คำตอบแบบสอบถามผู้เชี่ยวชาญเกี่ยวกับ การบูรณาการรากฐานทางวัฒนธรรมในการฝึกนักแสดง

This study investigates how selected Thai traditional performing arts techniques can be integrated into contemporary actor training in Thailand. Despite the country’s rich heritage of classical and folk performance, mainstream theatre education remains dominated by Western models, with traditional forms often marginalised or viewed as incompatible with modern performance contexts. Employing the Delphi method, the research engaged ten expert panellists across two rounds: initial in-depth interviews followed by a structured questionnaire assessing the relevance and adaptability of six traditional techniques. These included breathwork, exercises from classical and folk performance, movement sequences, folk dance improvisation, and traditional verse singing. Only breathwork achieved full consensus, affirming its foundational value in developing presence, concentration, and body–mind integration. While the other techniques did not meet all statistical consensus criteria, expert commentary revealed conditional support depending on context and pedagogical approach. Panellists stressed the importance of the teacher’s role as a facilitator, the learner’s attitude, and engaging with the cultural essence of traditional forms rather than replicating surface aesthetics. They also recommended integrating body, voice, singing, and storytelling, which are central to Thai performance traditions. Such a multidimensional approach supports holistic and embodied training suited to the interdisciplinary demands of contemporary performance.
