The Thailand Choreography Symposium 2026 -- which will take place from Saturday until Feb 24 at Bangkok Kunsthalle and Chulalongkorn University -- responds to this long-standing condition. Building Through Collaboration, Not ReplicationThe Thailand Choreography Symposium 2026 has been realised through unprecedented international and institutional collaboration focused on long-term cultural development. A Living Laboratory, Not a Conventional ConferenceRejecting the format of a traditional academic symposium, the Thailand Choreography Symposium 2026 is conceived as a living laboratory. Tradition as a Living Force, Not a Museum ObjectAt the heart of the symposium lies a fundamental rethinking of tradition -- not as heritage to be preserved behind glass but as material for living creation. Tradition as a Progressive ToolBesides these exchanges, the symposium places emphasis on methodologies that critically interrogate tradition, identity and cultural norms.
