BANGKOK — Rare is the chance to learn from an internationally recognized master of dance and rarer still that it would be free, but that’s what will happen this weekend at the capital city’s Bangkok Art and Culture Centre.

Leading a limited group of participants through the motions of his most recent production “Dance With Death,” Pichet Klunchun and his dance troupe will host three hour-long sessions starting at 6pm on Friday.

It’s a fair trade for Pichet, who is trying to raise funds to bring “Dancing With Death,” a production inspired by Loei’s Ghost Festival (Phi Ta Khon), to Thailand for the first time (It debuted in February in Japan).
