Welcome to Makhampom

We are Makhampom.

We are not makhampom, the fruit. We are Makhampom, the theatre group.
We do theatre for community cultural development. We are 26 years old.
We grew out of Thailand’s 1970s pro-democracy movement.
We provide marginal Thai communities with theatre as micro media to
address local issues and discriminations. We train facilitators and
educators in Thailand and internationally. We explore a contemporary Thai theatre
and are prolific performers. We have an extensive schools touring and theatre
in education program. We perform at the Bangkok Theatre Festival and
international festivals. We host Study Tours and Theatre Laboratories.
We live and work with our partner communities in Chiang Dao. We are a team
of over 60 volunteers. We are a big family. We are like a folk community.
We are playful. We are poor. We have a culture of fun. We have our weaknesses.
We have our strengths. We are Makhampom.
We are now also the Makhampom Foundation.

'Art of Peace' Conflict Resolution Manual

We have just completed a trainers manual in theatre arts for conflict resolution called The Art of Peace. This outlines many of Makhampom’s key workshop processes. We will bring a box of the books to Australia for distribution or can be posted from Thailand for other countries. Let us know if interested. Cost is $10 plus postage.
