Khon is the most stylized form of Thai dance. It is performed by troupes of non-speaking dancers, the story being told by a chorus at the side of the stage. Choreography follows traditional models rather than attempting to innovate.
Teaser: Khon performance - Episode of Suek Miyarap โขนศึกมัยราพณ์ 15-31กค.54 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12e95MOfDIc  Article from http://lolo-eatablethai.blogspot.com/2011/...erformance.html Yes ... Yes ... I am also the one who have seen this teaser ad and felt that I must see this ... It's only once a year to seen this grand performance ... Therefore, I was there last week to see this with my eyes and to hear this with my ears ... lastly to feel this with a feeling of 'proudly to be Thai' !!! For those who don't know what 'Khon - โขน' is ... I would like to give you a brief idea about this performance ... 'Khon' is a traditional most sophisticated form of Thai masked drama. It is belived to have been performed since the Ayutthaya Period (year 1350-1767). Traditionally the performers wore masks and all the speaking and singing were done by the reciters and the singers sitting at one side (or two sides) of the stage with the Thai orchestra. Most Khon performances feature episodes from the Ramakien, the Thai version of an Indian epic Ramayana. Therefore, the Khon roles are male humans, female humans, monkeys, and demons where the leading performers have to wear masks except angle. In short the epic is concerned with the protracted war between Rama the righteous King and Thotsakan the King of Demons, which is touches off by the abduction of Rama's beloved consort by the Demon King. Therefore, the drama is therefore full of love, magic, and war scenes. Last few years, HM the Queen Sirikit's original comments were based upon her concern for traditional forms of Thai dramatic art to be preserved so that younger generations and future generations of Thais can fully appreciate the incredible experience. HM the Queen has called for the preservation of Khon as it' the kingdom's most refined form of traditional dramatic art. Therefore in year 2009, The Support Foundation organized the first Khon Performance 'Episode of Prommas. Later in year 2010, Khon Performance 'Episode of Nang Loi' was also organized. This year, the Episode of Suek Miyarap or 'The Battle of Miyarap' has been arranged. The below clip are some scenes from Khon Performance : Episode of Suek Miyarap ... One thing I would say ... You have to see by your eyes !!! I was not able to take photos or VDOs as for it's not allowed - so this is the most I can find to show you how great the show is ... it covers most of the most important scenes (and most impressive scenes). Khon performance - Ramayana Episode of Suek Miyarap โขน ชุด ศึกมัยราพณ์.mov http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUjqULa7zh0     About the mask ... it in fact cover performer's head ... there are holes for visibility at eye position (of course). They are decorated to perfectly portray each characters and roles such as Yak (Demon) ... Masks are decorated with gold, lacquer, and paste jewels ... We Thais call this 'Nah-Khon'. In additional costumes for Khon is not only the mask ... but the beautiful thing is also the dress ... please look at how amazing the Thai Art can do with the design and material !!!        Anyway, I encourage you all to see this fantastic performance (take yourself, your family, and your kids) ... You will be wondered of the grand stage, sound, and lighting ... don't think the old performance is boring, I see by myself that children enjoyed it / laugh at it / and have fun with it ... you will get every moods you can feel from the story ... I bet you will enjoy it and think how comes the 3 hours show is so fast !!!    source: http://lolo-eatablethai.blogspot.com/2011/...erformance.html     |

You can't compare the original with the replica. Siamese/Thai dance is Rolex, your Khmer dance is Rolex replica.  You can't compare both, ok? Khmer replica has cheap material, funny design but try hard to name it as Rolex, the Siamese/Thai. LOLปล. รำเขมรนี่ก็อปไปทั้งหมดเลยนะครับ หลังนครวัดแตก เขมรไม่มีการสร้างสรรวัฒนธรรมอีกเลย ไม่มีงานศิลปแบบนครวัด ออกมาเลย เรียกว่าศิลปนครวัดสูญพันธ์ไปเลย ดูจากภาพนางอัปสรนครวัด น่าจะมีท่ารำแบบอินเดีย กระโดกกระเดก อันนี้ผมสันนิษฐานเอา เพราะ รำชวา ที่เขมรรับมา ก็กระโดกกระเดกคล้ายรำอินเดีย แม้ว่าเรารับวัฒนธรรมนครวัดมาจริง สมัยอยุธยาตอนต้น แต่รำไทย ก็ดูไม่เหมือนรำอินเดีย ต่างกันมาก แต่ว่าพื้นฐานเดียว มาจากท่ารำพรามหณ์อินเดีย อยุธยาคงปรับรำอินเดีย ให้ผสมผสานกับรำจากที่อื่น เลยออกมาเป็นรำไทย แล้วเราก็วิวัฒนาการมาเรื่อย มาช่วง ร1-ร4 สยามรวมลาว-เขมร เจ้านายลาวเขมร ก็มาอยู่กรุงเทพ ช่วงนี้เป็นช่วงสยามถ่ายทอดวัฒนธรรมไทย ออกไปลาว-เขมร ทำให้ทั้ง3ประเทศมีวัฒธรรมคล้ายกันในปจบ. ส่วนรำเขมร เจ้าเขมรองค์ด้วง น่าจะสมัย ร3 รับรำไทยเข้าไปในราชสำนัก ที่ไม่เคยมีรำชนิดนี้เลย อันนี้สำคัญมากเพราะเป็นหลักฐานสำคัญที่ยืนยันได้ว่า รำเขมรก็คือรำไทย ที่เอาไปปรับใช้ พอสมัย ร5 เจ้าป้า ของ มรว คึกฤทธ์ ปราโมช หนีภัยการเมือง ไปอยู่เขมร พร้อมละครรำไทย ได้เป็นมเหสีเจ้าเขมร ถ่ายทอด รำไทย ให้เขมร อีกครั้ง รำนางอัปสรเขมร ซืึ่งเพ่งประดิษฐ์ขึ้นมาใหม่ไม่เกิน100ปี ก็คือ รำไทย ปรับท่านิดหน่อย เช่นยกขาสูงให้เหมือนรูปในนครวัด แล้วก็เปลี่ยนขุดรำไทย เป็นชุดเลียนแบบนางอัปสรในนครวัด สรุป คือ รำเขมร ก็คือ รำไทย ที่เปลี่ยนรูปแบบไปบ้าง เปลี่ยนเป็นชุดนางอัปสรบ้าง แต่ก็คือรำไทยอยู่ดี -------------- ศิลปะเขมรสิ้นสุดลงตั้งแต่สมัยพระเจ้าชัยวรมันที่ 7 ทุกวันนี้ศิลปาการต่างๆ ของเขมรยุคปัจจุบัน ได้ยึดต้นแบบจากประเทศไทยทั้งสิ้น โดยเฉพาะในราชสำนักของเขมร รวมไปถึงพระราชวังเขมรินทร์ ต้นแบบจะมาจากไหน ถ้าไม่ใช่ประเทศไทย - รศ.ศรีศักร วัลลิโภดม This post has been edited by NoKhmen: Aug 24 2011, 10:02 AM |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khmer_classical_dance
scholars theorize that Khmer classical dance, as seen today, developed from, or was at least highly influenced by, Siamese classical dance innovations during the 19th century and precedent forms of Cambodian dance were different from the present form. According to Brandon, the lakhon nai of Siam was the main influence on Cambodian court dance in the 1800s. Banham also mentions performers from Thailand were brought to restructure the dance tradition for the royal court of Cambodia during the same period. Indeed, there were Siamese performers in the royal court of Cambodia according to most renown sources on the royal ballet, Groslier included; this suggests a strong connection to the court dances of Siam and it's influences. Sasagawa mentions Groslier's acknowledgement of Siamese performers in the royal dance troupe and also mentions Norodom Sihanouk claim that the Siamese 'taught Cambodia it's lost art form which they had preserved after sacking Angkor,' however, Sasagawa notes that the Siamese innovations (such as the story of Inao, an adaptation of the Malay version of Panji ) were not present in the Angkorian dance tradition This post has been edited by konlovethai: Aug 24 2011, 11:18 AM |
