The research method comprised the following steps: data collection, data validation, and data analysis. The data were collected by observation, interview, and documentation. Moreover, the data were validated by source triangulation technique and analyzed by techniques as follows: data description, data screening, data interpretation, and evaluation. The data analysis relied on Hardsley’s theory regarding individual strategies in overcoming challenges and adapting to patterns of cultural changes. The results discovered that the conservation process of Wayang Wong Bocah performed by Tjipta Boedaja dance studio is regarded as: (1) an effort to preserve the culture by maintaining, protecting, conserving, and preventing it from damage and extinction; (2) an inheritance strategy by conducting routine training session to the children. In particular, the main findings of this study elaborate that the conservation and inheritance of Wayang Wong Bocah as the local wisdom potential require the passionate and willing individuals to conserve the art by ensuring the involvement of young generations as future art performers, the community as the support system of art conservation, and the government as the policymaker.
