How are Thai dance colleges educated?

Art Development College of the Ministry of Culture of Thailand is an art college directly under the Ministry of Culture of Thailand, which ranks among the best in the protection and excavation of traditional Thai arts, cultural and artistic education and promotion. In the 20 14 comprehensive ranking of Thai universities, Mahidol University ranks first, Chiang Mai University ranks third and Brapa University ranks fifth. These schools have established sister schools with Guangxi Arts Institute, which has written a new chapter of solid cooperation and close communication. Among them, the dance courses of the Art Development Institute of the Ministry of Culture of Thailand focus on traditional Thai dances and folk dances in eastern, northern and southern Thailand. We have professional traditional dance teachers and professional dance performance groups. The school has a good development in teaching, performance and scientific research. It is a relatively comprehensive and high-level Thai dance education university. The academic research on Thai traditional dance by the Development Art College of the Ministry of Culture of Thailand focuses on "Research on the innovative expression of the murals of Ed Upson, the gods". After interviewing and observing the murals of Buddhist holy places, Thai dramas depict the image of Ed Upson, the goddess of sacrificial ceremonies in temple murals. The school arranged this dance according to this academic theme. Dance is a combination of traditional Thai drama and Indian style. The music used for performance is a new type of music based on the traditional Thai music and the action concept of this dance combination. The dancer's costume is designed according to the image of the goddess in the mural under the principle of traditional Thai costume design. The performance is divided into three parts. The first part of the dance shows the specific movements of each apsorn goddess, mainly dance modeling; The second part, the image of the goddess Apthorne is displayed in the formation change and expression exchange of dancers; Finally, apsorn, the goddess played by the dancer, scattered flowers on the ground and gave blessings to everyone present. Throughout the performance, the dancers have been holding incense burners, emitting charming fragrance and full of mysterious colors. In addition, the Art Development Institute of the Ministry of Culture of Thailand once held a workshop and teaching exchange activity in Guangxi Art College. Ms. Varitong Taka, a traditional Thai dance teacher, and the actors taught a set of folk dance combinations in southern Thailand to the teachers and students of Guangxi Art College, and learned the dance movements of the two roles of men and women in this dance combination: in the state of crouching legs and trembling knees, the arm movements and formation changes are the main ones, and the hand movements are complex and changeable, but they all have certain meanings and are always maintained. " In the ASEAN Dance Show, teachers and students from the Art Development College of the Ministry of Culture of Thailand showed their unique traditional dances. The traditional dance performed by dancers is no longer just gorgeous costumes and slow movements. Their peaceful and solemn expressions like Buddha statues fully reflect the dancers' awe and love for their own art.

Thai universities have made great efforts and contributions to the cultivation of Thai dance talents. Through the exchange of dance art with Thai universities, China and Thailand have shown each other the training quality and teaching quality of artistic talents, and promoted the cooperation and development of dance art education between China and Thailand.
