Arts On Location and The College of Dramatic Arts, Bangkok, are collaborating for the first time to bring together international artists to train in the Thai Classical Mask Theatre, otherwise known in Thai as Khon.
Khon Workshop for International Artist
Khon is one of the most influential traditional performing arts of Thailand and has survived to this very day side by side with a variety of other traditional Eastern theatre practices, such as Noh theatre, Beijing Opera and Kathakali drama. These Eastern theatre traditions have inspired many internationally renowned artists such as Peter Brook, Ariane Mnouchkine and Eugenio Barba to develop their own unique style and innovative theatrical vocabulary at an international level.
Arts on Location has organised this workshop in Bangkok in order for the participants to experience and train in this traditional theatre form on location. Therefore the participating artists will discover the cultural context and environment in which this theatre practice was born and developed. Arts on Location’s anthropological approach aims at providing not only a high quality theatre workshop but a well-rounded cultural experience as well.
