa diupload ulang dengan subtittle dan audio yg bisa diakalin lebih clear jadi bisa nembus ke penonton global seluruh dunia, bahwa Indonesia juga punya banyak orang-orang hebat yang luar biasa yang membanggakan seperti ini.. Salut buat mas Didik God bless u. maju terus buat TEDx Indonesia

Manusia genius yang menembus batas perbedaan laki-2 dan perempuan dalam berkarya. Maestro Tari Indonesia

[@bilqisbilqis1654]

yg Aku herankan mas didi ini bgtu di apreasi di Luarnegeri. tp di negeri sendiri kurang.... ayolah keraton jogja dan Negara berikan penghargaan u beliau

[@aditardiles2299]

Karena Indonesia kek kurang respek aja sama penari cross gender, padahal di luar negeri mah di apresiasi banget apalagi cross gender

[@andimvj]

Setahu aku Om Didi pernah dapat pengahrgaan deh Mbak,salah satunya Icon pancasila kl ndak salah, yg dimaksud mbaknya macam penghargaan seprti apa ya?

[@brandodobran7417]

@@andimvj penghargaan yang di terima di depan matanya mbaknya langsung 🤣

[@sapphireonyxjade]

Our culture taught us to watch this as a good entertainment. Unfortunately, our people don't appreciate it. They just wanna be conservative and don't support what people do. Just because they think they're right. Such a pity

[@emilliaswastika4021]

I am sure not every body does. Think positively and spread art works to every one. We may see a good result of the truth. GBU.

[@ramasita1000]

I admire this person. He is so grounded and humble. Genuinely talented too. Orang hebat! Orang baik!

[@OchiMochi]

This is amazing. I know that there are lots of cross dancer in Japan, but as an Indonesian I don't even know that there's also someone like him who dances and cross dance. He's very talented!

[@ireneclimenhaga8372]

Bravo mas Didik, still remember you when you visit Phnom Penh, Cambodia. You are as amazing as always. May God’s love imbedded even stronger in you that you reflect it wherever you are!

[@rtjahyadi7868]

He needs to be rewarded by the gov for his contribution in promoting indonesian performance art

[@ChickenMonkeyBubble]

You are one true artist and to top it off you are one of the nicest human being I have ever met. Thank you for being you and inspired many. You are One of God's favorite children. Love you lots mas Didik.

salam sekampung!

[@rianandrian9570]

Akan tiba suatu saat d mana rakyat indonesia sibuk dgn dirinya sendiri dan pekerjaannya sehingga mereka tdk perduli lagi dgn orang d sekelilingnya sehingga perbedaan gender menjadi tipis lalu kehidupan "yg lainnya" akan merdeka dgn sendirinya tdk ada ketakutan kegalauan utk berekspresi d muka umum selama masih pd jalur yg benar dan tdk menggangu kepentingan orang lain... Monggo...

[@shabiyawibawa2304]

[@Marianna2877]

There's so many talented people in Indonesia but many of them being oppressed by society and religion. Many proof why the new generation is not moving forward and confused.
