Theatre Lab

The Theatre Lab is a new program giving international artists an immersion into Makhampom’s theatre practice. Based at our Living Theatre in Chiang Dao, the 15-day Lab includes an introductory training in the popular traditional Thai likay theatre and Makhampom’s intercultural theatre techniques, feeding into a performance-devising project and tour of local communities and Chiang Mai. The exchange that occurs between Thai and international artists also involves a thematic research process, a participant exchange workshop series, and group presentations & video showings

Participants will number 10-15 Thai and international artists

Facilitated by internationally-recognized trainers, Mr Pradit Prasartthong, Ms Pongjit Saphakhun, and Mr Richard Barber, the Lab also includes theoretical discussion, resources and documentation.

Dates: September 15 – 29, 2008
