1st research project : The development of Thai Dance Vocabulary Notation with Labanotation
One general problem in Thai dance circle is that the used dance vocabularies are
understood only within peer groups
Those from other groups are not accepted although many of these various groups got
basic trainings on the similar songs or dance repertoires,
and possibly from same masters.
![Page 5: A lecture for the 26 th International Biennial Conference of ICKL](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56813494550346895d9b814c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
AS a result, there is neither standard nor common practice in naming similar patterns of posturing or movement.
Some sharing dance vocabularies feature different postures, while some similar postures are differently named.
Ironically, graduates from the same schools use dissimilar vocabularies, resulting extreme confusion
No one can be authorized enough to finalize any agreeable vocabularies to be widely used.
![Page 6: A lecture for the 26 th International Biennial Conference of ICKL](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56813494550346895d9b814c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
ObjectiveTo develop Thai classical dance
vocabularies based on Labanotation.To survey the efficiency on the
application of Labanotation in noting Thai classical dance vocabularies.
To survey opinion of students and relating people in Thai classical dance circle towards such application of Labanotation.
![Page 7: A lecture for the 26 th International Biennial Conference of ICKL](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56813494550346895d9b814c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Labanotation is a new innovation in Thailand which can be applied
in noting Thai classical dance vocabularies in an universal and
standard way.
![Page 8: A lecture for the 26 th International Biennial Conference of ICKL](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56813494550346895d9b814c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Methodology1. Surveying dance vocabularies
appeared and explained in documents, including interviewing dance artists, senior masters and experts
2. Creating a checklist by arranging the given dance vocabularies into alphabetical order.
![Page 9: A lecture for the 26 th International Biennial Conference of ICKL](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56813494550346895d9b814c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Methodology3. Inviting 30 experts in teaching and/or
performing Thai classical dance to sort only the vocabularies danced by male characters.
Bringing the relevant vocabularies from the second stage to be arranged in the order of their frequent.

Methodology4. Bringing the given list from the third
stage to a group of five experts and ask them to select the final list
These choices in the final list were brought for the following stage of studying

Methodology5. Inviting four masters who are honored as National Artist and one Distinguished Person on culture to dance the screened vocabularies.
Recording those dances in VTR, and noting them with Labanotation system.
![Page 12: A lecture for the 26 th International Biennial Conference of ICKL](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56813494550346895d9b814c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Methodology6. Forwarding those noted vacabularies to :
- Prof. Rhonda Ryman- Prof. Jang Ling Ling
to check the accuracy of notations, especially whether they correctly follow the Labanotation system.

Methodology7. Organizing a workshop seminar on the topic
“Dance Vocabularies : Labanotation”
The given results are analyzed by statistical methods by means of
- frequency-based - percentile-based calculation.
![Page 14: A lecture for the 26 th International Biennial Conference of ICKL](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56813494550346895d9b814c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The research results are not presented here because I would like to discuss only the topic of applying Labanotation into the studies of Thai classical dance, but they are available in the distributed papers.

2nd research project : The Essence of Thai Male Classical Dance
Thai classical dance….has been conventionally taught by means of
copying what one sees.has been transcended by this approach for
generations.
Amidst the current streams of cultural and artistic copying, exchanges, diversifying and hybridization, unless sufficient and proper archiving, the essence of Thai classical dance would become unrecognized and eventually extinct.
![Page 16: A lecture for the 26 th International Biennial Conference of ICKL](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56813494550346895d9b814c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
ObjectiveTo explore the componentsTo analyze the structureTo study the grammar of the essence of male
character (tua-phra) of court dance drama.
![Page 17: A lecture for the 26 th International Biennial Conference of ICKL](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56813494550346895d9b814c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The research frameworkEngages synthesizing concepts and
theories which relate to the significance of the essence of Thai male character dance.
Eastern and Western theoretical approaches to analyze body movements.
Three standard sets of standard etudes among Thai classical dance trainings (pleng-char, pleng-raew, pleng-mae bot)
![Page 18: A lecture for the 26 th International Biennial Conference of ICKL](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56813494550346895d9b814c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The research frameworkLinguistics theory.Visual arts theory and the law of
naturalistic commonalities.Interviewing the experts.The analysis is based on the subjects of
pleng-char, pleng-raew and pleng-mae bot, transcended by court style dancers.
![Page 19: A lecture for the 26 th International Biennial Conference of ICKL](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56813494550346895d9b814c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
MethodologyIn reaching my objective, I explored several stages
of experimentations as following :
Step 1 : studied the basic concept of AnatomyStep 2 : Explored 108 ‘garana’ movements of the god Siva as a guideline in analyzing the components and structure of Thai dance essence.
![Page 20: A lecture for the 26 th International Biennial Conference of ICKL](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56813494550346895d9b814c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The failure of this project was from ambiguously interpreting
the written dance patterns to be physical movement without any
record of bridging movement from one pattern to the following.

MethodologyStep 3 : adapted some symbols to stand for human body parts and movements
Verbal explanation is not enough to correctly illustrate the true postures and movements
![Page 22: A lecture for the 26 th International Biennial Conference of ICKL](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56813494550346895d9b814c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
MethodologyStep 4 :
tried creating a model in analyzing body movement
chart-based approach cannot feature details of body movement.

MethodologyStep 5 : working out
applied Labanotation by noting pleng char and pleng raew movementsaccording to the tempo of ‘ta-pone’,
a major percussion instrument
ta-pone
