In the past, Burmese puppetry served as a mean to inform the population on current events, to educate people, to display lifestyles and customs and to speak for the people. However, this ancient art was fading away until it was restored by the Marionette Theatre in Mandalay in 1986. Enjoy this one-hour show, which includes an introduction to to traditional Burmese dance and music, as well as the complex art of Myanmar’s string puppetry. SHAN PAPER UMBRELLA WORKSHOP Inle Lake | 8 hrs Visit a family-run Shan paper umbrella workshop in Pindaya, a lakeside town in the highlands of Shan State. Pindaya is well-known for its Shan paper, an age-old craft practiced by the indigenous Shan people and exquisite Shan paper umbrellas (Burmese parasols). Shan paper is traditionally hand-made from the fibres of mulberry trees growing in abundance in the region’s mountains. The owner will escort you around his artisan workshop, explaining each step of the long, complex umbrella process, with everything made by hand. Participate in the final production stages, creating individual artistic designs on your own Shan paper umbrella – a unique souvenir to take home. Later, explore Shwe U Min Cave Pagoda, a revered Burmese Buddhist pilgrimage site.

THE ART OF COOKING BURMESE CUISINE Bagan | 5 hrs Burmese cuisine is delicious, but not as well-known when compared to foods in other countries in the region. A terrific way to learn about a country’s cuisine is to cook some of its most popular dishes alongside a local chef. Travel ten minutes north of Bagan to the sleepy village of Wet Kyi Inn. Once there, a trained chef will take you to the market to browse local foods, and purchase ingredients to create an authentic Burmese lunch.

    A Delicate Balance Negotiating Isolation and Globalization in the Burmese Performing Arts Catherine Diamond If you walk on and on, you get to your destination. If you question much, you get your information. If you do not sleep and idle, you preserve your life! (Maung Htin Aung 1959:87) So go the three lines of wisdom offered to the lazy student Maung Pauk Khaing in the well- known eponymous folk tale. A group of impoverished village youngsters, led by their teacher Daw Khin Thida, adapted the tale in 2007 in their first attempt to perform a play. From a well-to-do family that does not understand her philanthropic impulses, Khin Thida, an English teacher by profession, works at her free school in Insein, a suburb of Yangon (Rangoon) infamous for its prison. The shy students practiced first in Burmese for their village audience, and then in English for some foreign donors who were coming to visit the school. Khin Thida has also bought land in Bagan (Pagan) and is building a culture center there, hoping to attract the street children who currently pander to tourists at the site’s immense network of temples.

  • Merit-Making and Monuments: an Investigation Into the Role of Religious Monuments and Settlement Patterning Surrounding the Classical Capital of Bagan, Myanmar
    MERIT-MAKING AND MONUMENTS: AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE ROLE OF RELIGIOUS MONUMENTS AND SETTLEMENT PATTERNING SURROUNDING THE CLASSICAL CAPITAL OF BAGAN, MYANMAR A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfill of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada ã Copyright by Ellie Tamura 2019 Anthropology M.A. Graduate Program January 2020 ABSTRACT Merit-Making and Monuments: An Investigation into the Role of Religious Monuments and Settlement Patterning Surrounding the Classical Capital of Bagan, Myanmar Ellie Tamura Bagan, Myanmar’s capital during the country’s Classical period (c. 800-1400 CE), and its surrounding landscape was once home to at least four thousand monuments. These monuments were the result of the Buddhist pursuit of merit-making, the idea that individuals could increase their socio-spiritual status by performing pious acts for the Sangha (Buddhist Order). Amongst the most meritous act was the construction of a religious monument. Using the iconographic record and historical literature, alongside entanglement theory, this thesis explores how the movement of labour, capital, and resources for the construction of these monuments influenced the settlement patterns of Bagan’s broader cityscape. The findings suggest that these monuments bound settlements, their inhabitants, and the Crown, in a variety of enabling and constraining relationships. This thesis has created the foundations for understanding the settlements of Bagan and serves as a useful platform to perform comparative studies once archaeological data for settlement patterning becomes available. Keywords: Southeast Asia, Settlement Patterns, Bagan, Entanglement, Religious Monuments, Buddhism, Archaeology ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS For the past three years, I have been incredibly fortunate in having the opportunity to do what I love, in one of the most wonderful countries, none of which would have been possible without the support of an amazing group of people.

Beyond the tower in the background, the king, in the Great Audience Hall, sat facing due east in his throne.” Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, Myanmar, is an extravagantly gold stupa and temple complex. Like all Buddhist stupas, it miniatur- izes a traditional concept of the cosmos into its architecture. Unlike other Buddhist stupas, however, it includes eight shrines for the planets, which are associated with the days of the week.
