      ABSTRACT

      The Pichet Klunchun Dance Company - based in Bangkok, Thailand, but mostly performing in global dance venues - has evolved considerably in the last decade. This chapter examines how two performances worked to reorient and refocus the company during this time. The troupe’s Tam Kai (‘Follow the Chicken’) and Dancing with Death pieces sought to undo and open up, respectively, how company dancers could move together in the contemporary dance world. After contextualizing how these performances emerged and their performance histories as part of reinventing how the troupe moved, the chapter will locate the company’s evolution in the larger ecology of contemporary Thai dance.
