ABSTRACT
B-Floor is a Bangkok-based physical theater company, founded in 1999. Although our company has made bodily movement central to its productions, members often began with little formal training in dance. In learning to effectively move onstage, company members have developed innovative strategies and practices to prepare artful bodies in motion for our performances. These new strategies and practices often arise from considering how practices of disciplining bodies shape Thai social life. By tracing how our company deploys bodies in motion for our work and how these bodies resonate with political movements of the Thai social body, this chapter helps identify the dynamic corporeal dimensions of contemporary Thai society, politics,, and culture by presenting current social and political issues through interacting bodies moving onstage.
