The study of Techniques for Presenting Cabaret Performers' Specific Areas of Emphasis.

Abstract

The cabaret performance is a popular entertainment among Thai and foreign tourists, defined by its unique approach that promotes powerful interaction between the audience and the artists. Moreover, it serves as a medium of entertainment that fosters innovation and the integration of diverse performance art aspects, resulting in the development of novel show formats according to the creators' interests.

This article aims to study the techniques for creating focal points for performers in the cabaret performance style. The author has reviewed textbooks, research papers, and related articles, as well as studied selected cabaret performances as case studies. These were chosen based on the reputations of four well-known and recognized cabaret performance groups in Thailand: 1. Alcazar Cabaret Pattaya, 2. Simon Cabaret Phuket, 3. Colosseum Show Pattaya, and 4. Tiffany's Show Pattaya. The study found that the approaches for establishing focal points for performers in the cabaret performance style comprise four essential elements: The vigor of the performer's posture and emotions in cabaret performances is characterized by a commanding presence, dynamic dancing, and an atmosphere of enjoyment and exuberance. The costumes of a cabaret performance are opulent garments characterized by vivid hues for the principal actors, highlighting embellishments crafted from lustrous, reflective materials. The cabaret performance employs technology that amplifies the artists' visibility. The environment is both functional and opulent, contemporary and refined. A diversified roster allows for a cabaret performance where lead artists need not consistently occupy the center stage.
