Performing Arts during the Reign of King Rama IX1
by Surapone Virulrak Ph.D2
Introduction Performing Arts during the Reign of King Rama IX is a research paper undertaken with the aim of studying the activities of performing arts in Thailand since His Majesty the King ascended the throne in 1946 (in 1999 the Thais celebrate his 72nd birthday and the 52nd year of his reign). The research focuses on the development of major theatre genres deriving from this period, including foreign forms which play a significant role in the performing arts culture of the country; information in available documents pertaining to performing arts of this period; interviews and questionnaires; and observation of live performances and videos. The research in this paper is divided into five aspects. First, the description of His Majesty the King's contribution to performing arts. Second, the descriptive analysis of performing arts educa- tion which is definitely a great achievement. Third, a survey of the status of various performing arts being performed in this period. Fourth, the study of rabam or dance set pieces which were choreo- graphed in a large scale. And fifth, an exploration into the characteristics of performing arts during Nora Poom Tewa, a great nora dance guru, performed for His Majesty the King at Chitrlada Palace, 20 March 1971 this reign. performance; these words are used today to Historical Perspective mean group dance, using hand and arm move- Performing Arts in Thailand were mentioned in ments or leg and foot movements.

His Majesty also wrote a book that became one of the great plays in his reign. In 1997, His Majesty wrote Maha Chanok, which is based upon an ancient Buddhist tale. He wished for the Thai readers to learn about the patience, endurance, and perseverance of the king who is the hero in the play, and use these virtues for their own success in life. His Majesty gra- ciously permitted Seri Wangnaitham, a national artist, to adapt his literature into a dance drama script and production which became established as another play in the Thai theatre repertoire. Consequently, this is recognised as a royal composition.

SPAFA Journal Vol. 9 No. 3 19 The World Heritage Education Kit an Educational Resource for Teachers
On June 4,1999, an educational resource kit for teachers entitled World Heritage in Young Hands: To Know, Cherish and Act was launched at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris. The kit consists of a wealth of multi-disciplinary, interactive teaching material designed to enable teachers worldwide to introduce World Heritage Education to their students.
The introduction of the Kit is only the first step in ensuring the incorporation of World Heritage Education into mainstream curricula throughout the world. The challenge of how to produce material for use by secondary-school teachers, worldwide, from different disciplines, has been recognised. The next step is to evaluate and adapt the Kit to meet regional and local needs, and this will be done in a series of sub-regional and national teacher training workshops throughout 1999 and 2000. The Kit, currently available in French and English, will also be translated into a number of local languages.
20 SPAFA Journal Vol. 9 No. 3 World Heritage in Young Hands is divided into five thematic sections, with 42 activities that teachers can use in and outside the classroom. Activities are hands-on and adaptable, challenging students from all disciplines to think about cultural and natural heritage on both local and global levels. The Kit also contains resource material such as The World Heritage Convention, the World Heritage map and laminated photographs of 25 World Heritage Sites, allowing teachers to bring life to the activities they choose.
Activities based on the following themes are designed to: The World Heritage Convention
• help students to develop knowledge and understanding of the World Heritage Convention, criteria used for nominating and inscribing sites and threats facing World Heritage; • encourage students to become involved in the protection of their own local heritage. World Heritage and Identity • highlight the relationship between World Heritage sites and cultural identity; • encourage students to cultivate respect for all peoples and their cultures, and develop a sense of responsibility for the world's natural and cultural heritage. World Heritage and Tourism • promote an awareness of the impact of tourism on World Heritage sites; • foster new forms of tourism that are conducive to heritage appreciation and conservation. World Heritage and the Environment • encourage students to develop a strong conser- vation ethic and responsibility for the environment; help students develop their ability to participate in the process of ecologically sustainable development. World Heritage and a Culture of Peace • highlight World Heritage sites as testimonies to peace, human rights and democracy; • promote tolerance and respect for all peoples and their cultures, and help students to develop teamwork skills. The Kit is the culmination of four years of planning and development that began when UNESCO and the Associated Schools Project Network (ASPnet) launched The Young People's World Heritage Project in 1994. At the first World Heritage Youth Forum in Bergen, Norway in 1995, the seed for the World Heritage Education Kit was planted, with participants acknowledging that there were insufficient resources on the subject of world heritage available to teachers. World Heritage experts, ASPnet educators and teachers were consulted on the content and the presentation of the kit, and at subsequent Youth Fora in Croatia, (1996), Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe/ Zambia (1996) and Beijing, China (1997), participants drafted and redrafted materials, providing feedback on the effectiveness of the Kit.

3 simultaneous art exhibitions in three different places linked by the Internet Project 304, in collaboration with Alliance Francaise International Art School, Bangkok and Plastique kinetic Worms (PKW), Singapore, will organise visual art travelling exhibitions entitled the "ParallelWORLD".

Each show consists of three simultaneous art exhibitions in three different places. One in Singapore, the other in another city, linked to the third in cyberspace. This show will subsequently tours throughout the Asian and European region as follow: PARA/SITE — Hong Kong, GLASSBOX — Paris, CELESTE & ELIOTKUNSTASALON —Zurich, PROJECT 304 — Bangkok, CEMETI FOUNDATION — Yogyakarta. During the exhibition in Bangkok, ParallelWORLD will run simultaneously an exhibition celebrating the 2nd year of Plastique Kinetic Worms in Singapore. An installation in Bangkok will serve as a vehicle or console for access to ParallelWORLD website and images from Bangkok. Artists involved: Zulkifle Mahmod (Singapore), Vincent Leow (Singapore), Coil Reaney (Australia), Karee Dahi (Australia), Miguel Chew (Singapore), Ray langenbach (USA), Paul Chang (Singapore), Rita Herbert (USA), Milenko Prvacki (Singapore), Coil Reaney (Australia), Karee Dahi (Australia), Miguel Chew (Singapore), Ray Langenbach (USA), Paul Chang (Singapore), Rita Herbert (USA), Milenko Prvacki (Singapore), Juliana Yasin (Singapore), Zutharli Adnan (Singapore), Laura Soon (Singapore), Sivakumaran (Singapore), Surasi Kusolwong (Bangkok), Kata Sangkhae (Bangkok), Philippe Laleu (France).
