Commission a Performance

Commission a Thai Traditional–Contemporary Performance

Pichet Klunchun Dance Company (PKDC) offers commissioned performances and dance-based artworks that merge Thai classical traditions, contemporary choreography, and rigorous artistic research. Internationally recognized for redefining Thai dance in global contemporary contexts, PKDC collaborates with festivals, cultural institutions, museums, universities, and curators worldwide.

Our commissioned works are not entertainment packages. They are carefully developed artistic projects grounded in Thai cultural knowledge, refined aesthetics, and contemporary relevance.
