Testimonials:
Khon 2011: Boosaba Pananon 22/03/2012
I feel really fortunate to have been a participant in this workshop. From the ceremony on the first day, to the Grand Palace tour, to watching a professional Khon performance, and not to mention full days of training, this was a full 5 days, and 5 days that I won't forget. The instructors were incredibly skilled and very approachable and helpful. As a group, we quickly became disciplined and developed a sense of camaraderie all the way through to our performance at the end. This was a truly Arts on Location experience, and I would recommend it to anyone who's interested in digging a little bit deeper into Thai culture and history by studying this exquisite masked dance drama.
