Tas Chongchadklang

Dancer

Tas Chongchadklang is a dancer with Pichet Klunchun Dance Company (PKDC), active with the company since 2019. Trained in Khon, Thailand’s classical masked dance tradition, with a specialization in giant demon roles (Yakh), Tas brings a powerful physical presence and precise movement vocabulary to his performances. He holds a degree in Music and Performing Arts from the Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, Burapha University.

Tas has been a core performer in PKDC’s internationally toured productions, including:

Dance Performances:

  • Black and White, Changmu Festival, Daehakro Arts Theater, Seoul, South Korea (28–31 Aug 2018)

Beyond his work with PKDC, Tas has begun carving his own creative path. His personal project, THODRUP (The Paradoxical Archetype: Process of Transformation and Identification in Dance), premiered at Chaloemla Park, Bangkok (9 Jun 2024), signaling a bold step into choreographic and conceptual exploration.

Tas’s performance style embodies the tension between formality and freedom — honoring the precision of Khon while pushing into abstraction. His ability to adapt, hybridize, and challenge traditional frameworks marks him as a vital force in the evolution of Thai contemporary dance.
