B-Floor Theater (Theater/Community Space), Bangkok
B-Floor is Thailand's vanguard physical theatre company. For over 10 years, B-Floor has been at the forefront of creating highly visual theatre combining movement and multimedia elements, and stimulating social and political awareness. B-Floor has not only enjoyed success in Thailand but has also impressed international audiences in the United States, France, Denmark, Egypt, India, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and Japan.
B-Floor's performances are developed through a process of creative collaboration known as Devised Theatre. B-Floor's plays often involve little or no script, focusing instead on highly visual and sensory storytelling that can communicate across borders of language and culture.
During improvisational "theatre labs," B-Floor experiments with the expressive abilities of the human body using Grotowski, Butoh, Viewpoints, and Laban movement techniques, as well as contemporary dance, mime, masks, gymnastics and martial arts. B-Floor further emphasizes incorporating other elements of theatre creation - such as objects, lights, sound, puppets and film - to create the play's narrative.
B-Floor's productions strive to raise social awareness by communicating personal experiences and inner struggles, and the points of view of suppressed ideas, people and events.
Makhampon Studio (Community Theater Space) , Bangkok
Makhampom has
been variously described as a family, a kindergarten, a university, a
community, a food centre, oh, and a theatre group. In essence it is a
social organization that works in the medium of theatre. From inception,
Makhampom has had a folk character, reflected in the sense of family, a
playfulness, and a Makhampom lifestyle. As a group, generated by
and generating volunteers, it is the love of the group and the love for
the work that has seen generation after generation of volunteer sustain
the organization.
Bangkok has traditionally been the home of Makhampom, but the idea of a countryside base has been long in the dreams. Chiang Dao is now this place, as Makhampom now lives in both the city and countryside. The Makhampom Living Theatre in the north of Thailand and the Makhampom Studio in the Bangkok are the hubs of Makhampom’s activities, as our work starts to take some new directions.
