You want to produce a play, but you don’t have the money. So you go to find the funds, only to realise you can’t find an audience. The humour of such circumstances seems clouded with exhaustion and discouragement, so much that you begin to rethink your place in this industry. Yet when Kris Sanguanpiyapand faced this exact situation, he smiled and kept running. Armed with ageless strength – as if sprinkled by Peter Pan’s fairy dust – and the determination to be a quality communicator, Kris has faith that theater will have its standing in our society. His meeting with a visually-impaired friend marked the beginning of a new idea: a play for a mix of blind and sighted audience, which he successfully produced. Kris invites us to explore our hearts and revisit our inner child, in order to bring out the creative spark that has been resting within us all.
– Kris graduated from Srinakharinwirot University’s Faculty of Fine Arts.
– He is the co-founder of Hidden Art Society, a theatre group producing plats for the visually impaired.
“We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world.”

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxBangkok, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxBangkok event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
