ARTICLES AND REVIEWS BY CHETANA NAGAVAJARA (September-October 2012)
The Philharmonie, Berlin
From 1 September to 15 October 2012, our Senior Adviser and former Project Leader, CHETANA NAGAVAJARA , was invited by the Free University Berlin to take up residence as a research fellow at the International Research Centre “ Interweaving Performance Cultures”. Besides his regular research activities, Archan Chetana benefited from his stay in Berlin to attend concerts and write reviews of these events that first appeared on his own FACEBOOK. He also crossed over to London for a week and wrote a review of a performance he saw at the National Theatre, plus some “RANDOM THOUHTS” on the visit to his old university in England. We have considered it appropriate to transfer these writings onto our Website. As for his lecture in Berlin on “The Lean Theatre” (Lakhon Phom), this will be available at a later date.
